Georgia GOP: Do as we say in our 2002 platform guide “Declaration of a New Georgia”; Not as we do when we control and run the Legislature.

From the AJC's Political Insider:

A particular person was passing out copies of the 2002 “Declaration of a New Georgia” on Saturday [at the state Republican convention]. This was the platform that Republican candidates, including Sonny Perdue, embraced during their campaigns of 2002.

One section of the document was devoted to a condemnation of “billions [spent] on pork barrel programs” included in the mid-year budget “for partisan political purposes.”

Reporters were directed to a particular line item: “$250,000 to construct a fishing area in Burke County.”

Thank goodness we don’t do anything like that anymore.
