The Ox vs. King Roy The Rat – I love it!

Full script:
EYES ONLY

The Rat vs. the Ox

GIRLS VOICE:
Heeeees back…..
NARRATOR:

He can’t let go of the idea of power

His liberal, anti business, anti, education, anti agriculture policies were rejected by Georgia
But…

GIRLS VOICE:
Heeeees back….

NARRATOR:
He admits he did not listen to Georgia

He admits he was impatient with Georgia

He admits he did not want to explain things to Georgia

He wanted everything his way

He alone changed our flag

He alienated our teachers

He expanded our government

And now?

GIRLS VOICE:
Heeeees back….

NARRATOR:
For even more.

Who is this that let all this happen?

Who let our beloved state collapse by keeping his special interest friends and Party in power?

Who put politics ahead of the people?

Some just call him King Roy – the Rat!

He did let the power of the Gold Dome go to his head

He did forget the people

But, he did not forget the lust for power

Who can stop King Roy –the Rat?

Who is strong enough to defeat King Roy – the Rat?

Who is strong enough to protect Georgia from King Roy – the Rat and his liberal big government policies?

THE OX

The Ox has been on duty for Georgia

When there was disaster – the Ox was there. Strong enough to fix the problem, graceful enough to care for the people.

When Georgians need an advocate for consumers – the Ox was there. Strong enough to right the wrong graceful enough to care for the people.

When Georgia needed a champion for conservative government – the Ox was there. Strong enough to oppose the special interest, graceful enough to care for the people.

THE OX

Loud enough to say NO to King Roy – the Rat

Graceful enough to have a servants heart and care for the people

The Rat is back to bring liberalism to Georgia.

The Ox is the one who is strong enough to stop the rat.

The Rat is back to raise taxes

The Ox says that may work in California but not Georgia

The Rat is back to oppose Georgia teachers and students

The Ox says that may work in New York but not Georgia

The Rat is here to open Georgia up to the Obama liberals in Washington DC

The Ox says Obama may want that but Georgia does not

The Rat is here to expand state government

The Ox says that may work in France but not Georgia

VOICE:

It has been asked what is stronger than the Ox? Georgia conservatives know when it comes to protecting us and fighting for the Ronald Reagan philosophy of Faith, family, and freedom only The Ox is strong enough for Georgia.

Georgia knows the real question is who is stronger than the rat and Georgia knows only The Ox can stop the rat.

The Ox: strong.conservative.values

I spotted this YOU LIE! bumper sticker in east Cobb this afternoon. You gotta love east Cobb Republicans…

I’ve started reading FairTaxSOWEGA.com in my spare time. The fair tax would hurt my fiancée’s accounting business but I believe it is the solution to all of our tax woes. I’ll be learning more over the next few months.

I found this great little website called BitchOGram.com. Send an anonymous email, phone text or post card to anyone and tell them what you really think of them. In this case, send it to your favorite or least favorite politician. Isn’t this just the coolest concept? Free Speech be Heard!

You can choose different backgrounds and really take some time to create a meaningful, yet totally anonymous message to the recipient. I can only imagine the frequent bloggers and commenters over at Peach Pundit would love to use this service on certain gubernatorial candidates.

My friendly neighborhood Starbucks on Georgia Hwy 120 (next to the “stinky” Kroger) has been a good place to spot politicos and pundits lately. Just yesterday I spotted John Albers, who is running for State Senate District 56. Also in the crowd was Nicole Barry who reminded me I’m not too old to still be considered a Young Republican. And as I was leaving I saw Rep. Harry Geisinger, R-48, picking up some Mexican food across the parking lot.

Just about two weeks ago I saw the notorious Bill Simon at the same location. So it sounds like this Starbucks might be the new place to hang out and talk politics. Too bad I don’t drink coffee…

As you can see in the pictures from the previous post, I attended today’s 14th Annual Fulton County Republican Party BBQ. It was a chance for me to meet some of the candidates face to face and talk with staffers and supporters, some of whom I have known for 14 years. Last month, I attended the Gwinnett County GOP BBQ and let me say how thankful I was today that the event was indoors and air conditioned.

I enjoyed spending a few minutes with my old boss and his wife, Rusty and Jan Paul. I worked on the PR side with Rusty many years ago. Glad to hear their family is doing well. I also spent a few minutes chatting with Roswell Mayor Jere Wood, Sam Olens, Ray McBerry, Eric Johnson, John Albers and Bill Simon from PoliticalToolKit.com.

Next week, it’s the Cobb GOP BBQ on the 4th of July. Oh and by the way, today’s food was great.

I cancelled my subscription to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution this morning. I read everything online and I’ve noticed the annoying pile of unopened papers sitting by my front door. With all of the information online, why do I need to keep giving them my money just so I can throw it away?

When the customer service rep asked why I would want to give up all that information and Sunday coupons, I responded I don’t use coupons. But in truth, I’m a savvy internet marketer. I find tons of relevant coupons online everyday – from groceries to vitamins to franchise restaurants. I get all my technical information from the interwebs – Facebook, Twitter, Fox, even AJC.com

The only items worth reading are political stories by Jim Galloway and he posts his stories instantly on Facebook and Twitter. I certainly don’t read the AJC commentaries as the editorial staff is full of wacky liberals with no clue outside the perimeter.

I feel bad as a former journalist for contributing to the demise of print newspapers but I just don’t see how they benefit me anymore.

So, I ask you, political pundits, candidates and others, are newspapers relevant any longer? Do you still heavily rely on endorsements so you can’t give up on them? Besides the occasional breaking news story about candidates, are the cash-strapped newsrooms still effective in Georgia Politics?

Quick observation….It seems as though Team Ox is running full steam ahead with their online political strategy. I’m getting more and more content from them recently.

I’m just wondering when the other GOP candidates will flip the switch and start sending out press releases, agendas, newsletters and such. I will gladly post their content asap. So keep checking for your favorite candidate’s news and announcements.

How active will the 120Politics blog be in 6 months or even next June, a mere month before the primaries?

Should be interesting.

You have no doubt seen our posts analyzing the sites for Karen Handel and Ray McBerry. This is the much anticipated and might I add “requested” site analysis for John Oxendine’s campaign for Georgia Governor. I have spoken with Team Ox staffers and they were eagerly looking forward to an objective review so they can make any changes early in the campaign.

JohnOxendine.com is a clean site, good content and visuals. However, when using Internet Explorer, there’s an error message on page entry (bottom left of the screen). It would be worth fixing since it will cause some visitors to wonder what the mistake might be. It doesn’t seem to affect performance. The error doesn’t show up in Firefox or Chrome.

On the bottom of the page, there’s a cell separated as if to imply that it should contain some content and there’s nothing there. We suggest either merge the cells or put something there.

Also some of the site hyperlinks jump to another page on the same site in new window. This isn’t really necessary since they’re staying on the site.

Meta tags:
You might want to mention the keywords “Governor’s race”, but that’s just our opinion. You have room.

On the descriptions meta tag, it’s just pulling text from the page. You have 200 characters to use, write something effective.

Meta tag keywords – where are they? You are allowed 1,000 characters, use them! Search engines are starving for your keywords, take advantage of this simple tool in the code.

Links:
You have 3,199 links. Good job.

Overall, the site has a good mix of flash and html content. It should keep the masses coming back for more as long as they keep the content fresh and updated.

When President Obama’s Justice Department told Georgia over the weekend that it could no longer verify the citizenship of voters going to the polls, Karen Handel sprang into action. She exposed the Obama plan and revealed that it would allow groups like ACORN to actively find and register illegal aliens to vote in Georgia elections.

Karen took to the airwaves and the Internet to rally opposition to the Obama plan. She appeared on Fox and Friends, the Regular Guys and Herman Cain radio programs, as well as radio and TV news stations across Georgia.

She even started an online petition with the goal of getting 10,000 signatures of Americans who opposed this terrible plan and want to have their voices heard in Washington.

In the first 48 hours, more than 6,000 signed that petition, and Karen is well on her way to the 10,000 signature goal. If you have not signed the petition, please do so now, and be sure to forward this email along to your neighbors, friends and family members. If this progress continues, our voices will be heard.

Please help us tell the Obama Administration that only U.S. citizens should be voting in Georgia by signing the petition today.

Please join Karen Handel’s fight for the integrity of our elections by signing the petition today.
