But, I would advise you look at Cagle more closely. I’m not saying you are one of these people but in working with many constituents over the years, I have realized that many of them think their guy hasn’t done anything because they don’t see them walking old ladies across the street everyday.

I can assure you that Casey Cagle has done a lot while serving in the Senate, including voting for, sponsoring, introducing, and fighting for very important pieces of legislation. As an example, take SB 3 … Casey fought hard for Tort Reform in 2005, and the GOP passed it. That was huge!

There are numerous other instances where the same situation can be applied to Casey’s past work, his experience, and his leadership. Further, his private sector leadership is a huge asset, too. No offense to my good friend Erick, but I am tired of the days when all of the legislators are attorneys. Casey presents fresh experience in that regard.

The bottom line, here, Will is that Casey Cagle will be a great Lt. Governor, and possibly a great Governor one day, but let’s stick with getting him elected in November first. You, me, and all of Georgia’s citizens will be better off for it in the long run.

One note about turnout … that 22% number is not unusual. It wasn’t low because people don’t like dirty politics. I agree that the far majority of people indeed do not like politics that is dirty; however, that is the current nature of the beast. You can live in a dream world of naivite (sp?) and think “let’s dance around the camp fire and talk about what you can do for me” but I would encourage you to think more along the lines of “what can I do to elect good candidates and improve the system as a whole.” Kind of that whole “ask not what your country can do for you” thing. Either way, not voting only eliminates you from the equation entirely.

Casey never said anything about Reed supporting child prostitution, even though Ralph has said some pretty sketchy stuff about the marianas in the past. Par for course for Ralph. Consider yourself lucky that he didn’t win.

Now, I suggest you really look into Casey’s positive experience and leadership ability. Put aside your “I don’t like dirty politics” whining and get with the rest of the Party, so that we can make sure Mark Taylor doesn’t eat all of our children!!!!

welcome to the big leagues, Ralph

Google “Northern Mariannas Human Rights” and take a look at what has been going on there for several decades. Forced labor, child labor, sex tourism and child prostitution are widespread and Ralph Reed called it a “free-market paradise”. He was either childishly naive or complicit in the scheme.
