I've said it before and I'll say it again--we need more moderate Republicans. Many of the problems we face in terms of getting things done, passing legislation, and fixing our budget issues as a state and a nation; all of these hurdles come for the most part from the Republican party having been taken over by ideologues who promote a far right agenda.
Former Chair of the Henry County Republicans Charles was dead on when he spoke about Rep. Steve Davis' radical agenda. In Mobley's words, Davis panders to the far right, stating that "when the Republican far right wing is focused upon the center is ignored."
Republican Trea Pipkin almost won in the 2008 Republican primary. Many, like myself crossed over to vote in this very important election. As Trea stated last year--,
Steve Davis' failed leadership is so apparent to Henry County families with his recent vote on the amended state budget. He opposed the 2008 Amended Budget but sent out emails to Henry County taking credit for the vital funding contained in that budget. If Steve wants to oppose the budget on philosophical grounds, that's his right. But it's insulting to take credit for securing funding that he voted against.The voters are not as stupid as Steve apparently assumes they are. They know when their leaders have failed them, and that's why people from all parts of this county and this district are rallying to my campaign.
Davis has had the opportunity to lead--and during his tenure the fiscal health and long term prosperity of citizens in this state have dramatically declined.
Davis is a good man and has worked hard for the citizens of this district. But sometimes you just aren't the right man for the job. When it comes to supporting good policies and fighting for the citizens of this district--Davis is out of his league.
From the economy to our children's future--citizens of the 109 and across this State deserve more than a career politician that promises leadership. We need new energy, new ideas, and a new generation of leadership at the Gold Dome.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." ---Calvin Coolidge (1872 - 1933)
"I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians." Charles De Gaulle (1890 - 1970)
The far right is fracturing the GOP. Maybe it should. But the rest of us are tiring of the far right's moronic, bumper-sticker slogans.
