On the Roads Across Georgia with Sue Everhart, GA GOP Chairman
and Candidate for Re-election
Some friends of Sue arrived in high style at the Cherokee RW sponsored debate.
However, Sue drove her same old Trailblazer.
Sue Everhart, GA GOP Chairman and Candidate for re-election has been on the road almost constantly visiting County Republican Parties, Republican Women groups and other events. Her most recent visits have been to Jackson County Republican party debate, Cherokee County Republican women debate, Conservative Republican Women in Gwinnett County, 9th District Convention Banquet in Cumming, 6th District Convention, Rockdale Republican Party, Savannah Republican Women, Fayetteville GOP and State Committee Meeting. There have been many other events, also, but no photos for those. Please visit Sue's NEWS Page for photos and information on these exciting events.

In case you missed this exciting news. . . These were the only districts which conducted straw polls. However, we have heard from other districts which did not do the polls stating that Sue appeared to be very much in the lead

At all of the debates both of Sue's opponents keep hammering the fact that they are both on the cutting edge of IT while Sue is not. They believe that our next chairman must be an IT specialist. Duh? Please take a look at www.gagop.org and also Sue's state of the art weekly newsletters to Georgia Republicans -- View here This does not look like the work of an amateur.
I agree 100% with Steve Handel's remark. "I want my GOP Chair to have integrity and to represent the grassroots. I want a grassroots chairman -- not an IT director. That's why for me: Sue's the one! "
In addition, I also want a Chairman with Republican experience at all levels. There is no substitute for Republican experience with the huge success record of Sue Everhart as our GOP Chairman! VRG webmaster.Upcoming Chairman Events -- click here

Senate Majority Whip Cecil Staton of Macon steps down from leadership post after being linked to possibly nonexistent female activist with hilarious name
Posted by Thomas Wheatley on Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 3:23 PM
Remember this from March 31? Read below. . .
Erick Erickson had a GREAT deal to say about this Senate problem on his WSB radio show on Thursday evening, March 31. He said Republicans had joined Democrats to try to take back power for Lt. Governor and to vote in favor of taxes on groceries (?) services, etc. Does Erickson really know what he is talking about? He even named some of the Republicans who voted with the Democrats: Senators Bill Hamrick, Jim Butterworth, Frank Ginn, Steve Gooch, Butch Miller, Jeff Mullis, Jack Murphy and Renee Unterman.
Read article by Erickson:
▪ 14 Georgia Republicans Join The Democrats In A CoupSo glad that Erickson was proven wrong today - April 12, 2011. Perhaps WSB radio should be reminded of this rant by Erickson who replaced our all time favorite Herman Cain on the 7 p.m. time slot. Don't think that Herman would ever have done this. It does seem a coincidence that Erickson and Senator Cecil Staton are both from Macon. . . ? VRG editor
Read more about this crazy story on Bill Simon's recent PV
CC: "Beth Merkleson"
From: Bill Simon, Political Vine
RE: Nice, sleazy hit on Casey...Dear Senator Staton,
Wanted to let you know that the moment I received this e-mail from a Republican operative on Friday, April 1 at 11:30 AM, and the operative had your name on it as someone I should go to to "check" a story for accuracy, I knew the story was false on its face:
"Cagle promised the dems 2 key things if they went along with this counter coup:
1. He pledged to give dems 2 more committee chairmanships
2. Worse, he promised to redraw the maps to give them 2-4 more seats: grant, cowsert, bulloch, and millar's seats. Not hard to redraw them to make them lean dem.
Its one thing to have a battle over power internally. Its something entirely different to sell out your own party to gain power.
Didn't hear this from me, but check in with cecil. He can confirm this."
Yeahhh, here's the thing, Cecil: I know from a long history of knowing who you are that you are one of the sleaziest state senators this state has. I think it dates back to the time you ran against Phil Gingrey for Congress and all the made-up, sleazy garbage your campaign tried to sling at Gingrey.
Then, of course, there's the inherent connection you have with (yet) another sleazy Republican by the name of Erick Erickson. Erickson and you are butt-boys from way back when he was your personal attorney, as well as a campaign consultant on some of your races.
Based on Jim Galloway's AJC piece issued this afternoon, it is all coming together nicely that you "wagged" this entire story, beginning with the e-mail first sent to me, then when I refused to go with it, the story was submitted to Blake Aued on OnlineAthens.com, whereupon he published a post at 8:43 PM on April 1...9 hours after the "story" first came to my in-box.
You are busted, Senator Staton. Your entire hit piece against Casey is now exposed for the world to see. "Beth" does not exist. The bullshit Erick Erickson blogged about where he accused other Republican state senators of being "traitors" is now fully exposed to be part of an elaborate scheme to hit Casey and screw your personal enemies in the Republican state senate caucus.
Seriously, what gave it away was the claim by "Beth" that Cagle made deals with Dems to get Dem-leaning seats drawn for them via redistricting. Anyone with a freaking clue KNOWS that one person CANNOT draw any kind of legislative map and have it pass the entire Senate, the House, or the Governor's desk with an approval if it is deliberately drawn in such a way.
"Beth's" other comments about the "traitors" being "promised powerful positions of leadership on committees" also was a dead giveaway as some of the major ones you cited already HAVE "powerful positions" on committees. You're an idiot.
While you are the main one who was easily exposed here, I suspect Tommie Williams (and, perhaps even the Majority Leader) also had a hand in creating elements of this story. That "tip" given by Williams to Pat Tippett last week is a dead giveaway that Tommie was intricately involved in this story's fabrication.
You're a damn fool. Do the right thing. Resign from the state senate. You're a disgrace.

▪ Performance trumps seniority for teachers in House vote
By April Hunt and Nancy Badertscher April 11, 2011
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Could this possibly be true -- at long last? Just wait until the teacher's unions find out about this
Seniority would no longer shield teachers from layoffs under legislation approved by the Georgia House on Monday, April 11
Senate Bill 184 passed 141-29, and once the Senate signs off on minor changes, it will head to Gov. Nathan Deal to sign. The measure would require local school systems to use teacher performance as the primary factor when deciding layoffs. Length of service can be considered only after performance, as defined by each school district.▪ House agrees to give Deal power to remove APS board members
This one sort of scares me since already we are seeing signs of our new governor over using his power -- as seen in his trying to take over the GA GOP. -- VRG Editor

Atlas Shrugged, Part 1 - coming to theaters on April 15
click above to enlargeHow long do we have? (author unknown) History has shown that democracies do not survive as a permanent form of government. Rather, they flourish until enough voters learn that unearned benefits can be had from the public treasury. From then on, the majority will vote for politicians who promise the most free benefits. When that happens, the entire system is destined to collapse under the weight of unsustainable fiscal policy. Democracies evolve through the following sequences on the way to eventual demise:
From bondage to spiritual faith - From spiritual faith to great courage - From great courage to liberty - From liberty to abundance - From abundance to complacency -From complacency to apathy - From apathy to dependence - From dependence to bondage
With a significant percentage of America’s population having already reached the dependency stage, the American experiment is perilously close to the final stage of democratic evolution.

▪ Proposal to let Deal School remove Atlanta school board could face lawsuit
By April Hunt and Christopher Quinn - AJCLetter from a long time and loyal GA Republican
The following is a letter written by Ritch McCutchen of Crisp County, Georgia to the Political Vine in response to the 04-02-2011 edition...and, it simply speaks for itself. If the profanity disturbs you, then you should really not be in politics as a LOT other things are way more disturbing than the language Ritch used to communicate his thoughts herein.
Dear PV,
Lets get real with the Republican faithful. Last Saturday I attended the State Committee meeting in Fayetteville. I have been on the State Committee for 19 years but my Republican efforts go much back longer than that.
I was privileged to work on the Nixon vs. Kennedy election in 1960. The workings of that election are well known and we did not have a chance because then, as now, the RNC was a worthless bunch and with Reince Preibus as Chair of the RNC we do not have a chance of beating Obama because he has gotten approval to have the Republican primary extended to not before April 1, 2012. Any state's Republican Party that decides to go against this will lose half their delegates at the national convention.
Sue Everhart led the challenge to this and when she went into the RNC meeting, she had the votes to beat it, confirmed by Linda Herren last Saturday. Four of the votes defected to Preibus so we have to live with it or lose half of our delegates. Obama is going to beat the shit out of us because our Preibus on a grade of 1 to 10 is about a minus 6.
In the 52 years that I have been electing Republicans, Sue Everhart is the only chairman that has ever returned my phone call and I go back to Fred Cooper's chairmanship and I would bet you that there are not 20 people on the state committee that remember Fred.
Tricia Pridemore has never served in any position that I can remember as a Georgia Republican and I asked everybody at the meeting last Saturday if they knew her and knew of her work. No one did. It really upsets me that Nathan Deal wants to force her on our Party. No-Nuts Nathan did not show up at the State Committee meeting on Saturday either.
I have lost Sue's address so forward this to her today and let her know that all of the Crisp County delegates to the State Convention will vote for her.

GOP sweep named top Ga. story of 2010
Base bails on Democrats in droves

Georgia Democrats enter the upcoming 2011 session of the General Assembly reeling from a series of defections and facing an uphill climb toward relevance. The once-dominant party holds 85 of 236 seats in the House and Senate, Democrats’ lowest ebb since Reconstruction. And the number has been slipping. Read entire article
