Quote History

Quoted:
I live in Douglas County which was a quiet fairly rural part of the metro not long ago, it has undergone a huge demographic shift over the last 10 years. Black candidates for public office were imported from Fulton and Dekalb and were embraced by the black residents based solely on race. Now we have all the lovely problems that go along with minority governance, homeless numbers are way up, crime is way up, empty stores, litter.

I went to an event for my friend's charity there, I joked with him and asked if the next event was going to be in Clayton County.

It's a race to the bottom at this point.

Yep, time to start taxing them. What does commiefornia tax the film industry at? Add 10% more. Note just the film industry.

While in college, Stacy Abrams burned the GA state flag on the steps of the capitol building.

I voted today, Paulding County.

The polling station was moderately busy. There was a line but moved quickly.

I was concerned at the number of Obama voters present. Paulding has been undergoing a demographic shift in the past decade. It's only a matter of time before Paulding County goes blue.

Quoted:
Is the "yard sign count" still a valid measuring stick? If so I still say Kemp wins bigly. It must be ten to one in favor of Kemp. I drove from Acworth to Lagrange the other day and it was Kemp everywhere.

Eta for the guys voting early, don't they only count early and absentee votes after the main votes are counted, and only if the difference between candidates is beyond a certain percentage?

View Quote

I was down in West Atlanta on Sunday, and there was no shortage of the blue Abrams signs in neighborhoods there. Less than 30 miles away, where I live, it's all Kemp signs.

He did some "interesting" stuff during the primary that they are really beating him up with during this election in the commercials.

I'm hoping for "not Abrams"

It would help if kemp actually acted like he wanted to win. For every Kemp commercial I see 50 Abrams commercials. Kemps commercials do nothing to address the distortions and lies in the Abrams ones.

For the record there are more white liberals than black people that vote - in the real world. You would think a site that complains about their liberal sjw relatives that they don't get along with would have figured this out by now.

Anyone with anything above room temp IQ will vote Kemp over this cow. Unfortunately, GA has massive amounts of room temp IQ voters in Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, etc. Oh and lets not forget Savannah.
That said, I think her chances are lessening by the minute...

I am worried that fraud in Atlanta might...…..well...…...might allow her to win.

Without fraud my guess is still that Kemp wins.

Abrams defends flag-burning protest of Confederate symbol in 1992

Stacey Abrams’ campaign confirmed she participated in the burning of the Georgia state flag bearing the Confederate battle emblem during a protest at the Capitol more than 25 years ago, as images circulated on social media that injected a new debate in the race for governor.

The Democrat’s campaign said it was part of a “permitted, peaceful protest” against the Rebel insignia, and her supporters hoped the news would help further motivate her voters to surge to the polls. She’s relying on a range of new voters, many of them minorities, for her bid to become the nation’s first black female governor.

If you're in Georgia, I hope you're registered to vote.

I read the reports on it. Abrams is something like $200,000 in debt to the IRS, student loans & other things. She blew it off like it was nothing.

She didn't say it last night but she earlier called for the complete removal of the Stone Mtn monument. WTF?

She's also calling for a Govt-ran health care system. You know, the same efficiency that the DMV has............

She seems to be the usual "free shit for everyone!" type of libtard, IMO. Hates guns too, no doubt.

She's calling for several anti-gun measures.

She wants a state AWB.

Repeal of several recent pro-gun laws (expanded carry rights, campus carry).

Background checks on private sales.

Seizure of guns from people accused (not convicted) of certain crimes.

Currently, a stolen gun used in a crime is returned to the rightful owner after it is no longer needed as evidence. This is "putting crime guns back on the streets" according to Abrams. She wants them destroyed instead.

It's crazy to think that someone is running on a socialist, anti-gun ticket in Georgia. Because she's black, she'll lock up that vote merely because of her skin color. We can only hope that Republicans will come out and out vote the liberals. Georgia did go for Trump in 2016.

Sadly we still have butthurt Cagle supporters floating around who won’t vote for Kemp. I’d say that’s a small number but at this point every single republican needs to vote for Kemp. I think he’ll win by a few points in the end but it’s going to be too close for comfort.

Not defending Carter at all but that was 42 years ago, much has changed since then. The democrats of that era weren't near as radical as the current crop, the demographics were much different as well. Carter had not matured into the full blown socialist he turned out to be yet either.

How is that known other than exit polling or speculation? If it is being reported by the AJC it is probably an attempt to get the D's to get out and vote. If it is being released by the SOS office Abrams will claim it to be manipulation and suppression. I'll wait for the 11/06 results with my fingers crossed.
