Republicans will take over both houses of congress and save 2024 for the democrats.

Prolly right, but it won't be long before they tell us how hamstrung they are by not having enough votes to get things done. We've seen this movie before so don't be surprised to hear this old refrain come back.

Notice how the GOP electeds don’t attack Kamala

The GOP doesn't attack anyone except its own.

gave biden 81 million votes

I don't need a bright Indian ex pat to make a movie to convince me that Biden did not get 81 million legitimate votes. I know that that election was rigged because the IMPOSSIBLE numbers speak for themselves.

Kemp is as POS establishment hack. What the hell is wrong with Georgia?

Don't believe the polls. They are suppression polls. Kemp's scalp would be a huge victory for Trump and the press has been piling on how Kemp is ahead by a wide margin.

First of all, to be considered a 'likely voter' for a poll, you must have voted in the previous election. So only voters who voted in the 2018 republican primary for governor are included in their polls. This is leaving out a huge number of people, the majority of them MAGA, who either registered to vote for the first time in 2020, or who were not inspired to vote in the 2018 primary.

Secondly, GA has open primaries. So if you are a Democrat who voted in the 2018 republican primary for governor, then you would be included in the poll as a 'likely voter' according to their standards.

What these polls do not reveal is how many Democrats were polled, and how many people refused to take part in the poll before they were able to get a sample of 800+ people.

The fact that Pence showed up at a rally last night for Kemp should have the effect of bolstering Perdue. I cannot, for the life of me, envision any MAGA voter casting a vote for Kemp in the primary. I understand that Perdue is a squish, but I would take a Trump-endorsed RINO any day over a Mitch/Pence-endorsed RINO, particular a traitor like Kemp.

We all know that since the Water Buffalo is running unopposed in her primary, the Democrats are going to flood in and vote for Kemp. The last thing they want is a Trump-endorsed challenger to face in the general.

And, as I said in a previous post: if Kemp does get defeated, he will act like a spoilt child and will gladly turn a blind eye to Democrat cheating. He would happily prefer the Water Buffalo to become governor than the Trump-endorsed candidate who defeated him.

Kemp can’t beat the Hippo. Kemp inspires no one.

"if the midterms fall unexpectedly to the democrats with a miraculous win, the march on washington will be immense"

Dream on. A "march" on Washington in protest of democrat election fraud? Never going to happen. Not many people interested in being imprisoned indefinitely for the crime of walking around and protesting in DC.

With King Trump’s help Perdue will crush the Ghettopotamus once and for all.

Irreparable damage has already been done and there is no political will to do what is necessary to reverse the effects. It would require extraordinary leadership and draconian measures. The pathetic Republicans certainly won’t do it.

Its not just Biden, its the combo of he and Obama that have inflicted indelible damage on this once great nation.

I believe the damage started long before those two started their destruction. Unfortunately, the damage is widespread and deep. It's in virtually all our institutions; education, healthcare, and even private business. Liberalism, diversity, and the notion of equity have infected just about every element of society. The ideas of personal responsibility and excellence are not universally accepted. They're not gone, of course, as half the nation is angry and concerned about the direction of the country.

But what disturbs me the most is that there are any people out there who think the Democrat Party is still an acceptable alternative. And while it is absolutely illogical, the left and progressives have millions of followers. Their minds cannot be changed with any facts or experiences of reality. They are irreparable.

I fear we will have to have a collapse and a rebuild. Fortunately, only one side is capable of that, but it will be an ugly process.

Sorry, its not BS. You don’t have to believe me but life in DC isn’t anything like what most people think it is. Why do you think government keeps growing relentlessly regardless of which party is in power? Have you checked our national debt and unfunded liabilities lately? You can ask questions like this all day long and they all lead to the same conclusion.

Most importantly, why don’t Republicans roll back the size, scope and power of the ballooning federal government? Most of them claim to be conservatives after all. They don’t do that because they are careerists and supporters of a massive government spending machine that affords them a very comfortable lifestyle. Being a RINO (or closet RINO) leads to good things for those who go along with the party.

I stand by my statement that there are a lot more RINOs in the party than most people think. I accept that you have a different view. Its all good FRiend.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I actually considered mentioning some of the issues you did but decided in the interest of brevity (and eschewing verbosity LOL) to keep it pithy.

Anyhow, your points are well taken and appreciated.

If we can get free and fair elections in enough places, and not return RINOs to DC, MAGA should win biggly in the midterms. Removing RINO McCarthy as Republican leader in the House, means the election of a Speaker of the House who will actually investigate election fraud. That can lead to the removal of fraudulently elected officials like Bidet, and a few Senators either by challenging the legitimacy of the 2020 elections, impeachment, or both.

'Eff Joe Bidet!

We can’t let that happen.

************

BTW on thing we can do to lower the RINO count in the GOP is to only vote for people who will commit to shrinking the government. If they won’t do that why should we vote for them?

Remember, the bigger government gets the smaller the people become. Many of our problems can be traced back to overbearing government and its deleterious influence on our lives and our freedoms. We need to get back to the Founders’ vision of limited central government powers. If we can’t do this there is little hope of ever restoring the potential greatness of this country.

We must do a better job of holding our electeds accountable for doing what WE want instead of what the party wants. JMHO

I did a search for the subject and found that was the cause of his dementia.

That isn't the only cause. The standard modern American diet will do it even in a non-drinker. Sugar, processed seed oils and GMO grains etc. are just as poisonous as alcohol.

The odds of that happening are roughly...at 80-1.

Not if voter fraud is factored in.

The funny thing is that in 1994, the GOP takeover of Congress should've deflated Bill Clinton, but it instead energized him as he had a foil to play against. He made triangulation a winning strategy.

Unfortunately for Biden, he's too far gone to capitalize on such a turnover, and his staff are too full of themselves. Times have changed. Clinton said his opponents were adversaries, not enemies. Today's Democrats consider anyone who doesn't agree to be an enemy.

The mid-term maybe the peoples last hurrah where elections are concerned. If the Democrats hold the House and take two seats in the Senate then even a blind, deaf and dumb fool RINO would have to concede that the ballot box has been taken from the people and the jig is up.

If this happens the question will have to be asked as it was in 1775, about the fact we will have no representation in our governance what are we to do?

The democommies and republiCAN’Ts refuse to do their constitutional duties and remove the activist judges.

You are right! Removal of a federal judge at any level requires impeachment with a simple majority in the House and a 2/3 vote for removal by the Senate.

I did a little research. In the entire history of our nation, only the following federal judges have been removed through our Constitution's impeachment/removal provision:

*District of New Hampshire Federal District Judge Pickering was removed from office on on March 12, 1804.

*Federal district judge West H. Humphreys – Eastern, Middle and Western Districts of Tennessee was removed from office on June 26, 1862.

*Robert W. Archbald – Third Circuit, Commerce Court - removed on July 16th, 1912.

*Harry E. Claiborne – District of Nevada - removed Oct 9, 1986.

*Alcee L. Hastings – Southern District of Florida - removed 1988.

*G. Thomas Porteous Jr. – Eastern District of Louisiana - removed 2010.

It should also be noted that a handful of judges resigned when facing impeachment/removal from office.
