Georgia Democrats Freak Out When Republicans Take a Page From Their Playbook
PJ Media ^ | 6/7/2022 | Chris Queen

If the Democrats have a motto, it probably ends with “…for thee, but not for me.” Their recent behavior in Georgia explains why that phrase should hang around Democrats’ necks like an albatross.

Like so many thorns in our sides here in Georgia, it all starts with Stacey Abrams. No doubt you’ve heard the stories of how her Fair Fight Action PAC took in $1.34 million and used it to pay off the medical debt of 68,000 Georgians, along with 40,000 others in Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

Fair Fight Action hasn’t stopped crowing about it — even buying ads one time here on PJ Media — highlighting how Stacey Abrams cares about Georgians because she took contributed money and doled it out like candy while calling for expanded government healthcare here in the state she loathes but wants to ruin run. And it’s no doubt when (not if) she runs for president, we’ll never hear the end of how she took care of people in five states.

It was such a crass political move, but it was all totally cool in the eyes of the left. But let a Republican do something similar, and the Democrats go all “Katy, bar the door.”

Georgia Democrats are seeing red because a PAC supporting Georgia Bulldogs football star and Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker in his Senate bid gave out $25 gas vouchers to consumers in South Atlanta last weekend. There were no strings to the vouchers — no push to register to vote, to endorse Walker, or to appear in campaign commercials — the $25 was simply meant to help hard-working Georgians stretch their gas dollars a little farther.

I like using the Left’s weapons against them, but I’m not a big fan of “bribing” or influencing any voters with “free” anything.

We need to do more of it. They’re smarter than we are.

Please give examples. Teachable moment. We all have skin in the game right?

Agree! They are smarter and extreme with their tactics, no doubt. Look how far they have been able to push their insane absurd agenda. Them vs. the rotary club (us). For them , the end justifies the means. No rules, no decorum.

One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee.

When we will be relived to the fat scourge that is Stacey Abrams? Of course if she goes away, Krispy Kreme sales will suffer.

Neither am I, but sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and as Rush always taught us, the aggressor sets the rules.

They aren’t smarter. They are well coordinated and command the media and institutions. They invite the press to Davos and Bilderberg in complete secrecy.

Our ideas don’t see the light of day. Our echo chamber is inside a bubble. That’s what they excel at.

George Washington used free booze.
