Consider the state of the Democrat party. Grasping at a special election in a Georgia district as a life preserver for a party that holds virtually no legislative power nationally and still won’t even if this guy wins.

Hey Democrats, if you win this one, only 1041 seats to go to get back to where you were 8 years ago.

"...my opponent, Karen Handel, who is notorious for cutting off funding for life-saving breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood -- or a fresh voice who wants to work across the aisle to get things done, grow our local economy, (and) work to make health care more accessible and affordable for women and folks with pre-existing conditions,"

and

"...while my opponent's campaign has been bailed out by the same old special-interest super PACs peddling deception, fear-mongering and hate here in Georgia for months now."

This type of talk works GREAT in Austin, Boston, the Upper East Side, the Hamptons, San Francisco, Seattle and Santa Barbara but NOT in the South.

Atlanta is a political liberal cesspool but only because of the solid lock the democrats have on Blacks, but this isn't gonna fly in Southern White suburbs.

The braindead Black Caucus member is right. Ossoff projects that

Just an amazing likeness.

... a career politician -- my opponent, Karen Handel, who is notorious for cutting off funding for life-saving breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood...

First lie - first sentence. Typical CNN...

THERE IS NOT ONE MAMMOGRAPHY MACHINE IN ANY PLANNED PARENTHOOD CLINIC ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. AT BEST WOMEN WHO ARE CHECKED AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD ARE LULLED INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT THEY'VE BEEN 'CHECKED'.

Shame on CNN for the zillionth time.

Just prior to reading this article I read through several dozen Dilbert comic strips. I laughed out loud when I realized how this drama queen would fit right into that world.

Interpretation: The attempted assassination of Scalise and violence directed at conservatives has enraged the GOP base to the point that both democrat candidates are going to get wiped out tonight.

He’ll be the left’s new Anthony Weiner if he gets elected. He’s a southern Weiner.

The other part that the left doesn’t get is that anyone who has used Planned Parenthood knows its a lie so when the claim that PP offers mammograms and breast cancer services they are outing themselves as liars.

In politics, “downplaying” is the same as “blinking”. Someone just blinked.

The press will turn on a dime if Ossoff loses.

They'll tell us the race was meaningless... that Ossoff was a weak candidate... that the loss means nothing.

The press is not JUST a liar - they're predictable liars...
