Citizens of Georgia; Are you Willing to Elect Republicans who Lie and Attack their Opponents, or Men who Will Serve you in Washington?


 All Republican politicians, from Trump on down, refuse to talk about the issues during their campaigns. You might ask why, and I can tell you that the answer is simple. They oppose every issue important to the majority of the American people. They serve special interests and themselves, not you and not me. Proof? 50 percent of all Americans believe that women have the right to decide the health of their own bodies and minds, including abortion. 61 percent of all Americans support same-sex marriage. In support of the unconstitutional Christian Religious Right Republicans oppose both issues unanimously.

On January 5, 2021, two runoff elections will happen in Georgia to decide who will represent the state in the United States Senate.

Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed by Governor Brian Kemp, will face Democrat, Raphael Warnock, and incumbent David Perdue is running against Democrat Jon Ossoff.

Both Republican candidates are following Trump's diagram; they are refusing to talk about the issues or why they should be elected. They are personally attacking their opponents and lying as they take comments out of context or simply make up falsehoods.

Warnock responded to Loeffler's attacks with intelligence and fact.

“We told them the smear ads were coming, and that's exactly what happened. You would think that Kelly Loeffler might have something good to say about herself, if she really wants to represent Georgia. Instead, she is trying to scare people by taking things I've said out of context, from over 25 years of being a pastor. But I think Georgians will see her ads for what they are, don't you?”

Not once did Trump ever discuss issues in debates or when interviewed by the legitimate press. He knows nothing about them and doesn't care.

Fact: Every issue; every problem which faced the American people on January 20, 2017 continues to be a problem today. Trump did nothing for four years with the exception of bragging about accomplishments which belong to President Barrack Obama and his talented administration. The truth is, his failed economic policies failed. Every Republican president since Reagan used a form of trickle-down economics.

Trump's only goal, and in some cases his only success, was to destroy a great president's legacy. Instead of improving the Affordable Care Act, Trump fought to have it repealed. He handed off the Opioid Crises to others and went to play golf. He has completely ignored the high cost of education. Instead of working to establish sensible immigration reform, he attempted to build his doomed to fail wall. Our nation's infrastructure continues to crumble. Under his failed administration domestic terrorism by fascists continues to grow and innocent Americans are dying. I don't need to repeat the story about his failure to lead the fight against Covid-19.

To the people of Georgia: I implore you to elect Ossoff and Warnock. They will not only serve you, Moscow Mitch McConnell will lose all power in the senate. Keep America free and help us move boldly forward into the 21st century.

Every Demographic Supported Biden and Rejected Trump

Don’t be misled by the final Electoral College map. Although Arizona and Georgia were exceptions, the Electoral Vote went as expected. If you are white, and live in a “red state,” you choose to be ignorant. You vote for any candidate with an “R” next to his or her name without learning if that person is qualified to make decisions which will affect your future. The popular vote was historic; Biden is nearing a five-million vote lead. More importantly, with the exception of white supremacists and extremists who would shred the Constitution, Biden won nearly every demographic. One surprise for me was the fact that unlike 2016, the Christian Religious Right supported Trump’s opponent. In the months leading up to election day, Trump’s campaign ignored rumblings among Evangelicals and Catholics that support for the most immoral man in the world was dwindling. This was confirmed after election day. This situation is another confirmation of the fact that repealing the Electoral College would ...

Is Republican’s Choice to not Pass a Second Stimulus a Vindictive Response to Trump’s Huge Loss?

Image
 No one is angrier about Trump’s loss than the orange buffoon himself, but Moscow Mitch McConnell is a very close second. He was able to maneuver the least qualified illegitimate president in history to satisfy his personal ambitions. His ambitions are not the needs and wishes of the majority of the American people. His personal goals are white supremacy and other forms of bigotry. It was Moscow Mitch who blocked a second stimulus check before the election. He wants to save all the funds for his rich friends. In the last week approximately 800,000 new unemployment claims were filed as the effects of Covid-19 continue to cause more distress to Americans. Republicans don’t care. They literally don’t give a damn about the working class, and have not for at least 40 years. President-elect Biden says that he will make relieving some of the financial stress from the American worker one of his immediate priorities. It is Trump who must shoulder the blame for the loss of life and personal ...

A Letter to Donald Trump Demanding that he Grow-up

Image
I'll make this brief because Trump's attention span is shorter than two minutes, proven by his constant tweeting. To Donald Trump: the outgoing President of the United States As an American citizen who votes, I am demanding that you obey the Constitution and recognize that the will of the people takes precedence over your personal ambitions. In what has become an historical election you have lost, and lost by six million votes. Joe Biden has amassed 306 electoral votes. It's over. If you are capable of facing the truth, look back to this same time four years ago. Although your campaign was based on lies, and was mean spirited and void of a position on the issues, you captured the Electoral College by a total of 77,000 votes in three states with help from your mentor, Vladimir Putin, making it the closest election in history. While in mental agony, Hillary Clinton displayed class and patriotism by conceding the election immediately after you were declared the victor. By not...
