DEL.ICIO.USWatch what you say, says Cagle. And watch your back, warns another
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Other tidbits from a brief Friday afternoon session of the state GOP convention:
— “We can’t forget that the words that we say cannot be taken back,” said Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, whose masculinity was questioned by House Speaker Glenn Richardson during the past legislative session — in the middle of a confrontation over a failed tax cut package.
Incidentally, looking through the convention program, Richardson apparently doesn’t have a speaking role. Majority Whip Barry Fleming of Harlem, in a primary fight with U.S. Rep. Paul Broun of Athens, will be speaking on behalf of the state House Republican Caucus.
— Despite much happy talk, those three lost U.S. House seats — the last came this week in Mississippi — were on everyone’s mind.
“We must return to our core values quickly, if we are to survive as a party,” said Jason Shepherd, chairman of the Georgia Young Republicans.

Core values? You mean every man for himself, to hell with the social gospel of Jesus? Those core values? Republicans in our state were given the steering wheel for the first time, and they crashed the car before leaving the drive-way.
