Blogging for Max

An almost fair rundown of the two big Georgia U.S. House races, the 12th and the 8th, popped up in today’s Gwinnett Daily Post.

Of note was this tidbit toward the end:

But Democrats argue that Barrow showed voters a commitment to the district by relocating. The law doesn’t require House members to live in their districts.

First, let us grab our box of Kleenex as we weap for poor Johnnie Athens. Then, let us propose a better way to show commitment to this district: Commit to the “Straight and Narrow” by commiting to the issues that reflect this constituency.

Try these novel suggestions:

Perhaps NOT voting for restrictive gun laws might show commitment.

Perhaps NOT being an INEFFECTIVE Congressman might show commitment.

Perhaps NOT waiting until August to open an office WITHIN THE DISTRICT might show commitment.

Perhaps NOT abandoning Georgia’s students for pork barrel projects might show commitment.

Perhaps NOT fundraising outside the district with your “fearless leader” might show commitment.

Perhaps NOT begging for face time with cut-and-run liberals like Mother Sheehan might show commitment.

Or perhaps NOT resolving to be Nancy Pelosi’s lap dog might show commitment.
