Well if Martha said it, it must be true. Especially if she said it on the Georgia Gang

It’s a quaint nickname in the spirit of the copy guy from SNL.

“Hey, it’s the Kellster. Kellie bellie ding dong. Smellie Kellie. ”

It might also be a car.

Maybe I’m a type of car.

I think it means you’re making copies.

I’m not sure what “Kellster” means, Dougie Fresh

I missed a comma,

It should be ” I support Handel, Kellster…”, and I have called Kellie “Helter Kellster” in the past in reference to the self same Beetles song.

That’s a stretch.

Sounds oddly similar to helter skelter.

Isn’t that a Beatles song?

Who the hell is Handel Kellster?

That would be fun.

Sadly, I cannot make it.

I was wanting to pop in on the PPers gathering a couple of weeks ago but could not break away.

Things are changing so that I have better control of my schedule.

Maybe next time.

I know. I just wanted to comment on his do-nothing platform for illegals. But, he’s not the only one. All the congress screwed this up and their lack of leadership continues to cost us billions.

I support Handel Kellster, I was just commenting on the fact our Reps do too much and are judge on “how much they get done” instead of the better “how much they undo”.

*regarding Macho’s “extremely liberal fiscal voting record” claim.

By: Joshua Morris

Joshua Morris — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:16:43 +0000

Proof?

Besides Colburn & Flake who didn’t have an extremely liberal fiscal voting record during the 8 years under George Bush.

I’m not a big fan of farm subsidizes at all, but comparing Deal’s campaign to Thompson’s is not very accurate. Deal made the clutch decision of hiring Mark Pettitt. Mark my words, Pettitt will single handily walk Deal right into the Governor’s mansion. I have never seen a better Assistant Political Director in my 17 years of life.

That’s true, Bill. Spending levels are set by the budget committee, and all the funds are used, whether earmarked or not.

When you used the word “done” that meant that he had actually accomplished all those things. I think what you meant to say is that he “tried for his district.”

Congressmen introduce bills all the time, that don’t have a chance, to curry favor with their districts. It’s as simple as asking an aide to draw it up for you and sending it out in a press release.

Or perhaps when using the word “done” you were referring to all of the liberal spending or post office naming he accomplished.

Doing “nothing” is great in some instances but Deal did nothing on immigration and Hall county is over run with Mexicans. No one speaks English at the local Wal Mart or mall and all the school material is sent home in both English and Spanish. I know this has happened in many cities but Deal was in DC to stop it and he knew it was a problem here at home.
Yes, he introduced the “birthright bill” but that went no where. He should have been pushing to close the border everyday he was there. Look at Hall County after 17 years, do you want all of GA to look that way?
