Handel defeats Ossoff to win Georgia 6th District
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | June 20, 2017 | Greg Bluestein

Republican Karen Handel staved off a furious challenge from Democrat Jon Ossoff on Tuesday in a race to represent a suburban Atlanta seat in Congress, as the GOP and President Donald Trump avoided an embarrassing defeat in the most expensive U.S. House contest in history.

A former Georgia secretary of state, Handel emphasized her experience and roots in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District to defeat Ossoff and keep a seat that’s long been held by Republicans in GOP hands. She becomes Georgia’s first female Republican member of the U.S. House.....

Tonight is what needed to happen to Obama in 2004 if Mike Ditka had run against him for the Illinois US Senate seat. Kill his political career before it gets started.

re: “furious challenge”

I think they mean that furious raging Leftards swarmed into GA06 trying to subvert the wishes of the district’s electorate.

The left poured in tens of millions of dollars, and reportedly 12,000 volunteer and campaign workers (I find that number a bit hard to believe, but that’s what I saw them claiming the other day).

Despite all the fury of the left, THEY LOST.

At least he paid up the $150 and didn’t try to weasel out of it.

You got that one right. The far lefties are often seriously lacking in character.

For example (I promise this is true):

I live across the street from a lefty dem member of the Ohio house (currently former member, but only because of a new term limit law in Ohio: She'll be back in after she sits out the 2 yr term). I own a small dump truck ('94 f-350 w/ commercial type dump bed and auto trans) that this lady would sometimes want to borrow to get a load of sawdust for her horse stables. We don't (of course) use the truck as a daily driver. It wasn't until a week or so after the last time she used it that my 15 yo son noticed that the shifter mechanism was broken.

At the time, I didn't absolutely know that she did it. One of my kids or kids friends could have been messing around and done it and been afraid to admit it to me. However, that was months ago, she hasn't ever spoken to me since then and she hasn't asked to borrow the truck (a load of sawdust would normally last her about 6 weeks). It is obvious that she did it.

I can't imagine a mature adult with a stable, upper middle class income failing to take responsibility like this. I know I would spend quite a bit of money to not carry that type of shame for being such a lowlife; ergo, the woman has no shame. It probably isn't an expensive repair (I don't know because I didn't fix it: I just reach under the dashboard and move the shifting cable by hand). If you can't tell the truth about small stuff, you aren't gonna be honest about things that actually matter.

I forgot to mention: she's stupid, too. She was saving a lot of money by buying sawdust at the sawmill instead of bagged sawdust at the feedstore. Just doing the right thing and paying to repair the truck would save her money over time. We all have triple A, they would have towed it to the transmission place for free.

The Democrats went down to Georgia
They was looking for a seat to steal
They were in a bind
Cause of George Soros’s mind
and they had $ 25 million to make a deal.
When he came across this rookie politician
with a Twitter fiddle and the keyboard hot
and the Democrats jumped up on a Chuck Schumer stunt
and said Boy let me tell you what
I guess you didn’t know it but I’m a Twitter fiddled too
and if you care about Hillary’s hair I’ll make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good Twitter fiddle boy
But give the Democrats their due
I’ll bet a keyboard of gold cause we’ve got the media controlled so they’ll think were better than you
The rookie said my name is Donny and Hillary is full of sin
but I’ll take your bet you’re gonna regret because I’m the best there has ever been
Donny polish your keyboard and play that Twitter hard
Cause Hillary’s down in Georgia and the bodies they discard.
And if you win you get this shiny keyboard made of gold
But if you lose the Democrats get our soul
the Democrats opened up their case and said I’ll start this show
And fire flew through the tv screens as they told every lie they know.
and they put their people out there and they made an evil hiss
and a lot of Democrat demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the Democrats finished Donny said well you’re pretty good old son
But sit right there in a court house chair and I’ll show you how it’s done.
No Paris Climate Agreement get Keystone done
Travel ban picking out radicAl Muslims
Does Hillary give a Haitian a bite to eat. no child no

the Democrats bowed their head because they knew that they’d been beat
and they knew that Pizzagate wasn’t just about what they eat.
Donny said “Democrats just come on back If you ever want to try again. I told you once Hillary is a witch and I’m the best there has ever been.

Well, at least one precinct down there was able to provide a safe space for the damaged-dem losers.

Complete bull squeeze. His ads were full of lies and half-truths about her history. Nothing civil about them.

The heavily-funded Crown prince Ossoff lost by an eye-popping five percentage points.......

In the parlance of delusional Democrats, this constitutes a “furious challenge?”

I think there still should be an audit of the vote to determine if some phantom ‘voters’ didn’t send in their ballot with a California postmark.
