There are many other things I could have given as the title to this post, but that seems to be the most objective. There are many interpretations one could give to the information herein, but it seems they all come down to one thing — more than once has Ralph Reed been opposed to tightening immigration laws and it appears that this is another example of Ralph Reed following Grover Norquist and getting into trouble.
In 1996, it was actually the Democrats who were pushing to curtail immigration levels. Democratic heroine Barbara Jordan, on behalf of Bill Clinton, chaired a bipartisan commission and concluded that immigrants were taking jobs poor Americans actually would do, were doing them cheaper, and consequently were hurting the abilities of poor Americans to get gainful employment.
A bipartisan coalition gathered around the idea that illegal immigration must be stopped and legal immigration must be curtailed. A Wired Magazine article described the situation this way:
On Capitol Hill, Congress was poised to pass the most severe anti immigration legislation since the 1920s. Significantly, measures designed to crack down on illegals were paired with plans to slash legal immigration by 40 percent. Senator Alan Simpson and Representative Lamar Smith, the two leading Republican voices on immigration, were pushing the bills hard. The White House was sounding supportive, having been given cover to back the cuts by a set of similarly restrictive recommendations from a bipartisan commission chaired by the late, famously liberal Barbara Jordan. It was a powerful, if unlikely, alliance. And with no politician daring to risk being called “weak

Maurice,
I do not believe that for a minute, as she could have easily moved to Cobb County. Her description of her qualifications are too much of a coincendence, and I know for a fact that she is very much a Reed supporter and has been, since 2005 or even before that. And she is noted for talking with talking points. A private citizen does not work this hard for a candidate. As a matter of fact, when you are working with this newly created organization moving to Cobb County would be the logical mode of operation. And Maurice, you know that I know how to find out who people are.
As a matter of fact, Reed vouched for her to be chosen to be a delegate for Georgia. You see, I do not like these games and I think that people should disclose who they are when they are sworn in as a worker for the TAXPAYERS!
You all leave Debbie alone now. She is a wonderful person.
She is being attacked by The Cagle Pit Crew because she will not spin her wheels like the good ole redneck mountain boys are doing. She is bad mamajama!
Casey had one of his boys come out and speak for him at a Cobb Rally at Osborne High School. This boy had a cigarette behind his ear ( a real good example to high -risk students) . I overheard the husband of a dear lady running for State House lean over and say.. ” You may want to loose the cigarette from behind your ear man.”
I had to walk away so I would not laugh outloud and embarrass Cagles spokesperson -poor guy. I guess he thought Cobb County was a Corn Field with a Big Chicken in it! lol
It’s okay Debbie. I think we are all going to laugh all the way to the Senate Chambers come January 2007.
I asked Ralph Reed when did he decide to run for Lt. Gov. He told me he decided when he was an intern for Zell Miller. This campaign has been in the hopper for a long time. Much thought has gone into it.
Ralph Reed gets THE BLACK VOTE!
See the following black owned papers tomorrow-
Atlanta Daily World
The Atlanta Tribune
AUC Digest
The Atlanta Voice
The Columbus Times
Fort Valley Herald
The Herald
Metro County Courier
The Savannah Tribune
FYI -Lot’s of black folks are closet republicans and you will see them come out on July 18th and vote REED.
Linda, I met her when I spoke on behalf of Casey at the Cobb County Regional Republican Women’s forum last month. She is not the Debbie we know. I guarantee it.
She serves on the board of directors of that group. Do a google search.
Oh spare me the rib cracking laughter, Mr. Blackvoters. The Republican Primary will be doing good to get 4% of the black vote. But you may want to write a comic book because you are on the road to success.
Debbie is a pretty nice lady too. She’s definitely loyal, but on the wrong side in this race.
Well Maurice, send me an email with the proof!
BV,
Please refrain from drinking while posting on the Peach Pundit.
nothing to prove, that’s just the facts.
Surname, Maurice and photo.
Just remember Maurice, you cannot outsmart a Fox. I did not fall off the turnip truck yesterday.
And btw Debbie, Maurice posted a comment yesterday as did JD so are the racist, too? Are do they believe in freedom of expression and the First Amendment, and the right to read other people’s view points that are fighting against the corruption that you willingly support for KA-CHING!
Linda-
Debbie is in Cobb County.I know who she is. She was a supporter of Herman Cain like me. She knows common sense when she hears it. People like Debbie and me do work hard for the RIGHT thing. We are called good citizens!.
Debbie,
I heard from ASH that you recently got married. I pray you
great blessings upon your new life together.
REED ROCKS! Don’t forget it!
I meant to say they posted a comment on my blog. Beware of those whom you use for your own political gain because it has a way of coming back and biting you in the rear end.
And for all of you young Libertarians and Progresives, we honest people can all change this destructive path of lobbyist corruption and come together for a new moderate party that is made of compromises of honest hard working people. We can abolish the Ethics Board in Georgia because they are as useless as teats on a boar hog, anyway. When you get real people in the government maybe we can salvage this bankrupt government that career politicians have destroyed. No more big corporate donations, no more lobbying, no more taking our money from foreign governments. I just wish that I had known 30 years ago, what I now know at the age of 51.
Please visit a friend of mine’s blog in Houston County or actually website. Link to it, and get involved with this group and help push the best candidates forward. We can do little this election cycle to change the status quo, but in 2008, we could make a big difference. We need people to work on abolishing the SPLOST election code for starters. Check out Atwitsend!http://www.atwitsend.us/
I would like to think that I would have been an Andrew Jackson supporter. I bet that gets your goat doesn’t it, Mr. Blackvoters, aka Debbie. Got to go now, and light my corn cob pipe and head on over to Dublin to catch the tail end of the Redneck Games. HA!
Linda-
Pardon me for my direct approach here but you seem a little parnoid my dear. If I did not know better I would say you were one to lean toward conspiracies.
I have been called a lot in my life ” Nigger ” “Coon ”
” Porch Monkey ” but I have never been called Debbie!
That is a new one! lol
Look Linda -
Politis is a calculated science. There are numbers and formulas. There are absolutes and whoever understands the
trends, the tipping point, and the numbers best wins.
Cagle reaches out to the white Nascar crowd with his
big bright ” 06 signs” trying to scare up a few Richard Petty fans. Well, there will not be many of those down
here in Mableton and East Point.
The numbers are not there for him.
Heee Haw!
Let’s all eat some watermelon and be friends. Okay?
I am going to have to ask you not to smoke that corn cob crack pipe around me.
Just because I am black and male does not mean I smoke.
Contrary to popular belief.
Just messing with you. Don’t get mad! ( grin )
Hey if you are republican, then we are on the same team.
Group hug!
You know BV, we are not on the same team, and you can take that fact to the bank. I am a strict Constitutionalist that is a real Christian and a real fiscal conservative. Ask Maurice, he’ll tell you that I argued him into a corner about why he should not support the SPLOST here in Bibb County. But he was “lobbying” for a local govment (spelled wrong intentionally) position. You see real fiscal conservatives do not push for higher sales taxes that are progressive taxes that harm the poor and small businesses. You should see the number of businesses that have closed down here in Bibb County, since two back to back SPLOSTS were voted in. And yes, you can be fiscally conservative and a Christian, too. I do not play the game, as I am the master of the game. I got your number Blackvoter and you are an alias with another name posting on this blog. I am even guilty of posting under another screen name, but you would never guess who. Ha!
And btw, Mr. Blackvoters, we are Nascar fans and shucks we ain’t even rednecks.
Back to the issue at hand, Cagle is going to kick butt on July 18th. I am so glad that I have read this blog for more facts to help me to understand that Ralph Reed is not worthy of my vote.
Linda, you just have shown everyone how intelligent you are. Must be difficult to actually walk around with that much intelligence. And yes, I do think you are anti Jewish. Everyone should check out your postings in other threads.
Anyone that thinks David Duke is a genuine Christian needs to have their head examined. David Duke is a racist and anti-semite. You can not be a true christian and be anti Jewish. The Jews are God’s chosen people.
I urge you to check out these links on Duke.

“Why Cindy Sheehan is Right!
By David Duke
Cindy Sheehan, a mother who lost a son in the Iraq War, is determined to prevent other mothers and fathers from experiencing the same loss.
Courageously she has gone to Texas near the ranch of President Bush and braved the elements and a hostile Jewish supremacist media to demand a meeting with him and a good explanation why her son and other’s sons and daughters must die and be disfigured in a war for Israel rather than for America.
Recently, she had the courage to state the obvious that her son signed up in the military to protect America not to die for Israel.’
Just for the record,
Thanks Maurice for trying to convince Linda but I think it is a lost cause.
Thanks for the compliment, too. We are at least on the same team with Karen. She is going to emerge victorious. WE need to work hard for her and let people know not to believe Stephens.
Black voter, good job in your postings and thanks for the support. Trust me, we are not on the same team when it comes to Linda…She is an admirer of David Duke.
Linda, it all makes sense now about Reed. Mr. Norris thinks just about like you do, at a GOP breakfast recently presented me with material that listed Ralph Reed as a strong ally of Israel and he thought that was horrible. I bet you two even know each other. He accused Reed of putting aside U.S. interests to support Israel which is ridiculous. Israel is one of our strongest allies.
Well I will go on record as being 110% supportive of Israel and their cause. I think Bush’s troubles began when he urged Israel to pull out of the Gaza Strip. So start blasting me Linda….
Well, Ms. Debbie know it all, what did Cindy Sheehan’s son die for because it most certainly was not for weapons of mass destruction. I know why we are in the war, and it is because Sadam was going to start trading oil with Europe using the Euro for currency, which would have destroyed our currency. England is not in the European Union, which is why they went in with us in Iraq, but the voters in England are wary of Blair and angry over this war. We are in the war now, and we have to find a way to get out of it. We are also, as usual, fighting to keep the Muslims in the Middle East from forming a Caliphate where Muslims such as the Shiites, the Kurds and Sunnis come together as one for the cause of Allah. I know, Debbie, it is over your head.
If you think that I believe what Maurice has to say then you are absolutely misguided. I do not trust Maurice as far as I can throw him. But he has a right to fight for jobs and positions if that is his cup of tea. But, we are not of the same cloth. I campaigned for Maurice out in South Bibb and got him many, many votes, but he was only in it for himself. I am into politics because of everything that I see wrong in our Country, and I do not have a financial gain from it.
Black Voter Read what Philly posted above about Southern Voice. The African American pastors should love that:)
Linda, do you agree with what Duke says about the Jews and the fact we went to war to protect Israel?
Linda, your intelligence amazes me. Man, how do you manage to walk around?
You are wrong about Maurice. I don’t believe for a minute that he was only in it for himself. Maurice impresses me as a very selfless person. I think he commits himself to a cause and gives it 100%. I would agree with you that you and Maurice are not cut from the same cloth. I think that is something Maurice should be proud of.
Debbie read my previous post about what I believe about the war in Iraq after much research. The only thing that support our country is wars, Debbie. Didn’t you see the debt clock ticking away when you were in New York?
You see, we have lost a very dear friend in the Iraq War, and I have read and read everything I can get my hands on. We are off point here, which is that Cagle rightly deserves to get the educated voters vote. I have done my best to send out emails, and I will contact everyone I know.
Well, you know Maurice sure relied on me to support him with signs at my office. I also made sure he got invited to a political forum that he was left out of in Bibb County. I made sure his name was added to the mailouts, and I used my own supplies and printers to prepare mailouts with two other volunteers. I was a loyal friend to him, and he knows it. Maurice spit in my face because I was opposed to the SPLOST.
The fact you think David Duke is a genuine christian says all I need to know about you, Linda.
I hope you take it upon yourself to “educate” as many voters as you can. That should be what you spend your free hours doing . I am sure the Cagle Race Team is proud to have you on their team.
And btw, Debbie, I know how engineers make it in college because I had an engineer on my team in Policy Class in the Masters Program, and he never added a thing to the team projects. The rest of is fixed his butt when it came time to give a group grade to our professor on this guy that never took the time to show up to help with projects.
Debbie,
What in the heck does David Duke have to do with the price of tea in China. David Duke says he is a Christian, and I have never heard that fact suppressed in the media. All I know about David Duke is that he was trying to warn others about the plight that was destroying his home town of New Orleans where he grew up. I have never met him, but I have read some of his posts and he has some very well researched writings. He has also received a Doctorate from MAUV, the largest university system in the Ukraine. I would not call someone of that educational status a moron nor would I call the two researchers at Harvard that wrote what I suppose a thesis about Israel and the United States. (one’s last name is Waltz I believe).
You are off of your talking points, Debbie. Please check you Blackberry to see what Ralph Reed is asking you to post. Get busy, as the time clock is ticking.

Maurice and I are both former Hoosiers that ended up in Macon, Georgia. We both ran on fiscally conservate principals. One of us actually beleived in cutting costs instead of raising taxes. We both ran as a Republican, so let us play “What’s my Line.” Who is the real Republican?
conservative
And btw, Debbie, the ADL is not exactly a un-biased website. That is like telling a young person undecided about voting as a Democrat to read a GOP website. HA! Why don’t you read what David Duke writes, instead of relying on the media and radical websites to define what he stands for? I do not support everyone that I read material on, and do you actually believe that I would. Why I will write about someone in the Republican Party if I feel that they are not who they claim to be. I do not buy into partisan politics, and I suppose I can be best described as an Independent. I even wrote a letter to Bill Ferguson who writes in the Macon Telegraph and apologized to him for my criticism of him in 2004 for being on the fence post as an Independent. I told him that I was very foolish to buy into partisan politics, and he wrote back and thanked me for writing to him. Bill is a very smart writer, and I am glad that each experience in life allows me to learn something new.
Remember all, support Casey Cagle on July 18th.
Debbie,

At least Abraham Foxman, Executive Director of ADL, is consistent with attacks against Christians.
Linda, this is Debbie. http://www.cobbgop.org/
Get a grip.
you may have to refresh your browser. She’s pledging allegiance next to who likes like Mrs. Perdue.
Funny, every time one clicks the link a different photo comes up. I do not need a grip, Maurice. I just got to get off this darn computer and get some sleep and do some tax returns tomorrow. Hang in there friend.
Well, I will believe what my strong intuitions tell me to believe. I do not see a name on the website that states someone named Debbie. When something quacks like a duck, its a duck. Too many ducks line up in this personality that is posting as Debbie. Education, age, type of job, type of activist, and it sure sounds like the Debbie that gave me the oath to run on the Republican ticket in Bibb County. Besides, the fact that others step up and argue in her defense before she posts again sure smells like a rotten crappy to me.
Focus, people. Focus. This thread is for discussing Ralph’s efforts to kill Republican Immigration reform legislation. If you want to start your own Aryan thread, get a front pager to start one for you.
Again, talk of Ralph killing immigration reform, good. Using this thread to discuss David Duke, bad.
Hmmmm, is David Duke related to Doris Duke?
I agree, but sometimes it has to be spelled out. http://www.cobbgop.org/exec%20committee%20detail.html
July 18th won’t come soon enough.
Busdriver, thanks for intervening.
Actually everything on this blog has to do with people fighting against illegal immigration, but the Lt. Governor Candidate, Ralph Reed, flip-flops on the issue. Just like Kerry when he voted for the war and then voted against it, too. I did not bring up David Duke, but that is how people fight those that they despise by trying to destroy the message by destroying the messenger. You know, if I was actually the hate monger that some of you try to paint me as, my blog would not be in links on three differnt local websites. Two in Bibb County, and one in Houston County.
The truth is so controversial isn’t it? Even after 2006 years, people are still in a controversy over Jesus Christ. Thank you to Erick for posting the truth about Ralph.
Linda, Debbie, Linda, Debbie, Debbie, Linda, Linda, Debbie, Linda, Linda, Linda….Linda…sheesh!
TRUTH QUOTE AND OTHER BENJAMIN FRANKLIN QUOTES
Half a truth is often a great lie. Benjamin Franklin
The U. S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself. Benjamin Franklin
Hey Bowersville,
Do you see why a political consultant would not touch me with a ten foot pole? Ha! There was a time when debate ruled the day, when those brave men were writing our Constitution. You see these patriots had already fought there way out of the tyranny of the elitists, and no one trusted the other fully. I am a radical conservative, funny term isn’t it. Ha! I can’t expect any of you to know what I have learned in the last six years, and I could no doubt get into studying for a doctorate in history, but my time for school is over. My husband is retired and wants me to retire, too. Ralph Reed has my vote and my husband’s too!
Oh slip of tongue, I meant that Casey Cagle has my vote. OOPS I did it again and did not proof.
