Moderate Georgia Republicans Foolishly Want to ‘Play Nice’ with Democrats on Redistricting,
Tennesseestar.com ^ | 11/18/21 | Chris Butler

Members of the Georgia Senate and the Georgia House of Representatives Majority Caucuses released a proposed Congressional Redistricting Map Wednesday that, if passed into law, will influence the state’s political landscape for the next 10 years.

But the proposed map has displeased certain members of the political right.

The map is available on the Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Office website under the “Proposed Plans” section.

Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston, in an emailed press release, said the map “reflects Georgia’s growing, diverse population, respects jurisdictional lines and communities of interest, and conforms to applicable legal standards including the Voting Rights Act.”

“This map will now go through the legislative process in both the House and the Senate which will include public testimony and debate in both chambers,” Ralston said.

“Unlike the unconstitutional maps drawn by a Democratic Majority in 2001, we have sought to plan for Georgia’s future rather than cling to its past. And we have done so in a manner that has been thorough, transparent, and inclusive. That process has already included 11 hearings, more than 20 hours of public testimony and an online portal that has received more than 1,000 comments.”

Republicans hold a majority in the Georgia House of Representatives and the Georgia State Senate.

Sources told Breitbart Tuesday that “moderates who want to ‘play nice’ with Democrats have temporarily taken the upper hand over conservatives who want to press the GOP advantage.”

Take no prisoners, give no quarter. Treat the Demonrats exactly as they would treat the GOP if they were drawing the lines. Take a look at Maryland (1 GOP) and Massachusetts (no House Republican elected since 1994) for an example.

It’s no longer a time to be moderate. The Left is in full Communist Revolution mode and unless we fight them with equal zeal we lose it all. Biden’s shadow Masters have already succeeded in stealing America . It is up to us if the enemy keeps it or not.

The GOP consistently tries to transfer power to the Democrats.

I’ll try to get a take on this from an insider I know.

You look at the states that use non-legislative commissions to determine redistricting and they’re almost all blue states. You look at states that determine redistricting in a completely partisan manner and they’re almost all red states. If the Democrats weren’t so dumb about it they could reduce their loses in 2022. Good thing they aren’t.

The Snake - Al WIlson

On her way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Oh well,” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in, oh tender woman (come on in)
Take me in, for heaven’s sake (come on in)
Take me in tender woman,” sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy in a coverture of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night, as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived
“Take me in, oh tender woman (come on in)
Take me in, for heaven’s sake (come on in)
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake

Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in, by now you might have died”
Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (oh...)
“Take me in, oh tender woman (come on in)
Take me in, for heaven’s sake (come on in)
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake

“I saved you,” cried that woman
“And you’ve bit me even, why?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said that reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in”
“Please take me in, oh tender woman (come on in)
Take me in, for heaven’s sake (come on in)
Take me in tender woman,” sighed the snake
Sighed the snake
“Take me in, tender woman” (come on in)
Sighed the snake, sighed the snake
“Take me in, tender woman”
Sighed the snake

the map “reflects Georgia’s growing, diverse population” = less white.

That’s why so many of them are and have been “Assistant Democrats.”

We need fighters. Repubs and rinos act so weak, you’d expect that’d be the party whose ranks are filled w/fags and trannies.

These are the same RINO traitors who allowed the Democrats to steal GA in 2020. Vote every last one of them out in the 2022 primaries. There will NEVER be voter integrity until the RINOs are purged.

Translation: “Like you Democrats, we moderate Republicans desperately want to find a way to redistrict conservative Marjorie Taylor Greene out of her (currently) safe Republican district. And don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything else we can do for you — like get Democrats a majority in the Congressional delegation while we’re at it.”

Moderate GA Republicans are in reality Deep State.

Post the names of those assistant democrats. They all need to be primaried. We also need to rip a page from the dem playbook and start running our people in their primaries. Maybe then we can move them a little more towards sanity.

David Ralston, Brian Kemp, Brad Raffensperger, Geoff Duncan, Chris Carr and their unelected sidekicks Jordan Fuchs and Gabriel Sterling All must go.

Vote them out and their unelected sidekicks will follow.

Whatever it takes, they must be punished for what they did to Georgia and the USA. They must be removed from office.

This has nothing to do with playing nice. They are worried about the left trend of the Atlanta metro. They don’t want a dummymander. You don’t draw a map for 2 years. You draw one for 10. You take into account what might might happening in 2028.

If you get too aggressive, an 12-3 map now, might become a 6-7 Democrat advantage in 2028.

Georgia is rapidly trending left. You have to draw a map that lasts the decade.

Georgia also is under the VRA.

We have far too many knee jerk morons on “our” side.
