More GOP cavalry arrived in Georgia today as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz stumped with David Perdue and Gov. Nathan Deal in Canton, invoking memories of long gas lines and stagflation as he attacked their Democratic rivals.
Here in Georgia, weve got on the ballot Jimmy Carter and Sam Nunn, he said. Its like That 70s Show.'
The Texas firebrand echoed Perdues talking points by saying that an election of Michelle Nunn, the Democratic nominee, equals a stamp of approval for President Barack Obamas agenda. Republicans need a net gain of six Senate seats to take control of the chamber, and Cruz urged Libertarians to cast their lot with Perdue to avoid a runoff.
Theres a game that red-state Democrats play. Its a game they play all over the country. They come back home to Arkansas, to Louisiana, to North Carolina and to Georgia. They come back home and say, Look, Im not like all those crazy Democrats in Washington.
Let me tell you right now, every single one of them is lying to you.'(continued)

Both funny and memorable. Ever notice that only conservatives are described as "firebrands, radicals, bomb-throwers, reactionaries, controversial" or "unpopular" in the press?

I remember Sam Nunn from the 70s. He wasn’t a wild-eyed liberal. He was more of an old timey democrat like Hubert Humphery. He got out in 1995 and he didn’t seem to care for Hillary.

Let me tell you right now, every single one of them is lying to you.' This needs to be shouted from the rooftops, and repeated often.
