‘Our state needs a strong, conservative chief executive’
The Augusta Chronicle today endorsed Gov. Nathan Deal’s re-election, citing his strong record of accomplishment in boosting Georgia’s economy and bringing jobs to the state. The paper notes the alternative is an inexperienced state senator. “If you’d like another example of what happens when a liberal candidate with little Senate experience ascends to the position of a chief executive, look at the White House today and what its occupant’s past six years have wrought,” the editorial stated. “Georgia simply doesn’t need liberal leadership, under any name or wrapped in any moderate-looking sheep’s clothing.”
“I’m honored to have the support of my friends in Augusta,” Deal said.
“Augusta has been special to Sandra and me since I was stationed at Fort Gordon, where we had our first child. Together, we’re going to springboard off of the new Cyber Command at Fort Gordon to bring many private sector jobs to Georgians while enhancing the security of all Americans, and we’re going to build our medical school there into one of the top 50 in the nation.”
The editorial follows:
Re-elect Deal
Governor’s chair needs experience, not name recognition
By Augusta Chronicle Editorial Staff
The biggest complaint among voters this election season is that there isn’t enough concentration on actual issues and accomplishments. So if we’re going to talk about why Nathan Deal should remain Georgia’s governor, by all means let’s stick to the facts.
Let’s talk about how Georgia’s unemployment has dropped from 10.9 percent to 7.7 percent while Deal has been governor.
Let’s talk about the estimated 295,000 jobs that have poured into the state’s economy under Deal’s watch.
Let’s talk about Georgia’s per-capita state taxes that are among the nation’s lowest.
Let’s talk about balanced budgets. Georgia has had three under Deal, all without raising taxes.
Businesses and industries are swarming to Georgia, and Deal is committed in his second term to make it even easier for people to do business in and with our state.
All that points to the type of fiscal sanity Georgians must keep.
And what happens if Deal isn’t elected? The Democratic candidate for governor is Jason Carter, who brings to the table all of four years’ worth of political experience as a state senator, representing a small portion of DeKalb County in metro Atlanta. He graduated law school 10 years ago.
Carter essentially is asking Georgians to pay very close attention to his last name. He is the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter. A full accounting of his failings as president would require a supply of newsprint our warehouse is ill-equipped to handle. Suffice it to say that the older Carter’s liberal policies that failed America in the 1970s likely would be reflected vividly in how the younger, inexperienced Carter would attempt to handle Georgia’s governorship.
If you’d like another example of what happens when a liberal candidate with little Senate experience ascends to the position of a chief executive, look at the White House today and what its occupant’s past six years have wrought.
Georgia simply doesn’t need liberal leadership, under any name or wrapped in any moderate-looking sheep’s clothing.
In a nation where so many aspects of our federal government are failing Americans, our state needs a strong, conservative chief executive to protect Georgians’ interests.
Please re-elect Nathan Deal.
