The proof will be at the polls and I still maintain that Cox will have a strong populist appeal.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16764566800701618387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-1151540745138903752006-06-28T20:25:00.000-04:002006-06-28T20:25:00.000-04:00Nobody doing this is on the Taylor payroll here, s...Nobody doing this is on the Taylor payroll here, so it shouldn't matter. I support Taylor openly, are you going to say that because I may volunteer for the Taylor campaign and sometimes post from a Taylor computer that it is Unethical? The only thing I see unethical here is Cathy Cox's flip-flop behavior on the voter ID bill, gay marriage, and the purchase of Diebold voting machines.SkylerAkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131407644899483346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-1151356311614399002006-06-26T17:11:00.000-04:002006-06-26T17:11:00.000-04:00As you're suggesting, in the end, the name of the ...As you're suggesting, in the end, the name of the game is "Beat Perdue." And I'll dance with the one that the people elect on July 18th. I don't like Mark Taylor. But I care more about improving education, preserving HOPE, and advancing social causes like mental health issues and gay rights than I dislike Taylor. And he'll better represent me than Sonny Perdue will - as his first 4 yours have suggested. So even though I'm solidly in Cox's corner. I am aware of what is to come.<BR/><BR/>This is not Georgia 1996, it's Georgia 2006. Politically speaking, there's a world of difference in politics now and then. If we care about our issues and if we care about electing Democrats, then we're going to have work together eventually. We're the underdogs now. I'm hoping that the majority of Taylor folks feel the same way.Button Gwinnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435875008430423570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-1151355061192095222006-06-26T16:51:00.000-04:002006-06-26T16:51:00.000-04:00Button: I admit that it is hard to be objective w...Button: I admit that it is hard to be objective when so much seems to be at stake. And it's tough when my Republican friends are sitting back laughing at us, reveling in the fact that we may fail to nominate their greatest threat. I am trying to imagine the legislation that will flow forth if the Republican machine has it's way. I was talking with someone this morning who said that we all have to realize that we are not facing a Georgia stragtegy- this is a national republican agenda, AKA Rove. If I thought Mark had a prayer against Perdue, I would be his cheerleader right now! But, I will try harder...Amy Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788827541049928217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-1151353436680605142006-06-26T16:23:00.000-04:002006-06-26T16:23:00.000-04:00Amy and Mel, P.I's. ;-) That's good stuff, but as...Amy and Mel, P.I's. ;-) That's good stuff, but as you said actual proof wasn't necessary. The sincere people on the blogosphere are those that are not afraid to be critical of even the candidate that they support. I know it's hard for many of us to be objective. But if you never let ANY objectivity show, then you're revealing yourself to be less than sincere. And frankly, exchanging ideas with those people is just a waste of time. Besides you, Amy, Fall Line, etc. do a fine enough job without me.<BR/><BR/>And I've pulled back mainly for the reason you just stated. We will all have to be on the same side after July 18th because I don't like the odds of our primary winner prevailing in Nov. at this point. Two months ago, I was very optimistic about Cox's chances to beat Perdue. And she still might. But her campaign is going to have show a lot more focus than it has shown since Brilliant had to leave.Button Gwinnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435875008430423570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-1151345583725862412006-06-26T14:13:00.000-04:002006-06-26T14:13:00.000-04:00I generally agree Ed, but at one point Cox support...I generally agree Ed, but at one point Cox support among the netroots was much stronger than now. After the gay marriage fiasco, we lost some of our best voices.<BR/><BR/>And yes, as I said, there are no votes here.MelGXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044335268513548498noreply@blogger.com
