“A spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said Linder’s decision to retire is another blow to House Republicans’ aspirations in this midterm election year.”

LOL! I highly doubt it! But just keep whistlin’ past the GRAVEYARD, Dems! :)

Rep. John Linder—not Sen.

A spokesman for the Democratic ...Committee said Linder's decision to retire is another blow to House Republicans' aspirations in this midterm election year.

Yeah, right.

[BobL]

As far as I can remember, he’s an EXCELLENT Republican. I wish him well.

[AmishDude]

Very safe R district. In fact, it’s the one that ousted Bob Barr from Congress because it put Linder and Barr in the same district.

I was in John Linders district when he was first elected. I knew Ihad a great Congressman. I then moved and was in Davida Scott's, Hank Johnson and that awful bitch Cynthia McKinney. Now I moved back to his district knowing I have a good congressman and what happens? He retires!

Damn. Thanks for all your past work, John.

John Linder was a champion supporter of the Fair Tax.

He will be missed.

[higgmeister]

Did you hear they are talking about John Smoltz taking his place.

Also, John Linder said he wants to devote time on getting The Fair Tax passed.

[CondiArmy]

Wow! There is an excellent conservative black republican state representative named Melvin Everson in that district. He would be a great candidate.

[freekitty]

Make sure your candidate will repeal any law or executive order or program that is bad for the country.

John has been a reliable representative.
I wish him well.
I will miss him.
