3 Unsexy Reasons Warnock Beat Walker In
The Georgia Runoff

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 12/8/2022 6:39:10 PM

The Georgia runoff is over. Raphael Warnock came out on top (as expected). And Republicans are once again running the “quality candidate” canard as the reason for Herschel Walker’s loss (in addition to the overblown, overused, Trump scapegoat). Yet despite the fact Walker was outspent by Warnock nearly 3 to 1 (Warnock spent $126,232,942 to Walker’s $48,455,356), Walker performed remarkably well, netting 48.6 percent of the vote to Warnock’s 51.4 percent. This as Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp only came out in full force for Walker after he coasted to reelection in November (loaning his field organizing team to the Senate Leadership Fund — the GOP’s Senate super PAC which backed Walker).

If the GOP does not address ballot harvesting/fraud, nothing else will matter. Not in 2024, not in 2026, not ever.

So democrat soldiers, who probably have stacks of blank ballots, prey on uninformed people, mostly black, who probably had no intention of voting because they don't follow politics, get paid to 'help' them fill out the their ballots.

FTA - "They did this by pulling out their most effective ground game tactics such as harvesting (and curing) ballots, spending millions of dollars in various get-out-the-vote efforts and going to court to expand and cement their radical post-2020 election law changes. And it paid off. If Republicans can’t stop their tactics, then the GOP would do well to mirror them." Same o, same o. We're still not getting it. 2,000 Mules, Part 2.

Ballot harvesting needs to be challenged in the courts all the way to the Supreme Court. All States need to pass laws outlawing the practice with severe penalties if caught after being illegal. Until that happens the Republicans cannot win any election.

Ya'll can whine and delude yourself about the election being stolen, it wasn't, to your hearts content. But it won't change the outcome. And it won't win future elections. These are the new rules and the GOP had better get real good at playing by the new rules very quickly. This is 2022. And the GOP is campaigning like it's 1982. Politics stopped being a gentleman's sport and has become a blood sport. Republicans act like rules, civility and self control are still a thing. What would you expect from the "well I never" pearl clutching party.

Walker did not win because cheating was a factor but more importantly, he lost because the GOPe wanted him to lose. McConnell and company made sure that anyone Trump supported was defeated. It’s as simple as that. The GOPe exists to protect the status quo.

Cheating, stealing, fraud is not sexy? Come on! Republicans don't have to run a quality candidate; their candidate just needs to be able to finish a sentence without lying. The left runs the worst candidates and they win. Why does quality matter when cheating, stealing, and fraud are involved? If you don't believe fraud and theft is happening while advocating that our side figures out how to steal and commit fraud too, you're the deluded one.

I would have voted for Walker, simply because we needed that Senate vote, and also because Warnock is such a raging Lefty---but I think the man was unqualified note how everyone BUT Walker spoke for him in the last days) and had too many skeletons in his closet (Warnock did as well but they were not exploited.). Were the NON TRUMP candidate running, the one Trump and Walker got rid of, I have no doubt he would have won. Again the hand of the Donald. For all the good he did as President, and I voted for him twice, he has brought so many personal grudges and vendettas in to the picture in multi states, that we lost our Red Wave but good.

Not mentioned is that the LT Gov(R) of Georgia came out just before the election and said neither candidate was worthy of his vote. Which means that high minded Republicans probably decided not to vote while Warnock braindead Lefty voters were even more encourage to vote for Warlock.

Agreed #7 and that's why I've said that it takes those two guys to do the work at the 12pm slot of one man in Rush Limbaugh. As far as why Walker lost. The corrupt stinking democrats have protected to art of the steal. Period. It's not the quality of the candidates (John Fetterman anyone?). It's ballot harvesting en masse. The Republicans need to get this stopped or we will have the same bull Schiff happen in 2024 and beyond.

Here's the real reasons Walker lost --- in no order of priority. 1) The GOP leadership --- from McConnell to Rona McDaniel did not want anyone elected who did not support them. They don't want boat-rockers. 2) It is much easier to be in the minority in D.C. ---no heavy lifting and you blame the other guy. 3) The Turtle was afraid if he had a true majority --- aside from a rebellion to replace him as leader --- he would also get blamed for not stopping the border, getting more oil, blocking Biden, etc. So much easier to throw your hands up and say I don't have the votes 4) Anyone Trump now endorses must be destroyed 5) All that money raised by War-lock was spent in the local black churches. Not on ads or robo-calls. It was a boon for every small time "preacher" in Georgia. Many of the storefront "churches" are already getting new roofs, windows, etc. The preachers are getting new cars. 6) Ballot harvesting is a euphemism for stealing and/or making up votes. 7) Early voting is another euphemism for theft. 8) The Republicans in Georgia resented an outsider (i.e., someone not under their thumb) coming in any not oweing them anything. If I could think of more reasons ... I'd add them!

If in the next two years nothing is done about ballot harvesting Trump, DeSantis or any republican will ever see the inside of the White House we will have selections not elections. If the republicans don't move on this, I'm not voting in 2024 because my one vote is canceled by fraud names on paper ballots which number in the thousands. Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania were straight up 'stolen' and this will continue. We now have a third world country and a fraud government.

The American colonials did not win their freedom in 1 day or 1 battle, or even w/ a majority of the populace in 1 state or a majority of 'states'. Iirc, the colonial RINOs of the 1700's [king george's loyalists] exalted their royal ties-- craving money, power, and fancy dress balls. Our beginnings are to be found, i expect, in a mere 10% of the population, from a patch of grass in western Mass. God save them all, and Geo. Washington, and the graces of Providence that shone down upon them--especially at Christmas--as they took up their crosses to follow Liberty's Light through a very long , dark night, wherein the only constant was monetary and political treachery by the elites and politicians of the day. Merry Christmas Bee-itch-ez

When Elon Musk reached an agreement to acquire Twitter for $44 billion in October, the deal was met with a wave of outrage from the left. Democrats spanning the nation condemned the acquisition, claiming that it was “dangerous” for America. Now, we’re starting to figure out why. After the release of the “Twitter Files” last week, which documented the censorship of the accurate New York Post report about Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election, the left is panicking.

Elon Musk’s release of the "Twitter Files," showing behind the scenes efforts to suppress the New York Post’s bombshell Hunter Biden laptop story didn’t just break news, it was also an attempt to break the legacy media’s grip on news itself. Instead of appearing on 60 minutes, as most CEO’s would, or giving the internal materials to the New York Times or Washington Post, Musk handed the story to independent journalists Matt Taiibi and Bari Weiss and then broke the story on his own platform. Not only that, he teased the release to create a kind of appointment viewing for the document dump.

“1984” author George Orwell warned that “if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” That line has never been more relevant than in the aftermath of the second release of Twitter documents this week. Many liberals had denied the social-media giant was engaging in censorship by using the more pleasant term “content modification.” Now, documents show Twitter executives burying “disfavored” views as “visibility filtering” and “amplification” limits. Calling executives the “Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust” (Vijaya Gadde) and the “Global Head of Trust & Safety” (Yoel Roth) doesn’t alter their status as some of the greatest censors in history.

The second installment of Elon Musk's so-called "Twitter Files" shed light on the company's practices of secretly "blacklisting" certain tweets and users. "A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users," journalist Bari Weiss began her thread on Thursday.

Now that the U.S. Senate run-off in Georgia between Herschel Walker and Sen. Raphael Warnock is behind us, the final results of the 2022 midterm elections are in. This is an opportune moment to examine what happened at the polls and what we can expect from the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress starting in January 2023. With incumbent Raphael Warnock’s victory, Democrats will return to Washington with a 51 to 49 majority in the U.S. Senate. Although Senate Democrats only managed a net pick-up of one seat this election cycle despite an extremely favorable map, that lone seat carries with it great significance.

Despite some misconceptions that the Georgia runoff won’t have a major impact, the difference between a 50-50 Senate and a 51-49 Senate is enormous. Vice President Kamala Harris can break ties on the Senate floor – but not in committees. With 51 seats, Democrats would control every committee.

Why Does the GOP Elite Hate Its Own Base? 30 replies
Posted by GustoGrabber 12/9/2022 6:47:13 AM Post Reply
It is one of the most bitter and tragic ironies of our contemporary politics that the leadership of one of America’s two major political parties, the Republican Party, utterly despises that party’s very own voting base. The GOP elite’s scorn for its own voters has, at this point, been a long time in the making. The trend accelerated during the 2009-2011 rise of the Tea Party, a grassroots movement fueled by constitutionalism and anti-elite populism. The crustier elements of the Republican establishment ran as far away as possible from the Tea Party, and the 2012 presidential coronation of private equity plutocrat Mitt Romney effectively killed the movement.

Team Trump has sometimes compared former President Donald Trump's current quest for a non-sequential second term to two-term President Grover Cleveland's similar three election bids. Cleveland remains our only elected president (1884) to have lost a reelection bid (1888) -- in a disputed vote -- only to be reelected four years later in 1892. Yet Trump seems determined instead to follow a different, and bullheaded, Teddy Roosevelt model. Roosevelt left the presidency in 1908, sat out four years, and then lost a reelection bid in 1912, split and alienated the Republican Party, and ensured the election of the progressive Woodrow Wilson.

He then said, “Our work continues to limit the number of bullets that can be in a cartridge, type of weapons that can be purchased and sold, attempt to ban ‘assault weapons,’ a whole range of things that are just commonsense.”
