Georgia voters enraged after Democrats promise of '$2,000 checks' becomes $1,400
Fox News ^ | 01.21.2020 | Michael Ruiz

Georgia Democrats have reportedly already begun fuming over their two new senators, the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, who were sworn in Wednesday by Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new report.

Both men narrowly won hard-fought races against Republican incumbents in the Peach State, winning control of the Senate for the Democrats in the process.

But a major issue raised by critics is that President Biden espoused a coronavirus relief plan that would send $1,400 checks to many Americans – while Warnock and Ossoff campaigned on a $2,000 promise.

"Warnock and Ossoff made it a point to endorse and exclusively say ‘$2,000 checks,’" Georgia Democrat Oscar Zaro told Mediaite. "A lot of the people in my district voted blue in the runoff for two main reasons. One: Loeffler and Perdue denying us relief during COVID while profiting millions themselves; and two, $2,000 checks."

Leading into the Jan. 5 runoff elections were a series of campaign events espousing the $2,000 stimulus check proposal in the days after former President Trump signed a $600-check plan in late December.

Enraged? Is this a widely-sampled poll or are they just using words to evoke emotion?

The way I see it...that monry is going to go into somebody’s pocket. It could be military, government contractors, foriegn entities, politicians. It may as well go into our pockets.

It just goes to show how much money was actually going out the door.

Wait until they figure out that they’ll be paying $8 to $10 for a gallon of gasoline and their electric bills and natural gas bills are going to triple.

Stupid voters.

They need to pay attention and do the math. 2000-600=1400

If I had to guess, I would say Turtle did that just to screw PDJT.

Sounds like a case of ... “If you like your $2000 check, you can keep your $2000 check.”

A guy offers a woman $100,000 to go to a hotel with him for the weekend and she replies “absolutely!”
Then he says “how about $100 for a quickie?”
She angrily replies “do you think I’m some cheap hooker?”
He says “we’ve already established that you are, now we’re just negotiating price”

Well my activities in politics are now history. So I don’t care what happens as it’s downhill as of yesterday.....the Biden Crime family and the Globalist World Powers have invaded Washington and taken over in their successful coup.

The thing about working in DC is that pay doesn’t go down. So Mcconnell will continue to get the same pay he did while majority as minority. He’s probably glad to sit back.

Wait until the minimum wage goes to $15/hr. and their jobs are gone as businesses automate. Welcome to hell, liberals. Actions have consequences. Of course the libs will blame the greedy business owners.

People who are low enough to bribe you are also low enough to lie to you. Who could have guessed?

I presume you mean you are done with active involvement in party politics. Welcome to the real resistance outside the party, as the power center is back to buyden and company + GOPe.

GOPe was exposed by Trump 4 years ago when they had the chance to overturn bozocare, or cram the Russia hoax down the throats of the demonkkkraps. Now, some out here are or shall become political gu*rillas - be smart, take on the anti-Americans indirectly, speak and do things as one can to frustrate the hell out of them. Also, people like Gaetz, DeSantis, Cruz, Hawley et al need support even if in GOP. Cheney, Mitch, Collins, Willard from UT are out - until then only if their vote is known ahead of time and needed to frustrate demonkkkraps, accept it (i.e. use them) but otherwise zero support. Politics is ugly, like making sausage. I can’t go quietly into the night.

“But the low info dems don’t know that.”

Do you actually think they care? To the rats, “it’s free money!” They are too stupid to know or even want to know, the consequences.

With any hope, the businesses that are reopening will ensure to send any rat employee to the curb, and keep what they can of the MAGA Americans.
