Such consideration is understandable in light of Perdue’s impressive victory. unfortunately, it was achieved under a cloud of possible abuse of the Office of Governor for personal enrichment and some conflicts of interests.

The clouds persists because of Perdue’s misleading responses during the campaign and a perceived arrogance to continuing questions about the customized tax break he received on his Florida land deal and his failure to disclose the purchase of land adjacent to his home…land that tripled in value because of actions he took as Governor.

No public official is above scrutiny. A continued brush off of questions about the matter will not only hurt is governance but embarass the State, which noone who loves Georgia wants to happen. Perdue needs to deal with the matter forthright.

In most of the country Purdue is synonymous with cheap chicken. The late night circuit, if no one else, will savour his candidacy.

Goobernor Perdoofus for President?

He might be the only person in the world that would be worse than Dumbya.

The freerepublic site is populated by moronic white trash, Perdofous’s people.

So long as Cynthia Tucker is on the AJC payroll, they might want to hold off on the criticism of others’ spelling abilities.

Goobernor Perdoofus - loved and admired by stumpbroke white trash nationwide. A first class POS. That’s why Georgia trash love him.

I couldn’t support him for Governor. Unless he shows leadership skills and visionary powers which have hithertofore eluded him, I could not vote for him as President, either. He has not demonstrated anything which would suggest that he could perform on the big stage.

I am no Perdue fan but for those of you who are laughing do you remember those who laughed at Carter?

I guess if he won we’d have Gov. Casey instead of Sonny and it would sure get in Karen Handel’s way in her plans to run for Gov.

SORRY KARL The president entered Karl’s office and found Karl busy with his Lego game building a model of the Brooklyn Bridge on his empty desk. Promptly, Karl got up and put his jacket on, straightened out his necktie and clumsily attempted to hide the Tequila bottle sitting on the floor.

“What a pleasant surprise Mister President! How did the meeting with those radical liberals, cut and run, white-flagged, soft-on-terror Democrats go?”

The President shook his head sadly and replied:

“Karl, Karl. That is no way to refer to decent, patriotic, responsible citizens, who are offering their cooperation and good will The atmosphere has improved a great deal; even Cheney has promised not to tell any of them to go f… himself!”

“Sorry to hear that. It was fun to deepen the void that separated us, to denigrate their ambiguities and to outsmart them at every turn. Now, are you planning to replace me? Fire me? Retire me?”

“None of the above. As of now you are Lieut. Colonel Karl Rove and will be attached to the Second Army, 4th Attack Batallion in Kasar, Trilka, Basra and Kilingia. Your cunning and improvisation will be extremely useful in those cities that are now in the hands of insurgents, Al Qaeda terrorists, mixed militias and independent sharpshooters. I am sure that you will do a great job!”

Karl fainted. He is still out when we filed this report.

When you have leadership and a faction of a political party who would deign to imply that they know what’s BEST for 300 Million people and the entire universe, that’s a frightening thought.

Sunni Purdue and his wife, Sue, is worse that Mussolini and his wife Pussolini. If a man has a wife with a name that rhymes, then that man is a fascist, and there’s never been an exception: Heetler unt his frauline Teetler, Taras Bulbar and his wife Mulva. Attilla the Hun and his wife….oh dont go there!!!

A republican doesn’t have to do a whole lot to win in GA these days. Perdue’s biggest accomplishment is running against a poor democratic opponent in an over the top conservative state.

He would have no appeal nationally. Short, fat, and bald with no vision isn’t going to sell widely. Sorry, the superficial characteristics matter too when contemplating such a run.

Besdies, he will be lucky to get out of office with no further inspection of his personal business dealings while gov. Why open himself up to the scrutiny of the national media? His secretive approach such as the last minute personal tax break will be frowned upon outside the state.

People said the same thing about GWB. Amercian voters, if nothing else, are fickle and unpredictable. You never know who might get elected. The only thing I can say with some confidence is that we will not see, for decades, a woman or some one of color becoming President. Hillary can forget it and so can Barack Obama. The presidency will remain a “Good Ole Boy” club for the foreseeable future. The American voters are not THAT opened minded. Just an opinion.

I”m a republican. I supported Sonny. but this is just plain ridiculous.

He was better than taylro and barnes but he’s no president. I mean seriously!

PlainTruth, for the most part I agree with you but now that voters have gotten a good taste of what happens when you elect stupid + corrupt perhaps they will be a little more careful than to vote for a placid smile and an easygoing demeanor.

Sharon H. I hope that you are right. We need some one with vision to lead this nation and to, once again, be a shining example to the world of what TRUE democracy should be like. The past few years we’ve presented ourselves to be a Super Power bully abroad and the Constitution has been used for toilet paper at home. The Constitution can NEVER be relegated to being a “g******* piece of paper.” Without it, we are not the United States of America, but rather a pseudo fascist regime. Again, just my opinion.

Hey, I’m all for it. This would be a sure to elect a democrat to the whitehouse in ‘08. Freepers are a loser web site.
