Ga. GOP activists sound off — against Trump

Some of Georgia’s loudest voices in the Republican Party are sounding off in the presidential race — against their presumptive nominee. Erick Erickson, the arguable standard-bearer of right wing rage here and around the country, hasn’t been silent about his distaste for Donald Trump. Here’s what the fiery radio host had to say when Trump clinched the nomination: https://twitter.com/EWErickson/status/727634645404270596?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Erickson has been actively working to salvage this year’s election for down-ballot Republicans, who otherwise might

Are Republicans Changing Their Tune on Medicaid?

The day we thought would never come might actually happen. Georgia’s Republican legislators are mulling over the idea of taking federal money to insure the hundreds of thousands of Georgians they left high and dry when they decided not to expand Medicaid. State Sen. Renee Unterman (R-Buford), the same woman who wants to fund fake women’s health clinics, wants the state to consider negotiating a federal waiver to help the uninsured and save struggling rural hospitals

This sets up a moral quandary for Republicans. If you read the Dunwoody

Sec. Brian Kemp’s sloppy mistake brings alarming implications

Once again, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp is in the news for all the wrong reasons. Do you remember when Kemp’s office accidentally released private information, including social security numbers, of all six million Georgia voters last year? Now Brian Kemp has made another sloppy mistake that could have alarming implications for Georgia. The Secretary of State’s office is saying that a Democratic candidate for state House, James Williams, is disqualified from running because

Blatant corruption

Have you heard of the Judicial Qualifications Commission? If not, you’re about to. The JQC is the watchdog agency that makes sure Georgia judges aren’t overstepping their authority. Thanks to House and Senate Republicans (and quite a few Democrats), it might have its legs cut out from under it. If the Governor signs the legislation passed late last night, voters in November will decide whether to dissolve the Commission and replace the members. The Commission would
