According to an Associated Press article that appeared today in the online version of the Macon Telegraph, a supporter of Taylor has sued Peter Jackson for defamation. The Cox campaign's response? "Another day, another frivolous lawsuit." I am not personally making any judgment about the merits of the man's case. I do note that the Taylor Campaign has itself already sued Cox over the open records request. And, according to the article, the supporter is represented by the Taylor Campaign lawyer, Lee Parks. Is that a coincidence?
I am not attracted to litigious campaigns. Some candidates consider running into the courtroom an acceptable campaign tactic. I think for most voters, it's a turn-off. We see what happens when courts decide elections. His name is "W." And he is still the President.

Election By Litigation?

Yes it's funny how some people get very selective in their observations of an opponent's voting record. Look at what Cathy did for HOPE over the long haul. Amy's posted it here not once, not twice, but THREE times. Wonder why she never gets any responses to that? Probably because it slams the case shut on Cathy's record of support of HOPE.
What I want to know from this point forward is what our candidates intend to do to MOVE FORWARD. That's all I'm interested in. And I want to know what each one wants to do with education in general. Cox has a plan for education. I can go right to her web site and get it. It's a tangible thing. I can see it, read it, print it out, and touch it if I want. I'm hoping that her opponent will get around to doing the same thing. Because HOPE doesn't mean a darn thing if Georgia continues to be a leader in drop outs, contintues to underfund rural school systems, overload teachers with administrative duties taking time away from instruction time, and the list goes on.
It would be nice to see folks adding to the conversation, not continuing the distractions that have seemed to prevail during this campaign. It's destructive. Some solid discussion of Cox's plan or something that Taylor has said about education would be much more CONstructive. After all, the frustration with distractions all ties into Amy's original post.
Possum, you'd have to be asleep to miss the mess that Sonny's made. We may fuss with each other over Cox and Taylor, but for the most part, we will be together after July 18th and turn our attention to the real opposition- Perdue. We'll have plenty to say about the mess he's made. Let's see, increased secrecy in government, a virtual blank check for developers, law afte law that costs the state money because they can't pass constitutional muster. I have an idea. Why don't we just make all the laws part of the constitution, that way we can avoid these little snags. I probably shouldn't say that- some idiot will think it's a good idea!
