Figuring out Speaker David Ralston’s political philosophy is like putting together a puzzle but the pieces don’t match the picture on the box. Case in point on education.In May “the way it should be” done is by having local school boards sort out their allotment of money. After all, the decent Speaker from Blue Ridge
I find it very interesting that Georgia’s elected leaders are so up in arms about Jason Spencer displaying his bare behind on Showtime. This sudden shock at his rhetoric on television is in complete contravention with the Georgia legislature’s tacit refusal to get rid of an antiquated Georgia law protecting the monuments to the traitorous
The primary season is now officially over. David Shafer, in an email to supporters, has indicated he will not seek the recount he is legally entitled to, and says “it is time to unite behind our Republican nominees.” His full email is as follows: The Good Lord has a plan for each one of us.

It’s no secret that I’m a big David Shafer fan and supporter, so last night was hard. Those of us watching the results come in knew it was going to be tight, but we didn’t think we would end up drawing the short straw. Former State Representative Geoff Duncan will become the Republican nominee, but
