Georgia 2018: Stacey Abrams runs to be state’s first black governor
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | June 3, 2017 | Greg Bluestein

Posted on 06/23/2017 9:08:46 AM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

Democrat Stacey Abrams entered the campaign for Georgia governor on Saturday with a pledge to expand pre-kindergarten programs and make technical college education free, promising she’d bring a “bold and ambitious approach” to state government that will invigorate the economy.

Abrams, who heads her party’s caucus in the Georgia House, said that as governor she’ll embrace the same knack for compromise with Republicans who have controlled the statehouse for more than a decade when she sees common ground. But she said she would stick to a fiercely progressive agenda on some of the biggest partisan divides, including efforts to restrict abortion or pass “religious liberty” legislation she views as discriminatory.

Just what we need; another Progressive.

Apparently, progressive is now in since 'liberal' has become a dirty word.

A hundred years ago, progressive was the dirty word. So, progressives became liberal.

A classic example of what goes around, comes around.

Another socialist-communist promising to give ‘free’ stuff away, with money stolen from the taxpayers, to garner votes. That people like this continue to get votes in places like Georgia is sickening, and another indication that America is headed toward a collapse.

The most accurate word is collectivist.

The more we use it, the fewer people will be fooled.

I have absolutely no time for ANY politician that propose a “free” program. NOTHING is free, ever! If you want (government) to provide technical training to citizen I may be okay with that if you are honest and tell me the cost and explain the benefit. But don’t ever tell me it is free!

Is there any Democrat anywhere who has a new idea? Every single one of them is still stuck in the 1932 FDR “gimme dat” playbook.

But partisans hope to capitalize on the state’s changing demographics and the same angst over President Donald Trump that is propelling Jon Ossoff in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District race.

OOPS!
Maybe you should not be counting on that!

The reason a liberal likes the term “progressive” is that he thinks it means “stands for progress.”

Article is from 6/3/2017, almost three weeks ago. A lot has happened since then.

Maybe Ossoff can give her his donor list. They did wonders for him!

“... promising she’d bring a “bold and ambitious approach” to bankrupting the state.”

Fixed it.

“Just what we need; another Progressive.”

Precisely.
