My Unpopular opinion: The Georgia Senate runoff was inconsequential; Even If Trump's not President, the Democrats have the votes regardless
NOQ Report ^ | 01/10/2021 | Ray Fava

Posted on 01/10/2021 10:02:14 AM PST by SeekAndFind

For the last couple of months, there was a debate raging in conservatism about whether to turn out for the Georgia Senate runoffs. I was reticent on this issue until election night, where I made several comments blaming the Republicans for their own defeat. And while I will call out Raphael Warnock for being a blatant heretic of Christianity, this does little to translate for supporting David Perdue, the opponent of the other socialist.

I stayed silent because I could see both arguments and both arguments had merit. The Republicans enabled the same voting system that failed for Trump, unironically. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler were running a disastrous campaign with contempt for their own base. In essence, I feel no need to campaign for Republicans harder than they campaign for themselves. However, I can always understand the argument of throwing more sandbags in Congress to stop the communist advancement in our culture. This strategy has yet to work, but I understand the unwillingness to give up. It would be wrong of me to attempt to bind people’s consciences on a trivial election.

But if Trump is not President, it matters not who controls the Senate by the slimmest majority. Joe Biden’s regents will have the votes they need to pass their agenda, because the Republicans will not hold the line. On the issue of judges, the Democrats had enough votes even if they lost bigly in Georgia. Lindsey Graham voted for both of President Obama’s Supreme Court appointees. he would have voted for Merrick Garland as well if not for Mitch McConnell exercising a rare display political expediency. The Republicans held the line for Scalia’s seat, but that was an election year, and that fact was their pretext as opposed to the principle of opposing anti-gun judges like Merrick Garland. Only three Senators opposed John Kerry as Secretary of State. The Republicans are not going to fight.

I believe the Democrats have the votes for their Equality Act, because the GOP has surrendered on this issue already. The Republicans wanted to lose in Georgia, so there is no reason to place your faith in this institution.

I used to write a lot more on politics, but I found a greater passion about writing for my faith. My God is interested in winning. He did not create the world in six days to lose a cosmic civil war to Satan. And the Bible tells us Jesus will return to conquer the world.

We are on the winning side, whereas the Republican Party is uninterested in winning and the Democrats are the arm of Satan in America. Put your faith not in incompetently run institutions and instead place your trust in God. No Retreat.

Many Georgia voters saw right through those two fakers. From what I’ve seen, the turnout for the runoff was abysmally low in rural counties that were strongholds of Trump’s support.

Merrick Garland was a moderate "compromise candidate" that Obama thought he could get past Mitch McConnell. No longer needing McConnell's approval, I expect future SCOTUS picks will look more like Leslie Abrams Gardner.

Breyer will retire here very soon and there's talk about impeaching Clarence Thomas because his wife made some pro-MAGA comment on Facebook just prior to the Capitol protest.

Don't be surprised to hear this talk pick up steam.

I tend to agree with that because Toomey and Murkowski and Collins were all ready to go D before the GA elections.

Keyboard warriors are no match for people who do what it takes to get the job done.
"Keyboard Warriors" would have been arrested for doing the things Stacey Abrams did.

Tried to tell people not to expect a different result when the same people, same equipment and same procedures would be used that were used to cheat Trump.

It wouldn’t have mattered if they won, Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio had already promised to give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens.

GOP-RIP

newfreep :" The DNC/Dominion Party will spread to all “57” states
to insure the communists extend their power to even local & state elections."

Unfortunately, true !
We are a country of law and order
It sets a precedent for allowable political corruption.

It is unpopular because you are an idiot with a ma-informed opinion, not because you have an opinion.

Bottom line the democrats cheated the election even with foreign help and all most of the Republicans did was shrug their shoulders and maybe make a speech or 2. I’m sure they will hold hearings about it soon that will accomplish so much.

I live in Georgia. We are a red state. I voted in the runoff on a Dominion machine again just like the general to carry out my civic duty. I knew my vote would be stolen.

“I think the Dems won Georgia senate”

They didn’t win it on Nov. 3 (when the cheat machine was dispersed around the country and focused on Trump). That day Purdue won by 3+ points over the Dem. People, mostly conservative, who voted Libertarian (to ‘send the GOP a message’) kept Purdue under 50%, hence his runoff.

Republicans are very likely to take control of both houses of Congress in '22. The next two years are gonna be Jimmy Carter 2.0 so picking up a dozen or so House seats should be easy. And the Rats will have twice as many Senate seats to defend than the GOP will...one seat should be a piece of cake.

Once that happens hearings on Georgia,Pennsylvania,Michigan,Wisconsin,Arizona...and the hard drive...can begin.

I hope you’re joking, but if you’re not - you are still correct. The Democrats can literally do anything they want, including, for instance, impeaching Brett Kavanaugh. Don’t think they haven’t thought of that, and much worse.

’Purdue and Loeffler would have stabbed Trump in the back as soon as they were elected.’

She went back on her promise re: rejecting the electors and he never committed up front. Should have ‘fought for Trump’ a lot earlier and harder. They didn’t heed the warnings from their constituents. Kudos to Steven Bannon and the War Room for banging out that message to them early and often. To Purdue and Loeffler— no guts, no glory and sadly no Senate seats.

I think they’ve neutered Kavanaugh already, just like they did Roberts.

I think Thomas and Alito are the only 2 worth their stones.
