Could be the Democrats are very proficient at cheating. Just look at the 2020 election. They targeted the swing states and won them. The Republicans don’t have any idea how to stop that.

What if it’s not about how good or bad Oz was?

What if the election was about the direction of the country?

There was a lot at stake on these “elections”. And we just barely lost... again... do you not find this just a little suspicious?

I don’t think any GOP candidate would have won in Pennsylvania. Too many blue collar unionistas had already bought into the “I’m-Just-Like-You” hokum that Fettermnan sold them on his path to lieutenant governorship. No GOP candidate was going to change that! Add in the normal Philly & Pittsburgh fraud and the result is predictable.

G Larry wins this one.

RE Georgia....Walker was winning. The Democrat counties held their numbers until the end to push Warnock over the finish line.

Will there be any scrutiny in Dekalb, Fulton, Clayton, Gwinnett, Cobb, Henry, Chatham, Richmond, Muscogee? NOPE.

Will there be any analysis comparing registered voters to the number of votes counted? NOPE.

Will there be any analysis of the ballots to see if they’re legitimate? NOPE. In the 2020 runoff, Fulton Cty was adjudicating over 90% of their ballots by mail. Wonder who got all of them.

The Democrats sued and won to have an extra day of early voting in Georgia. In my small county, there were two locations for early voting. One of them had a 3.5hr wait to get in.

Someone commented to me, on a different thread, about how the new laws in Georgia did all sorts of wonderful things. Maybe. Maybe not. I’m not confident in anything that Kemp, Duncan, Raffensberger, Carr, Ralston, or Miller have their hands in. Maybe the rules don’t allow for any of the fraud. But, unless someone looks into it and does something about it, who cares?

There is a lot of crime out there, if the cops don’t investigate any and put someone in jail, what difference does it make?

Would a sane person believe that the Democrats are going to play by the rules?

There’s no ‘ballot harvesting’ in Georgia. Really? Does anyone think that the election folks in any of the aforementioned counties would care if a truck full of ballots showed up in the middle of the night? C’mon man.

Ann,

Plese, tell me one reason anyone should have voted for OZ? Give me one.. for nearly a year, the only reason anyone could give for this craptastic candidate was “at least he’s not fetterman” or some derivative of that.

Here on Free Republic, a conservative bastion site, even here no one, not one could offer any reason to vote for OZ as a candidate, every argument offered was some derivative of “at leas he’s not fetterman, or if dems win this will be the consequences.”

That’s not going to get it done and didn’t get it done.

The stupidity of the “at least my guy isn’t the other guy” argument is that the other side can argue the exact same thing... Sure fettermans a crap candidate, but at least he’s not OZ.

And that is LITERALLY pretty much the 2022 election cycle, not just in PA, but with very rare exception... Vote for our guy, because at least he’s not the other guy.

That’s not a plan to win, and it shows exactly HOW WEAK and PATHETIC OZ WAS AS A CANDIDATE...

Now, to say, yeah, well, so what, the other guy was worse, is just more of the same.

This is PA:

D 46%
R 36%
I 15%

You aren’t winning PA as a Republican statewide with, “hey at least I’m not the other guy”.

To win in PA as a republican you need to get every R vote you can beat out of the bushes and still need to win Independents by more than 2 to 1 and/or peel away a lot of conservative and moderate D voters.

Simply saying “Yea, well I”m not the other guy” ain’t gonna get it done.

Let alone the fact OZ is just utterly off brand. A card carrying member of the WEF, a man who has argued gun control is a health care issue, a man who is a fraud and paid out more than 5 Million dollars for selling snake oil fat bills and hauled before congress for the same... a guy who’s a carpetbagging fraud... and lets not leave out, has advocated for trans kids, and stated he would have certified the fraudulent 2020 election.

That’s not a guy who’s going to be able to drum up every Republican vote that can be found, let alone carry I’s by more than 66% or peel away Democrats.. not in PA.

The guy was a dead man walking from day one. Sorry that you bought into the lies being fed by Hannity and the Establishment/Uniparty/Globalists, but OZ was without question the most off brand candidate ever to run for Statewide office in PA in my lifetime.

In PA, you put a Crap R vs a Crap D.. the D is going to win every single time.. OZ was handed every advantage an R could get in this race, his opponent couldn’t really campaign due to his health and the globalists/uniparty/establishment spent more than 100,000,000 trying to put lipstick on the pig that he is. and he still lost and lost handily. Had Fetterman been healthy, I can assure you, OZ would have lost by 6-8 points easily.

I think people are pretty much the same. I remember the left saying that about Donald Trump too.

If this were true, vote totals would be pretty much static. But they are not.

Ronna Romney McDaniel has been the RNC chairwoman since 2017. She’s the longest serving chairwoman in the history of the RNC. She’s also the least successful RNC chairwoman in the history of the RNC.

Funny how that works out.

Michael Steele barely served 2 years and was fired immediately after delivering a 63 seat House victory to the GOP.

Ronna, as a female, you should have recognized the leak coming out of the Supreme Court about the UnConstitutional Rowe v. Wade decision as a major crisis.
Your GOP had NO plan to address the upcoming crisis and its effect on female voters in this country.
You gave them the field and hysteria ran rampant with NO attempt to focus on the theme of the SC decision to put the Abortion issue back to the States, where it should have always been.
If there is to be Federal control of abortion, go through the Amendment process as they did with Prohibition.

In a number of cases the GOP establishment deliberately introduced ‘splitter’ candidates into the race to take votes away from from Trump backed candidates.

A crap candidate?

Simple:

A card carrying member of the WEF (Globalist)
A man who has advocated for Transgender kids
A man who has stated guns are a health care issue
A man who stated he would have certified a fraudulent election
A man who paid out more than 5 Million dollars for selling snake oil fat pills on his show, and was hauled before congress for the same.
A man who is a carpetbagger
A man who literally has no ties to the state or political base
A man who runs around in $10,000 loafers eating “crudite’”trying to tell blue collar voters he’s one of them.

OZ was without question, the most off brand candidate there has been in my lifetime trying to run for statewide off in PA, as a Republican... period.

Fetterman had over 900,000 votes in his hip pocket before Election Day. There was no way Oz or anyone else was going to overcome those numbers.

An NBC story about the Pennsylvania election...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-elections/pennsylvania-senate-results

Feel free to scroll down to the: How are votes in Pennsylvania cast? section

Early voting by mail....1,200,949 Fetterman wins early voting

Election day .... 4,113,687 votes Oz wins Election Day voting

It gets better though....

Unofficial election results show that Fetterman received 949,616 votes from mail-in ballots while receiving over 2.71 million votes statewide

Over 1.4 million Pennsylvania voters requested mail-in ballots, according to Spotlight PA. 70% of the 1.4 million requests came from registered Democrats, the outlet reported.

Fetterman also sued to have undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots counted, according to CNN.

It would be an interesting test for an independent party to come in and declare they want to look at the election materials and audit them.

Who do we think would fight it? Why would an honest party fight an audit? That’s right, the guys that were cheating.... because they cheated.

We see this happen and squishes pretend like it didn’t happen. Bizarre way of thinking.

I know this was for Ann, but I want a shot at it.

See post 45 and 46..

When the race is simply, at least I’m not the other guy... the D wins every time in PA... Trying to say... yea the R was crappy, but the D is even worse, isn’t a sale that works in a state with PA’s registration breakdown... and its a stupid argument in general because the other side can say the exact same thing.

Sure our D is crappy, but at least he’s not the R.

Stupid argument, and won’t win you anything in a state where you registration massively favors one party over the other.

R’s can run a crap candidate in Alabama and win.. you can’t in PA.

46% D
39% R
15% I

See 45 and 46.

Oz was a crap candidate, race was over before it began, and sadly that $100,000,000 spent trying to put lipstick on the pig named OZ, cost other races where that money would have made a difference.

“Why would RINOs support conservatives?”
Maybe the question should be;
Why would a GOPe support an America First conservative?

They will not as Arizona proves.
However, my divorce from the Republicrats is now final.

To: HamiltonJay; All

Plese, tell me one reason anyone should have voted for OZ?

1. Because his opponent is a vegetable worse than Thad Cochran ever was. Will Rubber Stamp everything because he doesn’t know better and there’s a good chance his illegal alien wife will fill out his term.

2. Because getting control of the Senate puts the WEF, NWO, Soros/Gates agenda in check.

3. Because it, at the very least, slows down Biden’s agenda, if not stops it in it’s tracks. Or whoever is pulling those puppet strings.

4. Because electing Oz gives Republicans a breath of air and, potentially, gives them hope that they can start chipping away at the control Democrats, in Philly and Harrisburg have over the state.

That enough or should I think of more.

All you have offered is a derivative of the argument I expressly stated in the original post.

All you offered is a derivative of “at least he’s not fetterman”... You just chose to verbalize it as consequences of Fetterman winning.

That’t not an argument for OZ as a candidate.

Like I said, nearly a year, and even on this site no one can or has offered an argument FOR OZ.. because there is none... there is only “he’s not the alternative”... and that shows completely how weak and pathetic OZ always was as a candidate.

The race was over once he was the nominee, period.
