There is ALWAYS Time for the National Anthem
Rule 1: There is always time for the National Anthem. Every event should start with a prayer followed by either the National Anthem or the Pledge of Allegiance. Corollary 1 to Rule 1: Everyone should know the words to Star Spangled Banner’s first verse. If you don’t know the words by heart, just look below. Memorize...
Hall County Votes for Higher Property Taxes (Formerly Steve Gailey: The Only Candidate for Hall County Commission Chair)
UPDATE: All the no-tax candidates for county commission lost the election on May 24, 2016. I will post the precinct details as soon as they are available and I have time. In the meantime, next year when you get your property tax bill and it has gone up, just quietly say to yourself “Paul told...
The Other Hall County State Court Candidate Endorsed by Democrat (Not John Breakfield!)
UPDATE: John won the election handily on May 24, 2016. Congratulations to him and his family who all worked so hard during the election. As I said in the original post, I have no doubt that Judge Breakfield will make us all proud. I found a link today where a Michelle Jones is officially “endorsing”...
Republican Convention Better Live?
I have to admit an almost complete lack of interest in the RNC this year. No doubt like hockey, soccer and lacrosse, it is a sport you have to see in person to really “get.” Ironic that the RNC chose enemy controlled territory to hold the Convention. Another example of Republicans missing the obvious....
![(R)eal (R)epublican Platform [Updated]](https://i0.wp.com/epaulstanley.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/elephant_foot_orig_full_sidebar.jpeg?resize=290%2C290 "(R)eal (R)epublican Platform [Updated]")
(R)eal (R)epublican Platform [Updated]
The Republican “platform” being developed at the National Convention in Tampa as of this writing, is a key part of what defines a candidate as a Republican. Unfortunately, many candidates and officials just don’t know the platform, or they simply don’t live it. However, many disparate groups are all there trying to get their word...
The (R)eal (R)epublican Voter Guide – Runoff 2012 [UPDATED Results]
Well in Hall County there are several races to vote on during the Runoff on August 21, 2012. These races are the 9th Georgia Congressional District, Hall County Sheriff, Hall County Commission Chairman, Hall County Probate Judge, and Hall County Tax Commissioner. Here are my voter recommendations for the Runoff 2012. [Voters decided with me...
Rumor: Hall County Commission Districts Incorrect in Primary
These allegations are in addition to the previously report issues involving voters properly listed in the right district that were simply given the wrong “ballot.” According to my sources, Brian Kemp, Georgia Secretary of State, is still investigating.
“Proud” Democrats Disrupting Republican Primaries
Look who was voting in the Republican Primary on Friday, August 17, 2012 in Gainesville (in a Prius of course)! Proof certain that Democrats will continue to interfere in Republican politics until Republicans do something about it. For an example, look what happened to State Rep Doug McKillip (R-Athens) in his recent primary state house...
Collins Send out RoboCalls Against Zoller on Social Issues (audio)
Just got this on my voice mail from the Collins camp. To go this negative in this way makes me think that the poll numbers are bad for Doug and its now “no holds barred.” Georgian’s don’t like this kind of negative attack ad, however. And this is all the audio that I received, so...
Georgia 9th Congressional Debate: Who’s the Liar?
The “L” word was used a LOT last night during the debate. Not the one from the TV show, but the word “liar.” I think it is an ugly word and should be reserved for extreme situations. Apparently Doug and Martha both disagree with me. The video follows. I really like the format of...
(R)eal (R)epublican Voter Guide – Primary 2012
Unlike other pundits, I make no apologies for my opinion. The difference between me and the mainstream media is that here you can tell what is opinion. All that follows is my personal opinion about political figures engaged in contested elections for office. Everything I discuss is about relevant attributes of the candidates or their...
The Republican Brand Under Attack (Part 2)
No good deed goes unpunished. I started this project to help make the process fair and equitable. I should have known better. Corruption hates fairness. In every campaign there are the public issues and the “dirt” or gossip that the candidates (or their supporters) spread person-to-person. Dirt like this is usually not relevant to the...
