We ALL need him in the Senate, and I'm not even from Georgia.

Georgia Democrats are going to do this! For the good of the country and for Georgia.

But I've given as much as I can and it's annoying getting 10 emails a day asking for more. Many of these races, money isn't the limiting factor either. Sarah Gideon in Maine had way more money than she could spend and still lost.

This guy oozes gravitas and likeability.

It was I interesting that the newsman was so stunned he couldn't ask who the klansman was.

I don't think he was stunned, he was just thinking "So?" and was just barely smart enough not to say it out loud.

ALERT: Kelly Loeffler just posed for a photo with Chester Doles, a former KKK leader who runs the white supremacist American Patriots USA.

In 1993, Doles nearly beat a Black man to death.

In 2017, he marched in Charlottesville.

This is who @KLoeffler is proudly appealing to.

I loved what he did to Perdue in that debate and I love this! Just about everything I've seen him say is right on the mark. He just tells the truth, gets down there so everybody can understand it. I sure hope he wins this election, along with Rev. Warnock, and I hope that if he doesn't win this one that he keeps on trying until he gets there. We need people like this very, very, much.

Well, maybe second to Ossoff calling Perdue a crook during their debate and him standing there with that "guilty as charged" look on his face.

And stealing from one's own constituents IS a deal breaker, if it's understood and believed.

Wed Dec 30, 2020, 09:15 PM

as “slaves to the Democratic party” but she also said she was “proud” of Confederate monuments ... Loeffler readily accepted Green’s endorsement. “I’m thrilled to know I’ve got a strong, conservative champion that’s going to be fighting right alongside with me” ...


Loeffler has aligned herself with and promoted the racist sentiments of Jack Posobiec ... Loeffler was willingly interviewed by Posobiec and then later tweeted the video ...

Posobiec is really known for: hardcore anti-Semitism, something that is also Green’s apparent bailiwick ...

consider campaigning with a klansman a bad thing. I wouldn’t be too sure. He may have just motivated them to get out and vote.

At least overt support for them. She prefers to ignore what is under the hood.

She saw this and it has opened her eyes a bit more. You could see it in her body language - she got very closed up and defensive, but thoughtful.

Jon scored big points with this.

Slinging mud on both sides, name calling, just so low level stuff, both sides should be ashamed!

Are voters that easily swayed by emotive and negative statements?

How about policies, past performance, mistakes made?

This childish name calling just has to stop, it does no one any good!
Media love the sound bites though. Best avoided, really.

(Dems need to win though. But get that rhetoric out of the gutter, please.)
