The man used his power, wealth and influence to help out his buddies and himself. He would find a way to frame Jesus for some crime if he thought it would help him. Well oiled machine? Damn right oiled with money, back room deals and dirty tricks. He is what is so wrong with this country. We need honest decent people in office, toss the good ole boys out! If only we could really get rid of the bad politicians and get back to the kind of America our forefathers invisioned. Kejo, you are clueless.

He breaks all the laws he wants but he wants and gets away with it. The most that jerk ever did in office was to raid curb stores for illegal poker machines or selling beer to minors. He cannot win a real case. He only did the raids whenever he was getting bad press. Heard he likes the white powder too. Ask old Andy. Hodges is an ambitious thug.

]]> Comment on Ken Hodges Running for Attorney General by anonymous http://swgapolitics.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/ken-hodges-running-for-attorney-general/#comment-666 anonymous Sun, 16 Aug 2009 18:27:46 +0000 http://swgapolitics.wordpress.com/?p=642#comment-666 Ken Hodges would make a great Attorney General. Hodges is the only candidate in the race who has worked as a DA. The allegations repeatedly mentioned on this website about his handling of the Phoebe hospital incident are pure rumor. I believe that we should suspend judgment until after the case is decided in the fall. Instead, people on this site should be focusing upon what is actually known about Hodges. He has a record of taking on political corruption (see the Sidney Dorsey case) and is well-respected in the field (he was named Attorney of the Year in 2002). Hodges has the type of bipartisan appeal that makes him an extremely interesting candidate in this race. I believe that this is one of the few statewide races that the Democrats have a chance of winning in 2010 and I am very interested to see how this race plays out.
