The truth can appear at times when we least expect it.
JoEllen Smith is a bona-fide East Cobb Republican. She is a business woman and mom, involved in her children’s public education. Last year she ran in the GOP primary for the state house in East Cobb. She has been known to tell the truth. Lance Lamberton and a number of other anti-tax Republicans are given to saying outlandish things in The Marietta Daily Journal.

After they lost the election, they continued with their criticisms but this time they are criticizing the process, backed only by their prejudices, ideology, and baseless conspiracy theories.

Allright East Cobb Republicans -- and we know there are many of you out there -- Mitt Romney has chosen his running mate for the GOP ticket this fall.

The selection of Ryan has come as a surprise to some political pundits, who are already assessing how he may help -- or not -- the Romney campaign. Several prominent East Cobb Republicans have reacted positively to the Ryan selection. U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson said that Ryan "is a serious candidate who has clearly …
