De-Elect Raphael Warnock!

If you are in Georgia, today is the day to vote for the runoff.

I really hope Walker wins. The media has shown yet again that they will go all out against any black person who dares to stray from the herd and be a conservative.

I’m also super happy to stop getting multiple texts a day about it since I have a GA phone number.

I hope Walker wins too. I sent some money to the campaign in November.

I was shocked last weekend when the so-called Republican Lt Gov of Georgia went to the media with a litany of reasons why not to vote for Walker. Seemed to be a never Trumper and it irked him that he had Trump's endorsement. Not a single reason why the demonrat Warnock is a better candidate or person.

Voted this morning, took about three minutes

I definitely didn't vote for the pro choice fake Man of God

Seems like two trends are becoming evident.

1. Republicans participated in the early vote more than previous elections and

2. Newt Gingrich this morning said that the early vote that was in was mostly older voters as the young vote has not turned out in the early balloting. That means a plurality of conservative votes in the early vote.

I saw a snippet of that douchebag. WTF was that all about??? Even the governor who isn't a fan of Trump went to endorsed Walker.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Maybe it’s time to repeal the 17th Amendment and go back to letting the individual State Legislatures elected the State senators. Senatorial elections have become too national with outside money pouring in for candidates.

^^ If the Lieutenant Governor is a problem then the state legislators would be a problem too. The only difference is that the outside money (and other "favors") would flow to state legislators, who are under no legal restriction from taking outside money. That's not going to solve the problem at all, and makes it more difficult for the people themselves to solve the problem.

The people of Georgia themselves are the only ones who can solve this problem; they may as well get started right now.

He's not wrong... Herschel Walker is easily the worst GOP candidate for any major office that I can remember in my 22 years of voting.

I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

Senator John Fetterwoman (D) PA demonstrably proves that “candidate quality” doesn’t much matter anymore.

Timing is everything. Say what he said during:

the primary - perfectly normal and encouraged

during a Republican vs Demonrat vote with local/state implications - moronic

during a Republican vs Demonrat vote with national implications - unforgiveable. Should never again receive a single penny or endorsement from the Republicans.

Agreed.
1913 was a very bad year for States rights.
Both the 16th & 17th Amendments and the Federal Reserve Act... all of which expanded the Fed .gov and reduced the power of the States.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Huge turnout in early voting where I live, especially for a runoff.
Hard to tell today but the traffic around the voting looked much less busy than early voting.
In any case, I'll be glad to see the politics and related spam stopping for a little while.
This type of runoff is much harder to predict via polling than a larger election so keep fingers crossed.
