Georgia voters enraged after Democrats promise of '$2,000 checks' becomes $1,400

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.

Another factor besides bribing the electorate ... was reported was lower turnout in blue areas, reportedly because the election was fixed (e.g. Ruby video). Mitch is angry with Trump over this, instead of the GOP state officials who rank and file believed certified a false election. Why bother spend the time if the outcome is already determined. I also think there was a continuation of the Stacey’s stuffing the ballot boxes with illegal votes.

PS - The people who would vote for the $2000 bribe generally wouldn’t vote GOP anyway. No matter what $$$ amount of public money a GOP candidate would bribe a voter, the demonkkkraps will always out-bribe them. And when the demonkkkraps don’t deliver on their bribes, no problem, the dupes will continue to vote for them. Many people love to be lied to because the alternative -accept the truth would require work and personal change.

Poor Georgiafornia. Your souls were worth less than you were lead to believe. I’m hearing people also moan that if they DO get a check, it won’t be until at least April.

That’s exactly what I mean....I have no party now....it’s senseless to vote as the voting system is so easily corrupted.....Everything points to the fact this country is not the least bit run by the people. This election just proved that.

As for those few left in the GOP worthy of support.....they’re so vastly outnumbered I can’t see any change that’s possible in the future. I’m unwilling to put the time in to fight further. I will vote as a tribute to those who gave their blood so I have that right...but it means nothing more.

They did a survey a couple of days before the run-offs and the GOP actually was leading, even if not by a huge amount. Granted, the Dems were cheating like mad and in fact this is the only thing that even made it close, based on the original polling for the GOP candidates.

A survey done after the election did indicate that the $2000 factored into the thinking of a lot of voters. And both of the Dem candidates were out there immediately capitalizing on it and promising people they’d get it if they elected the Dems. McConnell’s action was also presented as something showing that the GOP doesn’t care about “the little guy,” and this is the narrative the Dems went with.

Even Trump, although acknowledging the problems of a cash stimulus and objecting to many of the things in the bill, was in favor of going ahead with it. I honestly think McConnell did it as an act of spite, because he knew he didn’t need Trump’s support anymore since Trump had, theoretically, not been reelected and McConnell was opposed to re-examining the election in any way (and actually spiked an attempt to do this).

YOU all sold your votes-—which is completely illegal-—and you got cheated.

What makes any of you think the next 4 years will be any better???

You got tested & you FAILED the test-—Now you will be jerked around for another 4 years.

Sucks to be Georgia voter.....

I remember when the Trump tax cut was passed, and a former Democrat friend of mine (who works for H&R Block) complained to me that she had refigured her taxes through the year and ended up “owing” money. My response: “How conservative of you.”
