and thick silence falls across the room as every head turns to face the oddly-matched couple. "Relax, y'all," the donkey assures them. "Yeah," agrees the elephant, "we're just colluding to raise the ballot access threshhold even higher for new parties!" At which point the bartender notices that the donkey and elephant heads are conjoined on the body of the same terrifying mutant! Run for your lives! Democracy as we know it is over!

My Favorite Quotes |
| "The Star and Crescent shall not be worn by every man, but only by him who is worthy to wear it. He must be a gentleman ... a man of honor and courage ... a man of zeal, yet humble ... an intelligent man ... a man of truth ... one who tempers action with wisdom and, above all else, one who walks in the light of God."
- Kappa Sigma's "Star and Crescent"
"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."
- Alexander Hamilton
"Expectations cause letdowns"
- Me
"We cannot rest until every Georgia child has the health care they deserve, our seniors have the same access to discounted drugs as the Governor gets and we cut taxes for people, not just corporations. We must continue our fight to raise the minimum wage and we must not stop until we give our children the best public education in the nation."
- Former Georgia Lt. Governor Mark Taylor
"For those with faith, no explanation is necessary. For those without, no explanation is possible."
– Thomas Aquinas |

My Current Poll |

|
|
|
| Who is your favorite candidate/elected official? (can be alive or dead) |
| My favorite elected officials who are still in office are Georgia State Senator George Hooks (D-Americus), Congressman Jim Marshall (D-GA), Congressman Sanford Bishop (D-GA), and Congressman Gene Taylor (D-MS). My favorite past elected officials are Former Georgia Lt. Governor Mark Taylor (D), and Former Senator and Georgia Governor Zell Miller (D). |
| |
| In your dream world, which candidate/elected official would you most like to work for and why? |
| In Congress I would have to say either Representative Jim Marshall (D-GA), or Representative Gene Taylor (D-MS). As a Conservative Democrat, I would really like to work with someone else whom I share similar values and beliefs with. Also, Congressman Marshall represented my area for four years, before the GOP redistricting went into effect and did a great job.
In the Georgia General Assembly I would have to say State Senator George Hooks (D-Americus). He has done a great job for my district and is a cool person to sit around and talk to. He truly cares about the citizens of the 14th Senate District. I would not mind working for State Senate Pro-Tempore Eric Johnson (R-Savannah) as well. While we are members of different political parties, we are brothers in the same fraternity and having contacted him a few times he has always been extremely helpful and down to earth. |
| |
| Who was the first president you voted for? |
| John Edwards in the 2004 Democratic Primary. |
| |
| Have you ever been a member of another political party besides your current party? |
| No. |
| |
| What was your first political protest/demonstration/rally? How old were you? |
| I am not a fan of protests. Normally they do more bad than good. |
| |
| What really makes you happy? |
| My family and friends. |
