Just because I like Huckabee, Tancredo, FDT, Coates, Broun, Reed, 
Staton, etc... Does not mean I am their SPOKESPERSON. They atre just all very good conservatives.</description>

You should cover your bases. Cobb is your base. You seemed to be more interested in &quot;your winning candidates&quot; than your YR&#039;s. I suggest you learn how to build a county wide oganization before moving to a State level!</description>

		<description>Hall YRs helped in Hall. Gwinnett YRs worked on Gwinnett campaigns. The Atlanta and Buckhead Clubs concentrated on Fulton County races. The Atlanta YRs were even as a group highlighted by Sonny as &quot;Volunteers of the Week.&quot;

The Chair of the Muscogee YRs was also county chair for Perdue&#039;s reelection. 

There were no Cobb YRs because the county GOP did not actively encourage Young Professionals to participate in the organization. I never saw county GOP leadership attend Cobb YR meetings while the club was struggling. Eventually, the leadership gave up and the club folded in November 2005.</description>

		<description>Well, Bill, let it be known that there is bipartisan agreement on the lunacy of GOPeach, particularly on matters of religion and the founding of the U.S.  If I were on your side of the aisle, I would consider her moniker a trademark infringement.</description>

While free markets and no government is my ideal, I&#039;m rational enough to see the benefits in working for free-er markets and less government.</description>

		<description>Joy,

Sorry for misreading your comments...I thought you weren&#039;t a nutcase by your first comment, but your follow-up one threw me off.

Contrary to Peach&#039;s beliefs, I do not spend every waking moment on this blog, so, if there is a long delay in my response (if I ever do respond in the first place), it is because I have other responsibilities in my life, far separate from the imaginary world Peach resides in...where she thinks our Constitution was &quot;ordained by God&quot;.

What is an &quot;AnCap?&quot;</description>

		<description>Hey, Peach.  After seeing this whole back and forth between you and Shep, I had to jump in and say something.  The YR&#039;s are getting people elected up here in Hall County.  Ask any GOP official who he or she wants on the team, and see who they tell you.  I guarantee you we can canvass neighborhoods, distribute literature, and generally campaign with the best.  We have the energy and enthusiasm you reminisce about.  So go back to spanking the kids&#039; fannies, and quit trying to throw us under the bus.</description>

		<description>&quot;If you and “Joy” cannot fathom that concept, I cannot help either of you…you are both terminally ignorant.&quot;

Bill,
Please, Please, PLEASE do not lump me in with GOPeach. The comment which she seems to take in support of her fundie views was really a comment on her choice of words, and a joke.

The only thing that would bother me more than a massive nanny state government is one run by the dictates of religious zealots, no matter their particular flavor of the divine.

And &quot;Joy&quot; is not another of GOPeach&#039;s secret identities... Joy is an AnCap whose religious views  are her own.</description>

		<description>GOPeach

You seem to miss the point about a lack of support from the county chairman.  YR clubs are a valuable asset to the GOP but they are often overlooked.  If we had elephants who would we be reaching out to?  If they are of age and at the convention then chances are they are already apart of a club.   

A major part of being a YR is being social.  I know that sounds like something worthless but let me explain.  The young people who come into our clubs are there because they want to be around like minded individuals.  We have so many social events because we want to attract people to something fun.  When they see that politics can be fun and educational they tend to get more involved and invite their friends.  

YRs need support from the county chairmen and the State Chairman because we need the leaders of the senior party for advice and leadership as much as they need us to knock on doors.  So when you say &quot;where were the YRs&quot; we will respond with &quot;where were you.&quot;  Stop turning your nose up at us if you think we are not out during campaign season because we are and there is plenty of time during the off season for you to support the YRs.  In your 50+ years I would hope you would have learned that part of being a leader is being able to train the future leaders and no sit back and wait for them to do it themselves.</description>

		<description>Jason, Jason, Jason -

I am really flattered you would ask me to join the YOUNG Republicans at the age of 50+. :)   Right now- I have some health issues that have come from being a caretaker which limit my involvement. Plus I have grand kids that keep me very busy!!!!

Now - I am not &quot;attacking you&quot; and you do not need Donovan to jump in and give you back up. You asked for my check and I simply told you why I have yet to send it. 

Attacking ASH and blaming him for the cause the YR&#039;s do not exist in Cobb is a cop out!!!  How does one person shut down an organization? It just shows me it was weak to begin with!  I would hope that you would stop making exuses and blaming &quot; my hero&quot; for your failures. 

I would respect you a whole lot more if you would be more humble! You are full of it Jason. 

To say, &quot; I’m happy I scare you. Considering my candidates tend to win and yours don’t, I should continue to scare you.&quot; makes me think you should become a campaign consultant instead of the chairman of a statewide organization!</description>

		<description>Peach,

You can practice all the religion you want, in whatever form you want.

BUT, this concept of requiring that &quot;Christianity be in the public square&quot; has got to stop.

Everywhere where a town or city has placed &quot;Christianity in the public square,&quot; they do so at the absolute exclusion of every single other religion.

SO, I don&#039;t want Judaism, I don&#039;t want Muslim-ism, I don&#039;t want Buddahism, Christianity, or whatever being allowed to use public funds or public resources to &quot;display&quot; their beliefs.

That is my point.  Yet, Rob Doll apparently beleives that Christianity (and, ONLY Christianity, at the exclusion and recognition of every other religion) should be the only one &quot;displayed in the public square.&quot;

If you and &quot;Joy&quot; cannot fathom that concept, I cannot help either of you...you are both terminally ignorant.</description>

I think your attack on Jason about YRs not focusing on grassroots campaigns in local races is wrong.   I can speak from experience that the Atlanta Young Republicans we knocking on doors every weekend during the campaign season and making phone calls during the week.  The AYRs alone volunteered on over 12 campaigns last year from the Governor, in which we were volunteer of the week, Cagle, Handle, and Mac Collins to name a few.  There is not a YR club in Cobb County which is not Jason&#039;s fault.  He has worked to get the club up and running but that takes times and someone within that club to build.  The YRs are active and making a difference and to make those comments is insulting to us who were out there every weekend working to get Republicans elected.</description>

		<description>Gabe,

It was carried by Greg Howard, but it was Dvorscak&#039;s attempt to try and get something changed thta he could use to try (for the 2nd time in 2 days) to get the appeal thrown out on a technicality.

What I will call the &quot;Dvorscak Amendment&quot; was Howard&#039;s proposal that the number of people required to put forth an initial protest at the county level match what the number is required to appeal it.  That is, the amended Rules peoposed by the Rules Committee was to set the number of people required for the first appeal to be &quot;5 people&quot; and the 2nd appeal to be &quot;25 people.&quot;

Dvorscak and Howard were seen by all who desired to observe in heavy consultation on the floor, and it was Greg Howard who proposed that the rule change be amended to require that &quot;25 people be required to file the 1st appeal and 25 people required to file any following appeals.&quot;

Dvorscak&#039;s thinking/hoping was to change this rule so he could somehow argue at the state committee level that &quot;Hey, look, this appeal should have to abide by this new rule!&quot;

That, AND the fact that I predict that there will be another foul-up in Fulton County&#039;s convention next year if Dvorscak and his &quot;pepes&quot; are allowed to continue to run things at Fulton County, makes me think thta Dvorscak was definietly trying to make it more difficult to challenge his foul-ups for the future.</description>
