I say leaves his seat vacant until his the term he was representing ends. We will have done two things 1-Show appreciation for the sacrifices and his dedication to the state of Georgia, and 2-I am sure none of the nine running will look out for anyone else but themself. Sorry my attitude toward politicians hit rock bottom when I found out in the State of Ga during primary, anyone can go to their local voter registra office and see which party people voted in. They can’t see who you voted for ,but which party.

Although this is a Republican inclined district, the candidate(s) who associate themselve(s) with the Democratic party should have a pretty good shot. Why? Given a choice, voters will probably be inclined to go for the candidate who can bring home the bacon…results over philosophy.

I agree that the voters will pick someone mainly a democrat to send to washington to get things done in the district because a republican won’t have any power or influence to be able to get things done in the 10th district.

Why would any 10th District voter cast their vote for one of those candidates who does NOT live there??? They do not have to reside in the district…but how many outsiders know the issues that concern the people who do?

I am sure some of them live there…does anyone know which ones?

Wow, what wishful thinking, folks. It’s a conservative district with a Republican front-runner. It would take a miracle for a Democrat to win.

Secondly, I agree, I wouldn’t vote for anyone who wasn’t from the district.

Yes, you can find out which ballot you took during a primary. I believe that’s part of the federal freedom of information act that’s been around since the early 1970s. You should be able to do that in any state.

Lastly, why don’t we leave the seat unfilled? Perhaps because we want representation in the lower house of Congress for the next year and a half…

Oh, missed the question: Jim Whitehead and Paul Broun live in the district. Apparently Marlow recently moved back to Lincolnton, so he’s in the district, too, now.

To the Editor:

Some people may think it silly to challenge the “facts” that turn up on the comics page, but Gary Trudeau missed the boat so badly a few weeks ago somebody needs to say something.

The “Doonesbury” creator made a worthwhile point in noting the multiple marriages among Republican presidential hopefuls, but his suggestion that Focus on the Family’s James Dobson isn’t concerned about the moral failings of those men is blatantly untrue.

Look online for Dobson’s name in reference to Election ’08 and you’ll find he hasn’t excused the misbehavior of any of the GOP field. He even pinned Newt Gingrich down on the radio about whether the former speaker had repented of cheating on his wife.

Trudeau’s liberalism – and his apparent desire to see someone named Clinton, Obama or Edwards elected in 2008 – is not surprising. That he’d simply make up lies about James Dobson to express that point is.

Thank you for your time,

Well, you only need to look at America to see that the Democrats and Republicans certainly can’t be trusted to protect us, keep us free, spend our money wisely, look out for our old age, protect and defend the free market, maintain a legitimate judicial branch, or anything else they have taken control over.

Time to vote Libertarian. It always has been the right time.
