Some Georgia lawmakers couldn’t backpedal fast enough Thursday on a “birther” bill supported earlier this week by a majority of House members.
First to block out his name with a heavy black marker on House Bill 401 was John Meadows, chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee.
A steady stream of legislators followed all day. By 5 p.m., at least 23 of the original 93 backers were gone from a proposal requiring presidential and vice presidential candidates prove they were born in the United States. Among them was the bill's lone Democratic supporter, Glenn Baker of Jonesboro.
Seventy sponsors is still a sizable chunk of the 180-member chamber, but is an abrupt about-face from just 48 hours before. Why?
“We’ve got state problems we’ve got to take care of,” said Meadows, R-Calhoun, who said he heard complaints from constituents.
Many of those removing their names said they hadn’t read the bill and disagreed with how far it goes in making a candidate prove eligibility. Others simply said they’d been told to take their names off but declined to say by whom.

Keep praying.
Looking forward to hearing what you learn.

Sadly, danamco, the Site Pest is so immature and screwed up that he actually loves and thrives on attention—even negative attention. When you call him out, he likes it. If you want to really get under his skin, ignore him. That will dive him crazier than anything else you can do, I guarantee.
Best to you, my FRiend!
I know that toooooo well, but sometimes s/he need a real “whipping,” because the individual is a kind of masochists, so once in a while I’m helping out with it’s desire of getting internet orgasm, LOL!!!
Omc - you are SO funny! Thanks for my best laugh of the day!
Yes. And His time is not necessary our time, and His plan is wider than our small minds can accomodate.
Sometimes things need to come to a head before they can get better, like a healing crisis.
Well said. We focus on one, two or even several details, whereas God focuses on millions, billions and beyond. We think the time is right, but God knows it isn’t. The right time will come, however. This lawless man, Obama, will not get away with it forever. We just have to wait and pray.
This is in one of my favorite books:
“Everything the Lord does serves many purposes.”
We should pray and be patient, but still do what we can do, large or small.
Thank you SO freaking much for that. It made my day.
Kinda makes them whores, doesn’t it?
Georgia politicians bending to threats (like a prostitute fearing a beating from her pimp), or just whoring for fed money.
