Rep Tom Price On Healthcare

By Danny Garner | 01/07/09

Rep Tom Price (GA-6), a doctor himself, has an article in today's Wall St. Journal about Republicans and healthcare in America. Now the only part that will get any attention is going to be the first paragraph and the rest of the article will go unnoticed.Perhaps the greatest missed opportunity of the past eight years was the chance for Republicans to fundamentally reform the terribly broken American health-care system. Access to quality health... read more »

Representative Phil Gingrey Is Listening

By Danny Garner | 01/06/09

Representative Phil Gingrey (GA-11) might, maybe, just maybe is listening to the folks back home.   This weekend I attended an event with the Cobb County Republican Party and Mr Gingrey was in attendance. One of the main topics of discussion among those who where present, and the turnout was good for a foggy Saturday, was all of the unrestrained federal spending in the form of bailouts.   Apparently Mr Gingrey must have gotten the... read more »

Clayton County Has A New Sheriff

By Danny Garner | 01/02/09

This guy, Kem Kimbrough, sounds like the real deal and something that is badly needed in the most dysfunctional county in Georgia. His predecessor, Victor Hill, was a complete joke and I hope the people of Clayton have elected somebody who will finally get to work restoring confidence in at least one sector of their local government.They still have to deal with the loss of accreditation of their school system, and the guy they hired for that job... read more »

Metro Atlanta Transportation Needs Top Priority

By Danny Garner | 01/01/09

Quite often I write about the traffic and transportation woes in the metro Atlanta area, and it is with good reason. In the past the discussion always revolved around building more highways as an answer to resolve our traffic congestion in the Atlanta area with very little attention paid to other considerations.One thing the recent spike in oil prices did was to introduce people in this area to mass transit. The term mass transit has always... read more »

By Danny Garner | 12/29/08

US Representative David Scott (D-GA), could just as easily be (D-CA), is sending out his end of the year, "hey look at me" newsletter.This one is especially ironic in that first he brags about and then lists all of the earmarks he got for his district and then in a touching personal message talks about how much the Democrat led congress has done for us especially in regards to the implementation a "pay as you go" program for the budget. He goes... read more »

By Danny Garner | 12/28/08

A recent story on our Atlanta Journal Constitution, AJC, headlined a story this way. Middle class in Georgia fits into Obama's plans Census numbers show income gap growing as the middle shrinksThe story tries to paint a picture of how the middle class is struggling in Georgia, just as it is elsewhere and it uses arbitrarily picked numbers to make it's case.For instance it chooses those making more then $200,000 and then jumps to... read more »

Is Corruption Just Hardcoded Into Democrat DNA?

By Danny Garner | 12/22/08

By now we are getting just a little bit tired of all the stories at all levels of government involving Democrats and their corruption. From Chris Dodd and his Countrywide deals, to Charlie Rangel who is tax law impaired, to the Ohio attorney general, who is a double dipper, to any Illinois politician you care to name and of course here on the local level we have state legislators and now comes word of city council members in Atlanta that are... read more »
