That is where I am too. To me, the most fiscally responsible candidate is Huntsman. He did a good job in Utah.

Figures he would be from a place like that. Probably a rural dirt road county full of old pick up trucks, confederate flags and trailer parks. Isn't that where they put you in jail for NOT having a gun?

Maybe Newt has already done it in super secret??? Maybe he made a deal with Branson.

lol.. Vegas. Actually, it's a wealthy suburb of Atlanta with many transplants from the Northeast. Their public high schools consistenly make the top ten lists of best in the nation. Close though.

Well I don't know a whole lot about that part of Georgia. I was there for 2 years in the Army many years ago but I was in Hinesville which is close to Savannah. The only part of Atlanta I have ever seen is the airport.

I didn't know a lot about Georgia either until the Army brought me here. Most of it is in the Atlanta metro area, which is nothing like the trailer park stereotypes the typical west coaster pictures. I can't blame you too much for thinking Cobb County is some redneck backwater. I assumed the same in the 1990s, when I heard it was Newt's district.

Yep, that is where they will put you in jail for not having a gun. Now I am o.k. with the 2nd Amendment for the rights to own a gun if you choose. I am not o.k. with the requirement that you HAVE to own a gun. That is Newt's old district.
