Buy it on Saturday!

Elizabeth Please tell me the difference of buying it on Saturday and having the choice of buying it on Sunday? How does that hurt anything?

Marc...what about speed limits? Do you support them? They are the government telling you how you can drive.

Floyd,
Really? Speed limits? That is a safety issue. That is the purpose of government. Not to interfere in my personal life.

On todays ballet in my area was text about Sunday alcohol sales. The problem was in the wording of the ballet (who comes up with the wording any way).

The wording ask that you give the government the ability to regulate Sunday sales (not if you approved Sunday sales). I voted no out of principal, as I do not think the Gov should have this ability.

Harry. Please do not confuse us Republicans with Conservative Right. As I try not to confuse Democrats with the Progressive far Left.

Marc, you make a good point....pls change republiclones to read conservatwits

Marc, the only problem with that is that the Republican Party has become the party of the far right. Just look at your Presidential candidates. Moderate has become a dirty word, just ask Olympia Snowe.

If you do not vote than you have no room to complain later. Nor should anyone listen to your complaint

You tell 'em Marc. Vote or Sit down and Shut up. It's that simple.

If the republican's are serious about defeating O'Bama then they need to put up better people ... that was my point...

There were more than four eligible people on the ballot. Also, who would you like to see on the ballot that wasn't there? Did you encourage him or her to run for office? None of the candidates that were on the ballot met all of my needs, but for me, I am definitely disappointed in the current administration, and anyone new would be an improvement..

Greg. What really erks me is that churches have tax exempt status. When they step into the political arena they are lobbyists and should be treated as such. Lobbyists do not have tax exempt status. Each time a church is at any political meeting or rally they should have that status pulled.

Greg...I'm sorry...where is seperation of church and state in the constitution?. The whole concept was wrongly created based on a faulty interpretation of a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists in 1806. There's a reason it's not in the Constitution. Read Washington's farewell address (which I recommend for everyone). What were the two pillars he identified? What did he say about patriotism and those pillars?

To Floyd - If there is no separation of church and state in the constitution, then why are they TAX EXEMPT? Because the people want it that way? Think of all the land in the county that are churches, schools or other government facilities that pay no tax. Just remember that the less tax revenue from our small land mass, the more the individual's pays in millage.

Greg, churches and schools often have polling spots. I think it comes down to what's available (in one county there can be tons of polling places), and what has the space and other requirements for polling places, like public access (so not private businesses), handicap accessibility, parking, etc. There have been interesting news articles on the topic and court cases.

Greg...because they are plentiful and available. What's your point? Are you suggesting that the non-existent-in-the-Constitution "separation of church and state" disqualifies a church from being a polling place?

Greg I can take a guess and say that the churches convinced the powers to allow them to be voting centers so their flock would come there to vote and they could passively (and directly) effect their choices.

Marc- you aren't serious about churches using their role as a polling station to influence their flock, are you? Since your polling station is determined by your home address not where you go to church, not every member of a church votes there. I don't vote at my church. Nor does my church- and I am only speaking for my church- try to influence my voting. Churches that do so risk losing their tax-exempt status, as they should.

God's will?

Voting locations are based on the precinct. The issue is, not every precinct has a government facility.

I think if your precinct is assigned to a church and you are uncomfortable with it, you should complain and propose a better alternative with-in your precinct. If everyone in the precinct is comfortable using the church for voting, I don't see how it is any of my business. So far, the two precincts I have voted in used government facilities, a school and the community center.

The choices are what they are. Not making a choice is cowardly and giving others the right to make decisions for you. Would you rather not have the right to vote at all?

Ron Paul is the only one that can beat Obama.

Ronald Reagan with John Wayne as his VP choice could not beat Obama this November....

Lskin,
I truly hope you are wrong but you may be right. Maybe when a candidate is finally chosen, the Rep party will get down to the business of defeating the man that makes Jimmy Carter smile as he will no longer carry the worst President tag.

I find it funny how the Left always seem to blame FOX News for all the problems when they have ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSMBC, HLN and the rest pushing their leberal views. Fox does have a message, its called shared work ecthic by all and earn your keep. Other News Outlets, we need the few to work harder so the rest of us can get the welfare check and depend on governrment for everything..........

It wasn't on the ballot everywhere. For example, in Cobb county, several cities already voted on it, like Smyrna. But, some cities, like Marietta, and the unincorporated areas of Cobb didn't, so they will have it on the ballot today.

to that I fully agree.

Whether you vote conservative or liberal, term limits have to be created. I agree that with the term "professional politicians". When your main goal becomes to get re-elected and not to serve your constituents, you have a serious problem.

So you want a bunch of amateurs running our government? You see how well that's worked out with the Tea Party crowd you elected last cycle. What a bunch of pathetic clowns. Government has never been more gridlocked. The kind of compromise effective governance demands is based on relationships that are developed over time. You wouldn't yank some kid out of the mailroom and make him CEO would you?

I'd have to agree. Every one of these folks needs to get back to their home towns. When the Congress has such deep seated moneymaking routines like Insider Trading being Legal within Congress...its time to get rid of every last One. If you are an incumbent..I vote you Out...except for Obama

Especially a brewsky bought on Sunday!!!

As long as you leave your wife at home.

I did to (10th in line) and was proud to do it!

Go Ron Paul! I am excited to go cast my vote for him as well. As a proud Mexican-American I believe he is the only candidate that can bring back the AMERICAN DREAM that my parents visualized when they immigrated to this country.

In the latest polls Ron Paul is polling better than Obama. He is also the only one with a detailed plan that will actually reduce the debt and cut government spending. While the others will increase it.

I don't disagree Dustin; but I don't think he is a "true" option, just in the sense he is so far behind that he is just making a political statement and an appealing Vice President by staying in here. The reality is it would take a heck of a rally to get him up to the top; it's not happening here in Georgia, and Romney is the only one that would really consider him a running mate. So it's between Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum truly; unless you really believe there can be a last-minute "Ron Paul" rally?

Romney is a liberal. He says he never raised taxes and turned a deficit into a windfall, but the reality is he just raised fee's (another form of tax) on everything in Massachusetts to balance the budget. Look into it...you will see.... An he is the author of Obamacare. As a conservative...he is all about making money off of the backs employees and conserving as much as he can in his pockets while running the business into the gound.

Certainly gets my vote!

The only good Paul would do on the ticket is to draw a few pot smokers and peaceniks away from Obama and would probably turn off just as many independents once his views on civil rights and the role of government is fully vetted.

David, I don't think you understand that the popular vote in a primary is really just a "straw" vote. It's all about the delegates and according to the Ron Paul campaign he is in second, based on delegate count. The delegate count the media uses is an estimate based on the popular vote, not the actual delegates (there is no way for them to know until the convention). Ron Paul has a better chance of winning the nomination than both Newt and Santorum. In fact, them being in the race is helping him.

David, if you like funny lines, the op-ed columnist Gail Collins Wednesday before last wrote something like this: Whew! The 20th GOP debate is over! Now I have watched more hours of Republican debates than I have of "Downton Abbey." Maybe it would be easier to get through those long, drawn-out presentations if Newt Gingrich wore a tuxedo. END QUOTE. I agree with Ms. Collins. When this faux-Georgian finally realizes he's lost (an unexpected double entendre there), maybe BBC will hire him to be one of Lady Grantham's ex-husbands, from Cincinnati even. I think Gingrich could pull it off. He only has to be the straight man for the actress who'll be playing her ladyship's mother this fall -- Shirley MacLaine. We'll see if Newt is so smart that he can outsmart that smart one.

Excuse me, David. It's Grant who likes funny lines. My bad. Sorry......

Funny quote of the day

"Watching the Republican primaries is like watching the US Olympic Marathon Trials, whover wins is just gonna get crushed by the Kenyan in the big race. "

Hahaha...love it!

Grant, I like what one talking head on the TV said a few weeks ago: The eventual GOP nominee will be Mitt Romney. Then Obama is going to beat Romney like a runaway sister-wife!

You're right Darla. AND I am a Christian and totally agree.

Sorry Darla, that will never work. I like peanut butter way too much. But seriously, I agree with you. There are a lot of laws that are passed or thrown out based on beliefs. Some good, some bad. Unfortunately it would take too many people with common sense to figure that out.

If the GOP is destroyed, it will do it all by itself – the so called TeaParty, is just a Doctor delivering a wake up call…

There are a lot of us Christian Republicans that agree that personal choice should be just that. Personal choice. We just get shouted over by the Fundamental Conservative branch of our party. Time to shout back.

Jeffrey Allen, that seems like a really good number, definitely compared to some other places around.

Jeff, that is much higher than I'm hearing in Loganville. Only 375 had voted at the American Legion at 6 p.m.

I COMPLETELY agree with this. Most western nations have multiple parties, and form coalition governments. We do, of course, have more parties, but they never make it to the finish line.

Please understand Mr. Leathers that I, and many of my brethren and sistren?? in the conservative movement have no desire to tell you how to live---other than to get a job and take care of your family. We also believe that the transformation that President Obama is trying to bring about is dangerous and antithetical to freedom, economic growth and a sustainable USA.. As you would have the Republicans keep their noses out of other people's affairs, many Republicans would ask you and yours to not make them pay for the undesirable choices of others. In other words, do what you will--just don't expect others to foot the bill

Bill
The Conservative ,Fundamental movement is making the rest of us Republicans and Libertarians look like fools. Every time the words abortion and homosexuality come out of the candidates mouths, Independents and Moderate Republicans run for cover. You are chasing away the votes that will win the election for the Republicans. The only issues of importance are jobs and the economy. Every thing else is a distraction Obama is happy to help fuel.

Marcel Marceau was the greatest however.

Grant...How right you are! Republican's are such hypocrits! They're for for less government for corporations and business, but want to restrict personal freedoms for the individuals. For business...they want to cut taxes, implement corporate welfare, and give preferential treatment to investment income. For individuals...they want to dictate reproduction (limit access to birth control and if you want an abortion "let me stick my wand up your vagina"), put Christian religion in schools, restrict the ability to sue corporations and doctors, protect price gouging by big pharma, abolish the EPA (remember the pollution of the 60s and 70s?), exploit all of our natural resources (owned by the people), reinstitute child labor (Newt child janitors), and tax the middle class into poverty. Why a non-white, woman, homosexual, transgender, non-Christian, non-rich would vote for them escapes me.

Canton Parent....well said...but also why the poor vote for these people amazes me as well. Republicans call the poor lazy and these people vote Republican all the time. It just shows you the mentality of the voting public. Why Mitt is winning baffles me.

He is part of those who caused the mess we are in today in this country, his company was fined for Medicare Fraud to the tune of 119 million the company that committed the fraud was sold, closed people lost jobs while he made 500k, and he taxed and fee'd Massachusetts into Oblivion...but the sheep just keep piling on the wins for his jackal..go figure!

And that document promising to leave must be certified.

I meant notarized. Sorry.....

Mr. Leathers. I guess I forgot to mention that I am not a member of the GOP. I happen to be voting GOP this election cycle. I am a true libertarian leaning independent and have been for 40 yrs. Matter of fact, if we ever get a libertarian candidate that we can elect, I will vote that way LOL
