Michael Thurmond called him out on his faulty thinking today. I heard Thurman's sound-bite on NPR as I was returning home from work today.<BR/>Thurman, whose job it is to KNOW as he is Comm. of Labor, stated that Perdue should know that to reject the unemployment $ means an added burden on employers NOW, since they have to contribute to the unemployment payments. Perdue is posturing. It is getting close to March 1. Perdue has a $20million payment due on a loan he secured on behalf of his business. He worked a sweet deal on the loan b/c he only had to post 20% collateral to get the loan. I'm waiting to see how he's going to handle THIS. I don't think he cares what happens b/c he's a lame duck guv. Keep in mind that this is the same NUT who accused metro Atlantans of being whiners when there was a gas shortage last year, and they had to drive from town to town looking for gas. He went to Europe. Of course he wasn't concerned about them having gas because the gas pumps were always full and available to him at the Governor's Mansion. The voters here in GA keep putting these POSs in office, flim-flaming the poor with the help of rich POSs like Chambliss (I don't need to show up for the sugar refinery trial, even though I've been subpoenaed, b/c I'm a U.S. Senator and I have immunity, all the while campaigning all over the state with the help of turn-coat Zell Miller and Sarah (I'm the victim of the media) Palin. However this turns out for us in GA, one thing I can and will say to those folks who voted TWICE for this POS is, I told you so. In a way, I don't feel sorry for them at all because, after all, they certainly got what they paid for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-1778552901957551552009-02-24T17:34:00.000-06:002009-02-24T17:34:00.000-06:00This is great info.

Sonny Perdue will be moderate enough to see the necessity of letting go of partisan nonsense and bad Republican ideals.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-41610590420469244732009-02-24T15:49:00.000-06:002009-02-24T15:49:00.000-06:00I suspect that Gov.

Crist (R) in Florida will also do something like this. <BR/>He has set up a website for uninsured Floridians to get health insurance. <BR/>He met with T. Boone Pickens to discuss renewable energy and he introduced Pres. Obama at a town hall supporting the stimulus package.<BR/>I think once the money starts getting allocated, we're bound to see some momentum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-9573474949174694622009-02-24T13:20:00.000-06:002009-02-24T13:20:00.000-06:00I heard on the news this morning that Culver wants...I heard on the news this morning that Culver wants to do something like that for Iowa, but for some odd reason I don't understand yet it will supposedly take as much as two years for it to be implemented.Vasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768836891609377868noreply@blogger.com
