By Elliott Brack | What? The Gwinnett Republican Party, the group that could not even field candidates in all of the Gwinnett races, finally rears its head, coming down against the transit issue in Gwinnett.

By Elliott Brack | Is the Gwinnett Republican Party vital in this county any more? Have they given up?
Since 1984, no matter where you stand, you have to give the Republican Party good grades for helping its candidates win office. In many instances, the Republicans recruited potential candidates and readied them for service. As a result, the party kept seeing their candidates win races. They were ready to serve. Many of those that the party brought along are still serving in political offices of the county today.
“Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”
– The second president of the United States, John Adams (1735-1826).
