RUSSIAN COLLUSION

Windermere, FL, Us

His use of the term "stone heads" might be in reference to the whole "stone mountain" thing, although Stone Mountain isn't in the 6th district.

disclaimer, when I say dumbasses from Hollywood, I am not talking about the general citizenry, I am talking about the celebrities who equate the ability to play "pretend" really well with the wisdom and intelligence required to make international and national decisions for everyone else.

Dems actually won 1 of the 2 counties in the district, had they chosen a Black community leader without a criminal past they would have taken Cobb as well. They just did not trust a candidate from Georgia because they buy into all the same stupid stereo types that you do Sar. You have obviously never been to that part of the country, it will give NY, LA, SF, almost any other major metropolitan area a run for its money in terms of anything you could say......except the willingness to be led by dumbasses from Hollywood and fruitcakes in Washington.

My kid lives in that district. I can tell you from frequent visits and interactions with the folks in the area, that the reason Ossof lost is that he was 1. Not from there, 2. Talked condescendingly about those on the low end of the pay scale,3. Was supported by people with "no skin in the game" as far THAT district is concerned. An outsider with lots of support and propaganda from people who had never even heard of district 6 before the race just turned people off. Handel was at best a shaky and shady candidate, lots of negatives in her past. The Dems missed here by not finding a qualified, active and liked member of the community to run against her. There are plenty. Many of the school teachers and school administrators are very pro democrat. Many of them would have been just fine as a candidate. However Washington Dems and Hollywood decided that a film maker from outside would be better for the poor uneducated Georgians than someone they know and have heard of . You are right, stupid is as stupid does, and stupid did. Now they can watch from their minority positions.....again.

" most are stone heads."

That's the spirit. Just call them all stupid. It worked so well in 2016.

I am looking forward to Judges Gisnberg and or Kennedy being off the Supreme Court. Then the Shit head Liberal Dememocrats will forget "RUSSIAN COLLUSION" because it has no truth. They will go shit house crazy about Trump's appointment that it is not a communist, socialist, marxist from North Korea. The change will be welcome.

No democratic win in that district for 40 years:

Conclusion One: Demographic did not change and most are stone heads. As I said before I was willing to vote Republican if John Huntsman was running or even Romney. the difference between Dems and republican is that we vote for what is good for the country..republicans vote for the party to win.

Conclusion two: republicans celebrate victory in that district since Ossoff gave them the scare. Republicans were worrying ...that is a good thing...get used to it.

At 0-4, It looks like the Democrats haven't learned a damn thing. There's virtually no way they can take the Senate, and almost no way to take the House.

That may be the Demi-spin, but here's the NO SPIN description of this event: Republicans WON; Democrats LOST!
Ya Know, Just like Trump WON, Clinton LOST!
Kind of simple to GET, seems to me. Maybe hard for Demi's to understand, but it should be easy to "GET." And all the whimpering, whining, and otherwise Bullshit explanations I call Democrat Pitiful Foolishness, or DPF, will not change that FACT!.

Windermere, FL, Us

Well the thing is that so many people believe that Trump (and by extension any Republican) are so reviled that none have any chance of winning.

If the seat had switched to (D), Sar would be in here crowing about how it's a repudiation of Republicans, etc. But it didn't.

As a chemist I always insisted that you learn far more from failures than successes, provided you were willing to learn from them.

People are gonna spin thus no matter what.

The Republican spin is that despite a bazillion dollars spent by rich Hollywood elites, Handel won.

The Democrats will spin it as Price won the seat by 23 points, and Ossoff almost got there.

I think it might have had more to do with Ossoff not living in the district, or looking like he was 12. But I am sure the Hollywood elite meme got some traction.

Pittsburgh, PA

The Democrats don't have a message that appeals to middle America. They only resonate with the people who are looking for government handouts and the rich who feel guilty for their success

Windermere, FL, Us

I'll save some people the trouble and take a guess as to the reasoning... this is semi-sarcastic hyperbole but I'm sure you get the idea.

When educated and wealthy people vote Democrat, they are being smart and independent thinkers

When educated and wealthy people vote Republican, they are greedy rich racists being manipulated by a clever Republican propaganda machine

When poor or minority people vote Democrat, they are being smart and independent thinkers

When poor or minority people vote Republican, they are stupid illiterate racists manipulated by a clever Republican propaganda machine

-------------

I'm fully aware that Republican "true believers" paint Democrats the same way, as either helpless losers dependent on the welfare state or rich elitist snobs, depending on what works for their situation.

But I'm speaking here of this situation - an educated district, and turnout was 59% - quite high for a special election.

A living wage? how communist of you. so a pot smoking high school dropout flipping burgers should make as much money as a hard working high school graduate who is a mechanic or on the factory floor?

Or maybe as much as a person trained as a nurse or dental assistant?

Why should any high school kid bother to pass a class and learn anything or even get skills necessary to hold a job if they are guaranteed a living wage for just being alive?

So since we can apparently talk about any topic in this thread...

re this Georgia race...

I didn't pay much attention to this. I'd been trying to ignore politics lately. But I'm seeing an awful lot of butthurt.

Yes both sides poured in zillions of dollars.

But this district is not full of a bunch of toothless rednecks. It is the 6th most educated House district in the country.

How do we reconcile this?

Windermere, FL, Us

I imagine that some liberals enjoy Sar's role as a bomb-thrower, taking advantage of the explosions but not taking responsibility for them.

I had thought about creating a thread called The Sar Report. Analogous to the Drudge Report. All partisan, all the time. Some straight-up news but mostly cherry-picked wording, misleading headlines, or stuff that's flat out wild speculation. Just throw it all out there and take responsibility for none of it.

Rather than creating a thread for every brain fart he could post them all in there. Or not.

Give up the Russian thing. You are beating a dead horse. Go back to playing with your sex organ.

Pittsburgh, PA

I'm guessing the Russians hacked Georgia. lmao

"So in Georgia you will not get it..stupid is as stupid does..fact."

Anyone who thinks that this election would determine minimum wages in Georgia should be more careful about calling other people stupid.

Hockessin, DE

Across the Nation, yesterday, Trump got a huge pat on the back for doing good work despite a negative media, and a totally obstructive Democrat Congress. Only the losers, the whiners, the hand out recipients, the very rich Bureaucrats and business bribers, and the lefty Professors are left. Maybe time for the Media to back off their lefty drumbeat. It's working in reverse right now. America IS becoming Great Again!

A living wage is a wage which is based upon the cost of living in an area, rather than an arbitrary minimum. Under an ideal living wage, someone who works an ordinary 40 hour per week job would be able to afford shelter, food, health care, and other basic necessities of life. - So in Georgia you will not get it..stupid is as stupid does..fact.

Pittsburgh, PA

All over the liberal media yesterday the talking heads said the Georgia election was a referendum on Trump. They were right. Trump won.

Dems and Hollywood elite threw tons of money into the special election in the 6th district and lost. This was gonna be their bell cow win to show how dissatisfied the country is with trump. So what happened? They will be sending another person to D.C. That is in lock step with trumps agenda. Sorry Sar. Hey Sar you ever think that not as many people share your beliefs as you and the media think?
