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

Posted on 06/20/2017 7:11:09 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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.....

I guess that means this race ISN’T a “referendum on Trump”...

Kellyanne Conway tweeted last night, that it appears the Dems were right. This race WAS a referendum on POTUS.

Ha!

One of the comments at Breitbart:

“GreyWarrior59 Johnny • 2 hours ago

First time poster here. I do not usually engage, but in this case, it is time more of us spoke out. Against leftist transgressions, deflections, projections, and outright lies and treason. I did serve our great Nation, so I feel compelled to not sit quietly anymore. The subversives I was trained to guard against, have surfaced in the form of the DNC. How did that happen??

I know what I see.

They are trying a bloodless coup.

I have sat and watched this all go on, for 2 years now, since an outsider entered the fray to be President. I have some points I would like to make. My wife and I have watched all the rally’s, all the video there is during and after the election. My observations are that:

A. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

B. If it is not, then it certainly is a Marxist/Communist/Alinsky led effort.

C. The party of JFK has left the building. They are somewhere left of Mao, and Stalin

D.The open borders Islamisation of America is a concerted effort by the left, and Globalists, of whom I did not know much about, until recently.They are diametrically opposed in beliefs about certain, shall we say, perversions, in which case I refer to point A.

E. Laws are only for little people, no matter what side of the aisle an elitist parks their fat, self absorbed, thieving, lying and righteous ar$es.

F. Hollyweird has gone completely insane, save and except certain individuals, and those are the ones who came from modest means, and knowwhat it is like to have nothing. They zip it.

G. Our Republic is at a serious crossroads. The very people who our Founders warned us against, are here. Now. On the MSM shows, in our Government. Our education, from the bottom on up. They inhabit some of our largest City’s. (1 thing I do notice is that these malcontents DO NOT try their violence in Red States, or Conservative areas. Coincidence?)

F. The FBI and our intelligence apparati have abandoned the principles upon which they were founded for said subversive
leftist/Communist/Socialists.

G. If the right does not play dirty as the leftist traitors do, then the right is doomed to keep on keeping on, this charade of bull puckey.

H. If the leftists think in all their stupidity, that somehow, the American patriots will allow a fairly and duly elected President to be taken down over Commie lies, they are truly more delusional than I have thought. They are further, more delusional if they think, they can scare us into bending over, or shoot afew here and there, and the right will sit quietly. And do absolutely nothing.

I. The left is outnumbered, and outgunned, and most
Vets/Military/LEO’s, are right swinging voters. The thought they possess, about a takeover, is like the old saying, “ You are writing checks with your mouth, that your body can’t cash”.

J. RINO’s are spineless jellyfish, useless fools for the leftists. See “ Songbird “, and “ Miss Lindsey “.

In summation, it has become a banana republic gong show in DC, these people are all afraid of the light that will be cast on the things they do in the dark, and that includes darn near all of them, both sides of the spectrum. A bunch of career criminals that do not play by the very rules they write. These rats make the Mafia look like Sunday school choirboys. At least the Mob had rules and a sense of duty, and honor.

I know many people, even myself, are fiercely patriotic. I have seen enough to sit here, and type all of this out. More of us need to stand the %^&* up. I am fed up with these traitors.

The LEFT has turned DC into a clown circus. This Country is in peril. Because of these liberals.”

South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District. 28% African American.

Sad that so many only vote democrat without really seeing how that keeps them down, imho. While 28% isn’t a majority, in special elections, turnout is lower, and every little bit helps. The dems ran an overlooked but expensive campaign there to get out the black vote, knowing they wouldn’t be voting Republican.

It was money ill-spent, as it turned out!

>>Not to be a kill joy on a good evening, but what’s with the close win in SC? I thought that would be a cake walk.

There’s a highly contagious leftist plague in the South, and it’s being spread by carpetbaggers from the northeast, the far west, and the deserts of the southwest. Those who can afford it, move to gated enclaves and operate as community organizers to infect the native population. I have in-law relatives from New England doing exactly that.

I see that sort of thing thrown around here a lot. What, precisely, do you not like about Handel?

Trump supported her, by the way.

Do you not like that she balanced Fulton County’s budget when on the county commission? It was completely out of whack due to Dem mismanagement, and she got to 4 to pass her reforms to avoid a tax increase.

Do you not like that she cut budgets as GA Secretary of State?

Do you not like that as GA Secretary of State, she fought Eric Holder in the courts over Voter ID?

Do you not like that she is pro-Life?

And finally, what have YOU done lately besides gripe on Free Republic without specifics about a candidate who, while not particularly charismatic, has quite a good resume?

I must confess that I know nothing about Handel, and was assuming that the poster who labeled her a RINO was on target. You’re pointing out that my assumption was wrong, and I’m happy to hear that.

So happy for GA! So happy for America.

I’m not sick of winning yet! Most likely never will be! :)

There’s a lot of that sort of thing going around. Let’s not eat our own.
