Anybody wanna see what a real live walking talking racist looks like?

:( :grr: :( :grr: :( :grr: :( :grr::( :grr: :( :grr:
Since Perdue was elected, Georgia Republicans have thrown off their veneer of civility and have completely reverted to their old , racist ways. It is appalling. I am so sad. Do you remember when we were a progressive Southern State? The whole flag controversy was a portent of of the shit storm to come. :(

handing out axe handles to all the good white voters.

because that's what they are. Go back 50 years and they'd be saying the same things.

Everyone nowadays now that the Dixiecrats were racist bastards and that title is synonymous with such crap. It's time to start calling it like we see it.

Sonny Perdue told me he "was really a populist."
You know, Lester Maddox was a populist too. :(

and I don't see that changing much outside places like Fulton County any time soon....

Rep. Sue Burmeister (R-Augusta)

Let's run somebody against her! Should be easy pickins' at this point.

Go Jen! Go Jen!

Hi Krebs :hi:

Not in the right district.

But I know where there's a good Dem that'll be ready in about 18 years!

:toast: :toast: :bounce: :hi:

By the way- happy hour this evening at the Fox and Hounds on Collier. All are welcome! (We'll probably be the loudest bunch!)

now we can't come - family function came up. Please tell Casper that I apologize for being a giant goober and that we're sorry for missing everyone.

Holiday party this year? 'Twas a highlight of the holiday season last year and definitely want to be there if it's on.

I don't think there's likely to be a Dem elected to any critical position any time soon in GA.

There was a lot of things at play that won't go his way next year.

For municipal (and perhaps county) elections, it's up to the local election board. In last week's muni election, we used fill-in-the-arrow paper ballots.

There may be a chance for at least one Dem in the 06 election; Cathy Cox, currently the Dem Sec. of State, plans to run for Gov next year. She's the one who brought Diebold to Georgia, so they owe her a favor.

The Repugs were unbelievably brazen and matter-of-fact
in their racism to flaunt it before the Justice Department.
And worse still, Alberto Gonzeles approved the law anyway.

They've outdone themselves this time.

K & R

Burmeister said Thursday that the memo's record of what she said "was more accurate than not," but added: "That sounds pretty harsh. I don't remember saying those exact words."

- proves that race and denial of votes was all along behind this scheme. At least it is out in the public & this may kill the voter id law in the courts. What about all the voter fraud with the diebold machines?Wonder were in GA she is from. Would like to send her an email. I encourage everyone to vote with an absentee ballot in GA during the big elections. I do because I know then that my true vote will be recorded & I do not have to stand in long lines, because of the lack of voter booths in the poor districts.

No photo ID is required for absentee ballots. I wonder why they didn't address that in their bill? How worried about fraud can they really be?

My understanding is that the absentee ballot rules were actually loosened somehow.

And I don't think voting absentee is any better than on the machines, but it's a matter of picking your poison.

And demand, paper ballots and no more discrimnation! They need to do this every day until their voice is answered!

Typical conservative, judging by her picture. She has no lips. The majority of them have to lips. I'm not sure why, but I've noticed it in so many of them. She is a racist, narrow-minded, piece of garbage. I know, by the way, that's it
s silly to make comments on a person's appearance, but the no-lips thing just captures my attention.

I hope that we have a movement going in GA to help elderly and poor voters be able to vote. I also hope that this bigoted woman's words will receive wide publicity, so that people can see what the Republican party is really like. It's just truly disgusting that in addition to all the other suffering black Americans have had to endure over the years, this trashy woman is perfectly willing to change laws, in order to ensure that they are further discriminated against.

I've noticed that too. look at * & cheney - chickenhawk lips

Corporations too? Vote for the repugs else you loose your job! That's the implications....

It seems to me that every black citizen of the Augusta area should have grounds for a class action lawsuit against this Jim Crow throwback unless she can PROVE not only that such fraud exists, but that it is widespread in her district. If she has such proof, it should be easy to present and obviously persuasive; if no such proof exists, than she's just smearing a whole segment of her own constituents specifically to disenfranchise them. That sure seems like malicious intent to me.

This is big (and also bad) news. Her racist words are out there for everyone to see.

At least the truth is finally coming out. They knew this law would disenfranchise blacks. That was the whole point.

with something that may have happened in 1984. :wow:

Unbelievable.

This whole GA ID thing stinks more and more. Hope they continue to investigate.

I HATE these goddamn people

Why do they even bother doing this racist sh*t? Don't they already control the votes via Diebold/ES&S/Sequoia? :mad:

now I never mention it. Georgia was the only southern state to be "too busy to hate" and (with the notable exception of Lester Maddox) elect good, solid progressive Democratic governors like Carl Sanders, Jimmy Carter, and Joe Frank Harris. Who knew that all the time there was a Mississippi inside, just bursting to break free? I live in Mississippi now, and never mention being from Georgia. It's just so damn SAD...

She should be hung by her nipples in public square until she apologizes to an entire race. Not that she would mean it but making her spit out the words would be nice. Beats "uncle".

She should be fired from any government position and then the human race.

Augusta legislator's son charged with child molestation

Published on: 04/01/05
The son of an influential Augusta lawmaker is in the Richmond County Jail on child molestation charges.

William Wesley Burmeister, 23, of Clayton County was arrested in an aggravated child molestation case Wednesday afternoon, said Richmond County sheriff's Maj. Ken Autry.

Burmeister is the eldest of four children of Rep. Sue Burmeister (R-Augusta).

The lawmaker, a conservative Christian, has carried some of the Republican Party's most important legislation, including HB 188, requiring the publication of photographs of convicted sex offenders in local newspapers. Burmeister ushered that bill to final passage Thursday.

"If it's a good piece of legislation, it's a good piece of legislation," she said. "It's ironic."

Burmeister is secretary of the Republican majority caucus in the House.

Burmeister, visibly distraught, carried out legislative business Thursday, working for many of her bills. She declined to comment on the specifics of her son's arrest.

Wesley Burmeister is accused of molesting a girl, now 16, over a period of nine years, officials said.

"These are still allegations," Sue Burmeister said at the Capitol. "There's factfinding that needs to be done. He obviously wants the facts to come out."

Aggravated child molestation has been designated by lawmakers as one of the "seven deadly sins" — the most serious of violent crimes, which carry a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison. A second conviction brings automatic life in prison without parole.

and Momma didn;t know what her sweet little Christian boy was doing for NINE years??

I looked and could not find any article about the convition.. I would guess he pleaded out or maybe it's not gone to court yet..
