		<description>Bubba, do you measure gas in 2.5 gallon increments?  I filled up on the way home from the Georgia game today for $1.52 per gallon.  Or was this post written back in August?</description>

		<description>A runoff is all about turnout.  Look at voting demographic groups paired with who will turnout in the Senate race and you should be able to understand why the mailers went out.  Like them or not they will turn out voters for &quot;Bubba&quot;.

It&#039;s politics.</description>

I WAS right!

OK I knew, subconsciously this was based on some christian group, as evidenced by the tiny url in the lower right corner. If it smells like a duck..

Shep, your point is well taken, but it begs the broader question of why politicians are focused on pandering to their base, instead of trying to act bold and reach out to undecideds? Opponent figures the Christian groups have no dog in the hunt of this office, so he ignored their &#039;gotcha&#039; position poll.  

And this candidate features an entire panel of &#039;selected answers&#039;. Blatant attempts at manipulation of The Simple Folk&#8482; , as I gently refer them, is a key I look for in determining the integrity of a candidate.

I&#039;ll stop here.

When I read on a political mailer anything that has to do with intimating that &#039;Christians Support Me, therefore I am Godlike&#039; it is an automatic DQ. They retain 0% credibility, as long as they attempt to tie those two powerful forces together (religion and government).

This candidate gets no vote from me. He panders to the simplest of folk for the wrong reasons. He, and his, are part of the problem.

I do not know nor really support the opponent, but the more we all type, the more it helps me decided my vote.</description>

		<description>Rick, I think Jim Beck who heads the Christian Coalition in Georgia would think they are different organizations.

Sadie Fields left the Christian Coalition and formed the Georgia Christian Alliance. After about a year of no leadership, the Christian Coalition&#039;s national organization asked Beck to try to rebuild the organization in GA. The biggestest difficulty rests in the fact most people can&#039;t separate Fields from the GACC.

I do wonder what is the definition of a &quot;Christian&quot; energy policy, but I would list out every endorsement I had too, especially if it would give me a few more votes in a runoff from voters who may end up looking at personalities.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t realize Bubba was also a small business owner.  This makes me lean even further for him, as I&#039;m a little suspicious of a lifetime government bureaucrat who&#039;s bought into all these &quot;green&quot; energy programs and &quot;green&quot; taxes; having no idea what it does to the bottom line of businesses and homeowners.

I emphasize &quot;green&quot;, since a bunch of the programs don&#039;t do anything for the environment but line the pockets of those participating in one of the biggest scams going - the selling of carbon credits.  So hypocrites like Gore and Edwards can still in live in grotesque McMansions and fly around in private jets while chuckling, &quot;let them eat cake&quot; as  they buy &quot;credits&quot; from some dude who owns a lot of trees.</description>

		<description>Sir, why is the endorsement of the Christian Christian Alliance so important (in this campaign), you devote an entire panel to a section of non-information? 

In other words, why is your position on abortion an important factor in deciding if you are qualified for the job, given you feel it is job related enough to highlight said position on a mailing?

Back in Texas, we call this &quot;pandering&quot;. 

Be well.</description>

		<description>When I was growing up, my mother had a Swear Jar.  Any time we cussed, we had to put $1 in the Swear Jar.  I wonder if there&#039;s a Bubba Jar at the McDonald campaign.</description>
