Been here for 27 years. I’m a carpet bagger. I tell my friends that are born and bred down here, that I’m more southern than any of them could ever dream of being.

My rant....Most of what is transpiring in Georgia started under Nathan Deal and has gotten exponentially worse under Kemp. Kemp is not a smart man. Not on any day of the week. His first primary for Governor, the guy he ran against was even more corrupt than he is.

Over the last few years I’ve been paying very close attention to what is happening in this state.

Do you know our history self-proclaimed carpet bagger?

The reason I ask is that if you did know some history, you would know there was only a handfull of Republicans in Georgia until the decade just before the turn of the millennium.   You would know that Nathan Deal was a Democrat until 1995.   You would know the reason he switched to the Republican Party.

He and others like him were a dime a dozen as Democrats, but he and others like him knew they could bypass the Democrat selection process by calling themselves Republicans, then getting a prime spot on the ballot.   Essentially that means every Republican Politician in Georgia is a RINO and those of us who have voted for them for decades knows it.

Newt Gingrich came down here with his parents from Pennsylvania and Paul Coverdell came from Iowa by way of Missouri.   Those two made the Republican Party acceptable.

I voted against the Democrat Socialist Stacey Abrams.   I still believe that Kemp is the lessor of the two evils.   I don't foresee a Galt's Gulch to find refuge.

So you don't misunderstand, I was one of the handfull.   I voted for Richard M. Nixon in '72 and am still proud I did, considering the opposition he ran against.

Bump, so did I. My first ballot cast for president. No regrets either.

“I voted for Richard M. Nixon in ‘72 and am still proud I did, considering the opposition he ran against.”

My sentiments, exactly. There is no way I wanted McGovern to be President or Abrams to be Governor.
