What is it about politics that makes people so mad? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself in recent weeks as we see people showing questionable behavior at best at so-called town hall meetings and rallies. We have a split in our country unlike anything we have ever seen.

I returned to the grind early Monday morning with a recharged outlook for the job and life in general.
In theory, a week of vacation is supposed to do that for you. However, I can’t honestly remember when I’ve taken an entire week of vacation before. Normally, my stratdegy has been a day here or a couple of days there.

BY REP. MICHAEL HARDEN
This year, the Georgia General Assembly’s legislative session wrapped up April 3. Over the last few months, I sent periodic updates to you discussing key legislation and events. At the end of the 2009 session, the House and Senate sent all legislation that had been passed by both chambers to the governor’s desk. The governor then had 40 days to decide what legislation to sign into law. Wednesday, May 13, was the final day for the governor to sign or veto those bills and resolutions. Now that this deadline has passed and the governor has signed 337 bills and eight resolutions into law, I would like to update you on the status of some of the legislation I mentioned earlier this year.

By chance, I caught a few minutes of Atlanta-based radio talk show host Herman Cain Friday night. Cain, who is as predictable as the morning sunrise, was blasting Democrats as he took part in a Teaparty. Cain, the one-time Republican candidate for the United States Senate, never met a Democrat he liked and likewise never finds fault with any Republican.

Following campaigns has been something I have enjoyed as long as I can remember.

As a political junkie, I always looked forward to campaign season. I’ve long been fascinated by the process. To me, there’s nothing like driving from here to there and seeing campaign signs for various candidates seeking a particular office. I admit I often look at the back windows and bumpers of vehicles to see if they display the name of a candidate.

Welcome class. It’s time for another installment of “Common Sense 101.”

If my memory is correct, it was my father who years ago taught me that using a little common sense would go a long way in helping you venture down this road of life.
