The below is from Allan Burns. He is running against John Linder in GA-7. In case you have forgotten about him, Linder is the guy who told an elderly woman she had no excuse for being afraid to sign up for Medicare Part D. He also told a Pakistani-American who's son has been deployed to Iraq TWICE that if he had a problem with America's image in the world to go talk to Osama bin Laden.

Linder abuses his power, is a bully and does not care about his constituents. You can read more about what Linder said at his 'Town Hall' meeting here...

Cross posted at >Southern Democrats

Rep. John Linder R-GA7 held a 'Town Meeting' last night in Lawrenceville, Georgia. As I walked in, it felt like a Republican pep rally.

He started right in with the 2006 wedge issue - Illegal Immigration. He really got his base fired up with his talk about how the Senate failed to do anything and how he and the Republican House were ready to take on this issue. Now, here in Georgia there are very few people, Democrat or Republican, that want to see illigal immigration taken care of right now. It's just the way that he presents it. Divide and conquer. Us against Them.

I don't know about you but I am sick of the Democratic party being tagged as "Anti-War". I don't think you can find 10 Democrats across the country that think we shouldn't have gone into Afghanistan. That is the war we should be focusing on.

We are against the handling of the Iraq War and the utter failure of foreign policy by this administration. While W and his neocon stooges duped America into believing the real threat was in Iraq, we failed to complete the original mission. CAPTURE OR KILL OSAMA BIN LADEN, crush al-Qaeda and drive the Taliban out of Afghanistan.

As I posted a few days ago, the southern caucus at YKOS was great and we needed a place to go on the internet to continue our discussion. People suggested creating yahoo/google groups or a website.

Well, I decided to create my very first blog site called Southern Democrats. I went the easy route and created a 'Quick Blog' account with Go Daddy. I hope it works ok. If we start to get a lot of traffic I will expand this to a full blown web site.

The Southern Caucus at YKOS was very informative and fun!
During the caucus we discussed the desire to stay in touch with each other as a group to communicate our ideas and concerns.

For those southerners that were not able to attend, we touched on religion, abortion and working together with our local parties.

Should we start a yahoo/google group?

I started looking through the pictures I took this weekend. Here are just a few.

I've got quite a few of Governor Dean, Senator Reid, Governor Warner and a bunch of shots of of people with Gov. Warner at his party Friday night. If you are looking for a specific picture I may have it. Just let me know.

I came to YKOS as a representative of the Draft Mark Warner PAC. Like everyone here, I was excited about the opportunity to meet folks and attend some of the workshops as well.

I have read some posts about the event concerning the governor and wanted to provide a different perspective.

Let's start with the party Friday night. If Warner would have provided pizza and beer he would have been blasted for being cheap. I was there taking pictures all night. There were over 500 people present at any given time. They were standing 6 deep to get a picture with Warner or to shake his hand and talk to him. He never did make it all the way around the stratosphere platform. Everyone was having a great time. There was no complaining about the food or drink while you were there.

This was his way of saying THANK YOU to a community he is no doubt courting.

This may not mean much to some folks but I can't recall any Cardinal ever saying this before.

McCarrick, the outgoing Archbishop of Washington DC, was on CNN Situation Room with Blitzer talking about immigration and gay marraige. Read More

I have been very skeptical of Jim Webb and the Virginia Senate race in the past.

My initial judgement of Miller was clouded by the fact that he was a personal friend of Gov. Warner and has been a lifelong Democrat. Harris Miller is no Mark Warner. Not even close. If Mr. Miller was truly conflicted with supporting the outsourcing of jobs he would have resigned his position in the High Tech board.

This past weekend I drove from Atlanta to Baton Rouge. As I got closer to Gulfport, MS. I started to see the remnants of Hurricane Katrina. I traveled Interstate 10 and 12 along the gulf coast.

First I saw the trees, some were bent towards the west while others were twisted or broken in half. Next was the debris; clothes, garbage, linens, stuffed animals, you name it strewn across the countryside and in the trees. Then I saw the billboard signs that had collapsed and a big fishing trawler beached near a bridge at least a half mile from the waterway.

The saddest part was still to come....I saw hundreds of homes in various stages of disrepair just from the freeway. The upper scale homes had temporary tarps on the roofs that were obviously professionally done. The smaller, older homes in other neighborhoods had makeshift repairs from plywood and plastic on the roofs and 2x4's wedged into porches to keep them from collapsing. Read More
