Breitbart ^ | 12/07/2022 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 12/07/2022 7:33:47 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Republican candidate Herschel Walker conceded the Georgia Senate runoff race to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) on Tuesday.

“I want you to believe in America and continue to believe in the Constitution and believe in our elected officials most of all,” he said. “I’m never gonna stop fighting for Georgia.”

“There’s no excuses in life, and I’m not going to make any excuses now, because we put up one heck of a fight,” he continued.

Walker made no mention of Warnock in the speech.

What’s the reason that two hundred thousand didn’t vote for Walker but voted for Kemp?

Greater levels of disgust toward Stacey Abrams, probably.

“democrats never seek perfection”

Sure they do. And they get it or else. Threats, bribes, arkancide. Whatever it takes.

IN a generation the blue states like Georgia will make Haiti appear to be a paradise and safer haven.

Also, CA implemented “motor voter” (voter registration included with driver’s license) along with driver’s licenses for illegals.

No Scott, the left defeats us with ballot harvesting and emotional hard cases and lies. If I ran a campaign, every commercial would focus on heartstrings-—families whose loved ones murdered by illegals, homes lost via high energy costs, and in this case, there would have been a car running over Warnock’s wife every hour.

It was never in doubt.

Mass mail-in ballots, adjudicated in a few loyal precincts in big, urban Atlanta, protected by media, and a wall of race-mongering rhetoric striking fear into all opponents - was always going to win in the end.

Democraps would vote for Satan, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc., as long as they had a D after their name.

Personal ethics, police record, etc., none of that matters. Just the big D after their name.

1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a how-to guide:

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power.

Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.

What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing.

All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives.

They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.

We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.

Power is not a means; it is an end.

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

The object of persecution is persecution.

The object of torture is torture.

The object of power is power”.

-George Orwell, 1984, Part Three, Chapter III, page 263

It's much more comforting for some to believe in conspiracies than to acknowledge he was the wrong guy to nominate if we wanted to win. The general election.

I’ve learned to never expect more from Georgia. They proven the very worst of the South.

Every election we lose is fixed, and every death is the vaccine.

There’s no way a serial philanderer that talks about vampires could lose…

I could be wrong, but it looks like a lot of Republicans didn’t vote in this runoff election.

Yes, that’ll show them. When millions of illegals are granted citizenship,the pressure on voting for the perfect candidate will be mute!

150 million vs 60 million is hard to overcome. That doesn’t include the half billion in kind donations from the media.

Wife and I saw Herschel at a last minute bus stop rally in NW GA, maybe 150-200 people there. He was actually a lot more impressive in person than people think. You can tell he’s a regular guy who loves America and not slick politician.

Championship college swimmer Riley Gaines opened for him. She talked about being forced to swim against Will ‘Lia’ Thomas and the threat to women from woke politicians. (She is going to be a force in politics in coming years IMO).

As she introduced Herschel, she talked about him winning 3 SEC championships in Football at UGA. Just as he stepped forward, she mentioned she had won 5 SEC championships in swimming at Kentucky. Herschel started laughing and shook his finger at her.

Wish everyone had seen Herschel in person.
