'Cheap politician'

The latest prodding by David Poythress of Roy Barnes prompted the latter to finally respond ...

Have we come to this, that we ignore the real issues and concentrate on an off-the-cuff remark explaining that we need not be Republicans or Democrats but Georgians?”

Barnes said he was “trying to pull people together” but his remarks were “turned by a cheap politician into some type of issue. And I think it’s wrong and I’m disappointed.”


Poythress aimed to respond, but it was rather forgettable, definitely pathetic and involved a Putnam County reference. Given the behavior of his campaign the past few months, I'd say 'cheap politician' and 'David Poythress' appear to go hand-in-hand.

In related news, the candidate I'm backing - Rep. DuBose Porter - had a nice rebuttal to Revenue Commissioner Bart Graham that can be found in the same post.
