I only looked at John’s FEC reports because exaggerated claims were made about how long he ran for office and how much money he raised. I wrote that to show how to do something more than complain, which others seem to think they are above doing. When you look at the FEC page regarding his campaign, the fact that he had filed twice in 2009 and there was no year end report stuck out like a sore thumb. December 31, 2009 was not that long ago.

As I said before, if the problem is with the FEC, John has my apologies. If it’s not, then it’s all true. I fail to see how any of this violated his rights, but maybe something is not working correctly in my mind.

I am tired of people who have this win-at-all-costs attitude. For too many people, it’s not about winning on issues, it’s about bashing the opposition, whether one is right or wrong. (see the left’s obsession with Palin and her family or the right’s obsession with Obama’s birth certificate).

The memos you sent me is obvious harassment anyway you slice it. I would suggest you drop it. I have no attention to take action against you and or anyone involved with this irresponsible violation of my rights. I only posted it to stop you and or others from using tactic like this to bully and or silence people. And any rational person reading your memos would definitely wonder what your real attentions are. I will give you the benefit of the doubt at this point. If you persist on this harassment I will be left with no choice but to seek legal advice as to how protect my rights against anyone involved.

As I said on this thread, the FEC has told us we have filed everything correctly.

I don’t see that e-mail as a statement that John should back off questioning Nathan Deal, but more of I saw him as a pot calling the kettle black. I was comparing that there were two campaigns and both had loans involved. One campaign did the paperwork correctly and was being questioned about if it was ethical to do it that way, and another didn’t do their paperwork correctly and had not been questioned on it at all, AFAIK. As a statement of fact, I (more or less) said John should express his opinions.

Now if John has done his paperwork correctly and the problems are solely with the FEC, I apologize if he felt offended by a private e-mail I sent to Icarus.

To any who think I am covering up for John and feel he should be held accountable to the highest extent of the law, you have a complaint written where you can just insert your name instead of mine.

As for me, I will proceed pretty much as if this hadn’t happened, but I will make an effort to be a tad more civil. I am just a little amused at some of the things that were said about me and names I have been called.

Agree or not, I always appreciate your well thought-out views. A far as Doug, I feel bad the relationship has come to this point. I realize as a party chairman he feels like he must defend all the candidates. And I happen to think this is the problem with both parties. And as you know I care more about issues than any party.

I only posted what happen to make sure it did not ever happen here again. People should not fear making a post under their own name for disagreeing on a topic.

I would hope someday Doug and I could have a beer and forget about what happen.
