Debbie, why do you keep bringing up that Reed is leading in Fundraising?? do you think political office should be bought??..
Ralph Reed has been involved in numerous scandals, he was even corrupt as a CR, where he began a life long friendship with his best buddy Jack Abramoff. He latter showed his disreguard to orthodox style campaigning by constant mudslinging while helpig Mitch Skandalakis. Karl Rove who isn’t a whole lot better said in 1999 that Reed was to dirty to work on the George W. Bush Campaign. I supported Bush in the 2000 primary, but out of disgust nearly switched to McCain after that repulsive blow below the Belt in which the Bush campaign accused McCain of having an “illigitement African Love Child” because the McCain family was generous enough to adopt a foreign born child. It turns out, the orchastrater of of that attack, one of the lowest attacks in Political history, was RALPH REED. The Former President of (Pat Robertson’s) Christian Coalition forgot about one of those comandments..”THOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS.” Besides the fact that Ralph Reed is a liability to the Georgia Republican Party (who with out him will do very well come November), a man that is willing to stoop to the lowest levels of political attacks does not deserve to be elected do catcher, let alone Lt. Governor of Georgia!

I wouldnt call him the Cynthia McKinney of the Republican Party…but I would say he is the Republican equivilent of Howard Dean. The Democrats want him to win bad, because they know that they have a better chance at beating him than they would Cagle. We need to show that we are smarter than Dean lovin’ Democrats by making sure our candidate has the expierence and MORAL VALUES necessary to be Lt. Governor. Casey Cagle is the only candidate that has the qualifications and the ability to win in November. Ralph Reed would do more for the Georgia GOP than he could ever imagine by simply dropping out know…but he wont and when he looses in July his political career will be over as far as holding an elected office is concerned.

Did you notice that the first thing the Democrats did after Zell cut an ad for Sonny was bring up Ralph Reed?

That wasn’t an accident. They know Ralph is the Cynthia McKinney of the Republican Party and that he’s their only chance at beating Sonny.

And youre going to tout the fact that you voted for Scandalakis and I guess I can understand Stancil(who never held elected office)..but Taylor was not bad for a Democrat. He was a driving force behind the HOPE, Peach Care, the GI bill, and 2 strikes and your out. But have you honestly ever voted Democrat in your life?? what about Zell??. Reed is relying way to much on endorsements, more than any other politician Ive seen…and thats sad that he can not survive with out them. I respect these people, but because of the fact that I admire them donsnt mean I will all the sudden disreguared Reeds numerous scandals and vote for him. To provide real leadership, you must have the trust and respect of those you lead (for the L.T. Gov. That’s the state senators: that’s Chip Rogers, John Wiles, and Judson Hill) Do you honestly think a man who is only using this imortant office to play hop-scotch to the Governor’s mansion, and in his fantasy world maybe even the White House will comend the Respect of the State Senators after he is attacking a close friend of theirs left and right. I don’t think so. The Democrats want Reed to win this primary and I’ll leave you to wonder why.
As for these talents and resources and national and international conections..thats all fine and dandy but in the end how does that make him more qualified then Cagle who has served in the State Senate and will lead the state senate…that is more of a qualification to me. And as for the vision and policy proposals..which one’s??? Im on his e-mail list and I havent seen any!! If Reed wins in July it will be simply over name ID and the fact that most Georgia Republican Voters did not research the candidates. The only Reed Supporters Ive met (and Ive met a lot) know him very well..so their bias gets in the way when they review the candidates. I was a Reed supporter, Ive met him just as much as Ive met Cagle..the only reason Im with the Cagle campaign now is that I considerd the 2 opptions and chose who was best for my State and the Republican party.

I am not a bit suprised that you support Cagle considering the fact you voted for Taylor in 1998 and 2002. After all Cagle donated a 1,000 to Taylor…

Reed can attrack a lot of talent and resourses to Georgia with his national and international contacts. Reed offers Georgia far more than Cagle can possibly imagine..

Reed offers vision and policy proposals. Reed offers strong leadership.

Hey Yall,
It’s amusing to me how some of yall have refferd to me as a “Cagle Mouth Piece” seeing as how I was an active volunteer for the Reed campaign up until I switched back in January. I must admit, I have not looked in to what ever “amended” document Cagle is in trouble for..but if that allegation is true it pales in comparison to the closets full of skeletons Ralph Reed owns.
Yall keep trying to pin the man on condributing to Mark Taylor back in 1998…that makes me like him even more, he disreguarded party lines and supported the right man. Yall can say what you want but Taylor has done a pretty good job for a Democrat and I supported him in ‘98 and ‘02…don’t get me wrong, he has his faults but he was much better that Skandalakis would have been. I will actively support Governor Perdue but I still have alot of respect for Taylor. And when you Ralph Reed followers try to get Cagle on supporting Taylor against the most corrupt Republican since I can remember, than that shows your ignorance and extreme partisanship.
You Reed folowers can think what you want, but I know there are many in our party in the same boat I am..we were attracted to Ralph Reed over name ID and for what he has done for the party…but the more we looked in to it we realized that we could not support such an un-ethical man. I dont know about you and ethics is very important to me, and Reed simply has way to much sketchyness in his past…I dont mind If Cagle’s people added on to Wikipedia the difference, Debbie, is that Cox attacked Taylor’s FAMILY BUSINESS…Cagles team has every right to bring up the scandolus past of Mr. Reed. If Reed wins I may even consider voting for the Democrat, I dont want to…but the man seriously scares me…and Im not brainwashed by the media, you are brainwashed by Ralph Reed!

You’re right Debbie, I have been regurgitating my comments over and over for all to see, which is why everyone complains about my posts on here being repetitive.

I swear if I said Atlanta was in North Georgia, you’d probably argue with me.

I’m not going to stop saying it.

Cagle is Georgi’s chief political hypocrite.

At least my tripe is original and unscripted by anyone but me. The fact of the matter is, Debbie, I am tired of arguing the same thing over and over with you. Every thread you post in, you say the same thing yuo have been saying since you first started posting. Your bullets are getting worn out.

I think I’m finally sick of Cagle/Reed threads. Debbie Ellis has lost her ability to yap intelligently about anything and sounds more like a rabid whack-job than a Republican activist.

My,My aren’t we a little terse today. It is a bet. Ralph will emerge victorious July 18th. He has plenty of money to buy air time for campaign ads. Timing is everything in politics….

Cagle will continue his negative campaign of desparation and lose.

Using your logic we can also expect Stephens and Kemp to win. After all they mostly had the same endrosements.

Demonbeck — Mon, 01 May 2006 16:06:41 +0000

Tell you what Debbie, I’ll pit Reed and all the star f#$@ers against Cagle and the hundreds of state and local officials any day of the week. I guarantee you that Cagle’s endorsers pull more supporters in Georgia then gReed’s endorsers any day of the week.

Voters have heard the Cagle campaign tell us what a bad person Reed is. They have heard the Cagle campaign spreading rumors about Reed’s imminent arrest for criminal activity.

The voters then see National Figures supporting Reed and defending him. It will boil down to who the voters believe. Cagle and the liberal press or Zell Miller, Sean Hannity, Rudy Giuliani, Guy Milner, Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, Former U.S. Senator Mack Mattingly, Nancy Coverdell, Bernie Marcus, Fred Cooper, Bo Callaway, Gov. Haley Barbour, etal.

Voters will see that Gov. Perdue has Zell campaigning for him so he must be pretty reliable.

Cagle has been shown to be a hypocrite this past week with him lying about the Taylor donation. Cagle slamming Reed about the Taylor ad, but his own campaign consultant appeared in the ad as Taylor and with Cagle puffing up his disclosure form and lying about how much he had received.

I forgot, how many electoral votes will RR pick up in NY if he wins because of Giuliani’s endorsement?

RR can claim all the Yankee votes he wants. Unless he is Diebold’s representative, he ain’t winning this race.

BTW, for all of you Christian Coalition types, what did Jesus say about money changers?

“Jesus entered the Temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. ‘It is written,’ he said to them, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer but you are making it a den of robbers.’” (Matthew 21:12-13)

Ralph Reed et al. have made careers out of turning religion into an ATM card. Regardless of the results in the coming primary, he’ll have hell to pay in the afterlife…literally.

I agree that it is a great coup for Sonny and Ralph to get Miller’s endorsement and Miller for media.

I don’t think Zell would give his endorsement if he had concerns about Reed’s ethics? With Miller, Giuliani, and other national figures coming out for Reed, Cagle–the glass house hypocrite–will be neutered.

Sorry nfire and landman. The mention of Delay cannot deflect your need to respond to gopdoc’s statements about what your candidate-Cagle-has done.

You must respond. Is Cagle a hypocrite or not? It clearly appears that he has his own sins and secrets in the closet.

Unfortunate for Cagle, his actions now negate his claim that he is ethically superior to Reed.

Obviously he is not.

Republican primary voters tend not to like hypocrites.

Cagle must answer. You guys are in trouble.

GOPDOC-get over yourself,I havent attacked Rove or Delay so stop doing what Reed does by hiding behind national figures.This mentality is exactly why you guys are going to get beat.This race is about Cagle and Reed and the STATE of GEORGIA NOT DC PERSONALITIES.

The fact is, unlike Reed’s races in the past he will not be able to intimidate anyone with his scare tactics and is having to be a candidate instead of a hatchett man that hides behinds the scene and blames someone else for his dirty work.

I do agree that our party is in trouble but its because of operatives like Abramnoff,Reed and there like.He will kill our ticket in November if he is on it PERIOD,AND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THIS CONCLUSION.
