COUNT 1: If you call yourself a Republican, then one would presume you support Republicans. Perdue is the first REPUBLICAN Governor EVER in Georgia history. He also votes the "right way" on Republican issues 90% of the time. They OPPOSE him, yet they support all the previous DEMOCRAT governors such as Maddox, Carter, Busbee, Harris, Miller, Barnes, etc.
They're free to call themselves "conservative", that doesn't make it so (voting for pro-abortion, tax-and-spend racist bigot Robert Byrd clones doesn't make one "conservative") The "Log Cabin Republicans" similarly profess to be die-hard "conservatives" (especially "fiscal conservatives"), yet they similarly attack Republican incumbents (President Bush) but have nothing but praise for DEMOCRATS. You know what that makes them? RINOs.
Of course, by your standards, they CALL themselves "conservative", so that makes it true!
>> Gov. Perdue pledged to support a referendum on the 56 flag - after election he caved on the issue. <<
POINT 2: Since I never said anything about a referendum of the 1956 flag, I can't see how I "lied" about this issue. I did say Perdue's new flag incorporates the ACTUAL FLAG OF THE CONFEDERACY from 1861 , so if someone REALLY wanted "confederate hertiage", they'd be more than pleased. Instead, they are upset that he didn't include the 1956 flag (gee, I must have missed where the history books said the CSA existed in 1956), which is best known as being erected by a DEMOCRAT governor of the state the capitol solely to protest the desegregation of Georgia schools.
If they like the 1956 flag better than the ACTUAL confederate flag of 1861, I'd say the only "hertiage" they're looking to preserve is the one-party RAT rule of Georgia in the 1950s.
>> No one that I know is interested in electing dims to office, conservatives yes. <<
COUNT 3: Gee, if you think I'm "lying" that a bunch of Georgia "conservatives" have openly endorsed Dems, you must not visit this threads much that proclaim yourself an expert on. Here's one to look over for starters: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1350646/posts The creator of this thread, "GeorgiaConservative", openly endorses Max Cleland, DEMOCRAT, to "replace" Sonny Perdue. He then finds little support for Marxist Dim Cleland (maybe he though Zell Miller's endorsement of Perdue would convince us to vote for him), so he switches strategies and recommends Mark Taylor, another DEMOCRAT, for Governor. Lastly, he suggests Cathy Cox (yup, yet another DEMOCRAT) for Governor. This is just one example of such a thread. You should see the RIP Lester Maddox thread, where plenty of "conservatives" swoon over the former DEMOCRAT governor (who only won the RAT primary because Republicans crossed over thinking the Robert Byrd clone would be easy to defeat in the general -- and he was defeated but the RAT legislature installed him anyway). I'm not even going to get into all the threads where other Georgia "conservatives" proudly promote and ENDORSE such DEMOCRATS as Carl Sanders, Sam Nunn ("wants your gun"), Jimmy Carter, Denise Majette, Roy Barnes, Zig Zag Zell Miller, Richard Russell, etc. Their excuse is the era of one-party Democrat rule was full of "true conservatives". You're calling me a liar? How else would you explain their fawning over every "D" elected to statewide office to Georiga over the last 50 years?
>> You did have it correct that the Barnes rag was a 'pathetic polititcally-correct flag'. <<
Thank you. Though unforatuenly that does not stop the Perdue haters from missing the good ol' days when Barnes was in charge. Fortunately, Barnes's ugly little "legacy" has been replaced with this lovely item that a MAJORITY of Georgians supported:
The RINOs don't need no stinkin' majority opinion though, which might explain why like Governor Lester "Christine Gregorie clone" Maddox so much. ;-)
