The liberal Karen Handel.

It didn't take long to learn the Atlanta politician is a liberal in new clothes.

She had an Extreme Makeover for her statewide race.

Any questions?


Submitted by lifeinptc on Tue, 07/11/2006 - 1:27pm.

her answers on a 2002 Candidate Questionaire she filled out for Ga. Equality, a gay rights group.

Question "Do you support legislation to provide domestic partner benefits to Fulton County employees?" Handel's answer, "Yes I believe in overall fairness for all Fulton County employees and will work with the GLBT (gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders) community groups to fine tune workable legislation."

Statement by Karen Handel on the questionaire, "I am also a member of the Log Cabin Republicans and participated in this year's [gay] Pride Weekend activities and attended the recent Georgia Equality forum... I am a fair and open-minded individual who is committed to being accessible to all constituent groups, including gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders."

I always wondered what a Fulton County Republican would sound like. Now I know.

Any port in a storm huh Greg. I think I'll go for Bill Stephens.

If she worked on the Fulton County Commission against a corrupt Sheriff, I imagine Greg thought he'd found someone to buy into his tale.

How corrupt was Jackie Barrett anyway? The only thing I remember hearing about is that she'd invested some of the county's money in an unapproved fund.

I don't mean to imply that's not a big thing. If she knew it was unapproved (and I think she did) it's a very big thing. I just can't remember if it went further than that.

But Karen Handel gets no credit for finding that out.

The outside audit firm discovered the problem in the Sheriff's office, not Karen Handel, she only learned it once the audit was completed

I think Jackie spilled it when she realized she had been swindled. Then the audit was called for.

according to the Fulton County Finance Director, Jackie said nothing about the7$million missing from the surplus tax sale accounts until the outside CPA firm pointed it out.

I see there was plenty of corruption there.

Since I'm on the internet 'n' all, I looked it up myself. Smiling
