You almost had me going until you mentioned Sonny Perdue and a steak dinner.

I remember Sonny out there campaigning and complaining about eating pork n beans.

What you all forget is Ralph’s superior grassroots network.

That will deliver Ralph to the White House, erm, Governor’s Mansion, erm, where does the Lite Gov live?

Anyways, Ralph is well positioned to win, even home schoolers like him and will work for him.

Watch out, Reed will prove the non believers wrong or my name isn’t Sonny Perdue, erm, I mean, put a steak dinner on it.

I love the way these nuggets keep on getting unearthed. Maybe there will be a return of one of the LOOONNNNNN threads that had its comments shut-off, but somehow, the comments will be turned back on.

I think the thread started with something like “Another…”.somebody-somebody’s last name…thread….or something like that.

I don’t know Clint & Sheppie,

With Ralph’s close ties to the big man upstairs, I’m sure he can make sure we get plenty of rain, and keep us out of unnecessary wars with border states.

No blood for river water!

Great post Clint! I think we’re seeing the beginning of the end of the Reed campaign. I will say he was great to serve with as one of his Vice-Chairs.

Couple of clarifications based on emails and calls I have gotten:

1. My friend who “married me” is not the person to whom I am married – it was the preacher who performed the ceremony. Poor wording on my part.

2. Ralph’s work on China pre-dated my work on his chairman’s campaign. However, I did not learn of it until after 2001. This was a fair question from some folks, so wanted to make it clear.

bruce benidict:

Clint Austin has more than one income. He is a political consultant and lobbyist…successful at both might I add. He is even on good terms with Senator Seabaugh. Not sure where you are getting your information but it is incorrect.

What also bothers me is your conclusion that Georgia will have a K Street Project if Ralph Reed wins. You mean to tell me that if Casey wins or if Ralph wins the primary they will shut the doors on those who supported their opponent? Crazy thought, sir. First, the winner is going to need money to take on the Democrat in November. Like it or not, there is a race come 11.07.06. Second, come January 2007 there will be many issues under the gold dome and most of the lobbyists have found a way to become GOP centered if they weren’t before. Are you saying all doors will be shut on the second floor if they didn’t support the winner? That is a lot of people to be silent to.

Doesn’t sound smart to burn bridges…lobbyists like Mr. Austin have multiple clients that represent small interests to big business.

Snap out of it. Clint doesn’t deserve your questions or suggested implications for speaking his mind.

Clint, that was a very well written piece.

Bill, I think Ralph’s Indian name is “Little Chief Cashing Checks.”

Debbie, I just do not get it. You have to be an act. No one could honestly keep up this facade of lies for so long.

I have a whole lot of respect for you, Clint Austen. Well said, and I have to agree with Smilican in regards to your reasoning except unlike him I’m voting for Cagle as well. That is unless of course, Reed emails me personally like GOPeach said
- just giving you are hard time, GOPeach, its all in good fun. After all, at this point in time we should all accept we’ve all made up our minds and we will see the results tomorrow. And if someone on here has NOT made up their mind, well I doubt any of our bickering will sway them.

Clint, I first met you when Ralph was running for GAGOP chairman. In ‘01 and ‘02 I got to know him and some of his associates like Linda Hamrick. I was quickly disillusioned when I learned first-hand how Ralph peddled his influence and sold out his Christian values. You summed him up well and I think you answered the often asked question of just what it is about him that so many find detestable.

Thanks

[...] You can read a great piece by a former Reed supporter about an issue we haven’t hit yet, Reed’s rather unChristian work to give China Most Favored Nation status, here on Peach Pundit. [...]

>>”"”by attacking a candidate online you somehow offer the idea that people hold credence in your opinion”"”

By attacking a candidate online, that makes us … voters. You don’t have to be a pundit, a writer, a blogger, a journalist, an elected official, a staffer, or anything quite frankly to opine about a political candidate who is so involved in political scandals that he doesn’t even remember what the truth is anymore. You do have to be alive, and that is pretty much the standard.

That’s 99% true. All former Reed employees are in fact working for Cagle, but there is one guy that used to work for Ralph who isn’t working for Cagle. His name is Robin and he’s currently in Peterson Federal Correction Facility in Virginia. See, Ralph doesn’t mind if you’re a pederast. All that matters is whether the (laundered) check clears.

Smillican,

How is this ANY different from the reasons that the Cagle supporters on this website?

(1) He sold out Christians to make a buck off of China

(2) He set up “Christian” organizations to launder his money and manipulate the government

(3) His character doesn’t match his lies

This is just another example of what everyone else has been saying for months. Are you saying that our criticisms of Reed are invalid?
