Where in Georgia are yall?

[NightWatcher]

I know that we have a large group from the Atlanta/North Georgia area, but where else is everybody?

I'm down on the coast in Savannah.

:hi:

[bunkerbuster1]

1. Dumber-than-a-bag-'o-rocks Gwinnett

where our last county commissioner once claimed that "Growth is duh engine what drives our county!"

They apparently don't believe in having a Plan B in case, you know, the "growth" were ever to stop.

Not all are stupid. 90 thousand actually voted for Kerry in the last election, although you'd never know it to read our Gwinnett Daily Post, wherein their idea of a "liberal columnist" is David Fucking Broder.

2. Gwinnett

THe GDP is a real piece-of-crap paper. My fave columnist in that rag is Nate McCullough (sp?)...

:eyes:

[bunkerbuster1]

7. Big Nate's got some issues with brown folk and the ACLU

I've wanted to like the guy, but jeez...

This brilliant blogger-guy put it well here, methinks:

and here

[XanaDUer]

15. Ha!

I've seen Nate's picture, and it seems like he is getting more than his fair share of fast food, despite the language barrier.

Besides being a piece of shite, the GDP has rotten service, and is not fit to line a birdcage.

[bunkerbuster1]

16. oy, it's horrible.

No discussion of the GDP's (literally) local yokels can be complete without mentioning the magnificent stupidity that is Darrell Huckabee and Dick Yarborough. It's hard to get through a single paragraph from either of these columnists without wincing.

[CottonBear]

25. The Athens-Banner Herald runs Darrell and Dick's columns. Dick is an idiot.

:(

[bunkerbuster1]

28. I wonder how often these daily rags get any flack from publishing these hacks?

I really do wonder, sometimes, if a dick like Dick continues to draw his (surely meagre) columnist fee simply because nobody really complains.

Sometimes when I read a hoary old rag like the Gwinnett Daily Post I almost feel like it's shooting fish in a barrel to criticize their crappy little editorial page; I figure the paper can't be doing all that well financially and it's probably going to collapse in a heap soon anyway.

then a dick like Dick calls you and me "liberal weenies" and I want to punch the mofo in the kisser...

[RubyDuby in GA]

26. We get them too in the Covington News

My very peaceful husband would like to punch Darell Asshat in the face.

I'd happily pay his bail.

[bunkerbuster1]

29. I'll go halfsies on the bail...

no, wait. That Would Be Wrong.

[CottonBear]

11. Hi XanaDUer!

:hi: Let's meet up in Athens sometime in the new year!

[XanaDUer]

14. Hey!

Sounds good, let us know. NOt much new here...

[Papagoose]

3. Polk County

Not many Democrats out here on the Alabama border.

[chelaque liberal]

4. Barrow County, just east of Gwinnett

We moved here for a job in Gwinnett County and didn't want a long commute. It was after we were here that I learned that Barrow was the county that was sued to remove the Ten Commandments from the court house. I haven't read the Gwinnett paper but it can't be worse than the Barrow News. We have a free 6 month subscription that I don't bother looking at anymore.

I'm glad to know that there are a few DU'ers in this neck of the woods. I'd love to meet; it gets lonely out here.

[RubyDuby in GA]

5. Barrow has a brand new Democratic Party

They meet on Monday nights. Contact Beth Smith at [e-mail]
She's the new Chair. She's very energetic and really committed to building the party out there.

:)

[chelaque liberal]

9. Thanks, I emailed her.

[CottonBear]

12. I'm close by over in Athens-Clarke County!

We DUers from Athens, Barrow and Gwinnett should meet up here in Athens sometime! I'll make the arrangements!

It's easier than driving to Atlanta (although I've done that too because our great Atlanta area DUers are over there!) XanaDUer and her SO, MGKrebs & Caspar (from Atlanta) and I and several other DUers all met up in Athens a while back.

:hi:

6. Covington (Newton County)

Redneck, stupid Republican heaven.

13. Hi Ruby!

How was the Edwards event in Atlanta? (I was sick and the weather was awful so I did not make it to Atlanta.)

[RubyDuby in GA]

23. Hey there!

The Edwards event was great! The room was full. And Edwards nearly tripped over Carter when he was leaving. He had to reach down to stop Carter from falling over (Edwards turned around really quickly and came dashing through a spot where Carter and another little girl about his age were playing off to the side). He just reached down and put his hand on Carter's head to stop him from falling down - just like any father would. :)

[DNichols]

75. Ah Ha!!

Came to your reply and felt like I'd been hit with a power line!Stunning horse, Standard bred? I moved down here from Middleburg Va.I worked for Jan and Joesph at Paperchase Farms.Jans dad is "Big Al".Owns USA today newspaper.Good people!
I see by your profile that you are also of the Equine.O moved down here to care for my Mother.Horseless for now.I used to grump about getting up at 4:30am to feed,clean stalls and turn out my horses before going to Paperchase, before dawn, to manage 60 more!The snow!!!Blankets on everybody...Give my eye teeth for it now. :-)

I know a lot of blue folk 'round those parts.

Check yer DU email...

Been living here for the past almost 3 yrs...and really love it here.

[chelaque liberal]

39. Weren't you in caught in a hurricane?

If I remember correctly....There was a lot of concern about you here. I'm really glad to know there was a good outcome.
Do you ever get to the Atlanta area?

[murray hill farm]

40. Yes, that was me...

hurricane wilma when I lived in Mexico. I moved to Brunswick just a few monthes later. I am a long way from Atlanta, but my son lives in Stockbridge for now (he just retired from the army). I usually get up there about once a year, but he much prefers to come here to be on the coast...and he is thinking about relocating to Jacksonville now. Sooooooo, in answer to your question, I rarely get up to Atlanta.

[BooScout]

41. Near Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom

But I am originally from Decatur and moved to the UK a couple of years ago. I pop in here to see what's going on back in the hood.

talk about being in the middle of a pond of snakes....oh yeah. It's lonely being a democrat in Forsyth County, but I have high hopes for GA going blue.

:hi:

[napi21]

91. Hey, I'm here in Hall Cty! I don't know where you are in Forsyth but

if you are in the southern part we could be just across the pond (Lake Lanier) from you. I know how yu feel though about being surrounded by Pubs
! We've lived here for 10+ years & the only time I've met any Dems was when we had Dean Meetups when he was running for Prez. We grew the group prez. We grew the group prety large at our meeings in Gainesville but the majority of people were scattered all across North Ga. There are a couple of Dems in Four Seasons sub division too, and EVERYONE we met at these meetups were GREAT!

[recovering democrat]

50. Newnan

I had not seen this earlier, so decided I would update anyway. We moved to Newnan from Clayton County a year ago, and it is genuinely an example of going from blue to red in one easy lesson.

I am assured there are local Democratic candidates to run against Westmoreland but nobody knows much (or they aren't saying because the Republicans control everything). We even have two Republicans running against each other to be the county Coroner!

Anyway I came to the Georgia forum to find somewhere to bitch about Vernon Jones and I am going to go to the Senate campaign update post and follow up there.

Sincerely hope we make some progress in Georgia this year. (by the way, Jones would not, in my opinion, be "progress".)

[RubyDuby in GA]

51. Stephen Camp

This is the guy running for the 3rd District. http://www.stephencampforcongress.com/

Definitely get involved! Be the change and all that jazz...

Also, check out www.tondeestavern.com for a great place to bitch about Vernon.

58. I live in Stone Mountain, in an incredibly blue neighborhood.

I just donated to Stephen Camp's campaign, even though I'm not in his district and I'm financially strapped due to recent unemployment.
I donated just now 'cause Mr. Camp's opponent, incumbent Rethuglican idiot Lynn Westmoreland referred to Obama as "uppity." What a moran.
