Karen Handel said what!?

Hi Kids,

I was reading the Political Insider over the weekend and really, really, really enjoying Big Jim Galloway's post on the republican flim flam game going on over Speaker Richardson's resignation when a quote by none other than Sec State Karen Handel caught my eye,

Quote:

“From the moment you become aware of an impropriety or wrongdoing, and you do nothing about it, you become part of the problem,”

She actually said that.

Based on her heartfelt and earnest statement, I have to assume that she still hasn't read Title 10 or Title 21 of the Official Code of Georgia. These code sections are the basis for our belief that electronic petitioning is legal and acceptable here in Georgia without any new legislation required from the Animal House currently serving down at the Gold Dome. We've contacted the Sec State twice this year on this matter and got brushed off both times.

Quote:

“From the moment you become aware of an impropriety or wrongdoing, and you do nothing about it, you become part of the problem,”

Really?! What part of our fair state's 1943 Jim Crow Petition law do you like best? Is it the insanely high percentage of registered voters that have to sign such petitions? Is it the archaic paper form of a certain size and shape that each have to be notorized? Do you smile quietly to yourself at the thought of all those Libertarian volunteers having to go door to door in the hot June sun? Or is it the Notary Public Loophole that allows those hard won signatures to be disqualified wholesale? Which one of them is it Sec State Handel?

Quote:

“From the moment you become aware of an impropriety or wrongdoing, and you do nothing about it, you become part of the problem,”

Since you're absolutely brimming with suggestions as to how the legislature can overcome their problems with improper gifts, girlfriends and sweetheart deals with their pals, what are you planning to do about the 66 years of of ballot access tyranny that has cursed our fair state? Are you going to continue your current policy of good old boy go-along to get-along oppression or are you ready to see the light? Will you take action to end the injustice?

“From the moment you become aware of an impropriety or wrongdoing, and you do nothing about it, you become part of the problem,”

Fine words Sec State Handel, bold words, your words. Do you mean them?
