How will he “help raise money?” Will he wash my car in a pair of short shorts? Will he bring some Tijuana brownies for the bake sale? Tell me the people of Georgia aren’t going to pull out their wallets on the mere presence of the utter failure Chimp-in-Chief? Surely they can’t be that stupid!

Ewww… time to fumigate.
Traitors and cowards always tend to leave a stink behind them. I wonder who’s going to shovel out the Oval Office for President Obama?

Come on out to see the president that will be hailed as our greatest in about fifty years. Gaze upon the countenance of the man that’s kept us safe for over seven years, liberated not one, but two countries. Hear him wax eloquently about the virtues of being a conservative in the midst of those vile liberals. Fork over your hard earned bucks, because we’re better off now than we were nine years ago. When you’ve done all of this, just know that the mission was accomplished years ago, and then hop in your $4.00 a gallon gas guzzler and run out for more crack, because surely you’ll have depleted your stash by then.

After seeing Goddard twice & talkking to him once I knew he was in deep throuble. Jim Marshal is actually more conservative then the General. The General looks down on us common folks & is 1 of those borrow & spend people. He has a secret plan to cut spending but won’t discuss it, his drill now plan is the same as Marshall’s. He needs to post on his web site the programs he will vote to cut & how much money it will save. Guess I’ll call his office monday & see if I can get my picture taken with “W” for a grand, then I can tell my grandkids how “W” came to me for help.

Re: FD
I often think libs don’t like the fact that we haven’t had another terrorist attack on our soil in 7 years. In fact, I believe most would welcome it. That would give them something to carp about for another 10 years. When someone hates the president more than he loves his country, well, that’s unpatriotic. I often disagree with politicians but would never wish harm on America just to make a political point.
So the president is now responsible for gas prices? Where do you find that in the Constitution? Next to the right to an abortion (and healthcare, and a “free” college education, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum).

Perplexed by Miscreants Clinton & Carter had NO attacks on the US homeland. Man you are stupid.

We live in a different world now, but apparently you haven’t noticed. We are at war, which wasn’t the case with Clinton OR Carter.
But I suppose you are living in 1974—or 1944 given your purloined moniker.

It amuses me when people can’t discern a cause-and-effect relationship. While we didn’t have attacks on the U.S. homeland when the two Cs were in office, that really doesn’t matter. Using your logic, you’d establish a cause-and-effect relationship between Clinton receiving a Lewinsky and an absence of attacks on U.S. Soil.
The fact is we’ve interrupted multiple attacks on U.S. soil. Here are TWENTY thwarted terrorist attacks since 9/11:
December 2001, Richard Reid: British citizen attempted to ignite shoe bomb on flight from Paris to Miami. May 2002, Jose Padilla: American citizen accused of seeking dirty bomb, convicted of conspiracy. September 2002, Lackawanna Six: American citizens of Yemeni origin convicted of supporting Al Qaeda. Five of six were from Lackawanna, N.Y. May 2003, Iyman Faris: American citizen charged with trying to topple the Brooklyn Bridge. June 2003, Virginia Jihad Network: Eleven men from Alexandria, Va., trained for jihad against American soldiers, convicted of violating the Neutrality Act, conspiracy. August 2004, Dhiren Barot: Indian-born leader of terror cell plotted bombings on financial centers. images). August 2004, James Elshafay and Shahawar Matin Siraj: Sought to plant bomb at New Yorks Penn Station during the Republican National Convention. August 2004, Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain: Plotted to assassinate a Pakistani diplomat on American soil. June 2005, Father and son Umer Hayat and Hamid Hayat: Son convicted of attending terrorist training camp in Pakistan; father convicted of customs violation. August 2005, Kevin James, Levar Haley Washington, Gregory Vernon Patterson and Hammad Riaz Samana: Los Angeles homegrown terrorists who plotted to attack National Guard, LAX, two synagogues and Israeli consulate. December 2005, Michael Reynolds: Plotted to blow up refinery in Wyoming, convicted of providing material support to terrorists. February 2006, Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi and Zand Wassim Mazloum: Accused of providing material support to terrorists, making bombs for use in Iraq. April 2006, Syed Haris Ahmed and Ehsanul Islam Sadequee: Cased and videotaped the Capitol and World Bank for a terrorist organization. June 2006, Narseal Batiste, Patrick Abraham, Stanley Grant Phanor, Naudimar Herrera, Burson Augustin, Lyglenson Lemorin, and Rotschild Augstine: Accused of plotting to blow up the Sears Tower. July 2006, Assem Hammoud: Accused of plotting to hit New York City train tunnels. August 2006, Liquid Explosives Plot: Thwarted plot to explode ten airliners over the United States. May 2007, Fort Dix Plot: Six men accused of plotting to attack Fort Dix Army base in New Jersey. June 2007, JFK Plot: Four men accused of plotting to blow up fuel arteries underneath JFK Airport in New York. March 2007, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: Mastermind of Sept. 11 and author of numerous plots confessed in court in March 2007 to planning to destroy skyscrapers in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Again, libs don’t even acknowledge much less appreciate that these attempted attacks were thwarted—and these are the ones about which we are aware.
Ain’t wasting any more time on you miscreants.

By Churchill ..I think the 1st World Trade Center bombing was on Clinton’s watch. Are you trying to say that all parties of the 1st bombing are in jail while Bin Laden is out having a good time.

Whatever little chance Goddard had of winning has just went out the window. The fact that bush is holding the fundraiser in a safe republican enclave north of Atlanta says it all. Prediction: Marshall 58% Goddard 42%.

By Churchill……I didn’t figure that you had posted anti-Bush stuff.. I had the same problem with my name being used by some of those know nothing college LIBERALS that support Chambliss. They didn’t even know about his anti Vet, anti Georgia voting record. Too bad we don’t have a Goldwater running so they would know what a REAL CONSERVATIVE is.
