Bad news. Hope his successor carries on fervently.
All around good guy and a conservative to boot.The big daddy of the FAIR TAX.Ask anyone in Georgia over 40 and they know the Fair Tax.So know we educate the youth about it as they become politically aware.
I believe it is in this still very upper-middle class and largely conservative district.
Sounds like John and his buddy Neal are going to retire and park all of their money offshore before Obama gets a hold of it.
Watch for Neal to retire, due to ‘medical’ reasons very soon. Send him a housewarming gift for the new place in Florida since he doesn’t live GA anymore.
Neal ?
Boortz
they are good buddies
Thanks and I agree, it is viral.
24 years in D.C. is too much (12+12)...that’s more than a generation. No career politicians...the @$$hats need to go home and get real jobs in the private sector.
How about Herman Cain?
Absolutely not! John Linder represents my district. His voting record is stellar. He also is the prime motive force behind "Fair Tax".
Sure, why not ? But I’d be surprised if he went for it.
I don’t think that Herman Cain lives in that district.
A name that has come up is John Smoltz, pitcher for the Atlanta Braves.
I don’t think so, either. But Herman Cain lives in suburban Atlanta, and his radio show is heard throughout the GA-07, so he would hardly qualify as a carpetbagger.
By the way, John Smoltz lives outside the district (Alpharetta in Fulton County), wants to pitch in the Majors this year, didn’t handle his 2007 divorce as one would have expected, and is the most overrated pitcher of the past 40 years. I have no reason to doubt that Smoltz is conservative, but I would be surprised if he were interested in running this year and if someone that currently lives outside the GA-07 should get the nomination it should be Herman Cain, not John Smoltz.
I hate losing one of the good ones.
Me too. I felt a real loss when Senator Paul Coverdell died. He was a really nice man and a truely great Statesman.
I used to read Boortz’s site back in 2002, I remember he spent a lot of time cheerleading for Linder and the fair tax and hated Barr for the war on drugs, how ironic Barr latter flipflopped on that issue.
I hope Mr. Barr isn’t interested in either a libertarian or GOP run. He could still be in Congress if he wanted but he chose to run against Linder for the safe seat rather than what was really his redrawn seat (won and still held by Phil Gingrey). I lost respect for him then.
As for Smoltz, you don’t need stunt casting for a safe seat. And he’d have to beat down elected officials. I don’t see it happening.
It would be nice if Cain ran. I can find no articles as of yet that mention him as a possible candidate.
ESPN’s Buster Olney Tweeted that Smoltz said that he was surprised by that article and tgat he’s not considering running in the GA-07.
Here’s the link to the Tweet about Smoltz not running: http://mobile.twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/9789657291
