For me to ask and plead that ya'll not sit this election out. Please go vote for Deal and even more importantly Perdue.
Nope, Nathan Deal is not my perfect Governor. Nope, David Perdue will most certainly not be my perfect Senator. BUT, in no world, including a bizarro world, will Carter or Nunn be better; and in the case of Nunn she will be quite harmful to the 2nd Amendment. She is an anti-gunner, and will take an activist roll if she gets to the Senate. I vote in Fulton county, I was in and out of the early voting booth in ten minutes. Ten! As a side note, I know we'll be reading the "I'm tired of voting for Republican candidates who are marginally better than the Democrat" or "I've just checked out, it doesn't make a difference" Well it does make a difference, if the house and Senate didn't have just enough Pro-2nd Amendment folks in 2013 we'd all be hiding our 30 Rd mags and in the beginning stages of gun registration. So it does make a difference. C'mon, put your money where your mouth is and vote. Rant off… |
| I'll vote for Perdue but no way in hell will I vote again for the corrupt Deal. If y'all knew how truly corrupt he was (doesn't get reported by media at all unfortunately, the little ethic violations that did make it in the media is just scratching the surface) then y'all would feel the same way. |
|
I'd says Deal has been pretty good to us gun owners this year....HB60. He also popped up on Daniel Defenses FB page this week holding an AR. That's right - he risked his life by touching an evil black rifle. Purdue is a bit of an unknown, but he defeated a career politician to get to this point and Nunn needs to disappear like a fart in the wind. There are no perfect candidates, but there are some really bad ones that I don't want in office.
FYI - Cherokee early voting at the Woodstock library tomorrow. |

| I don't know about all the allegations, and unless he has been sanctioned, convicted by 12 or indicted on actual charges, it is just typical political mud slinging, He signed HB60 and I don't think a person here believes Jason Carter would have signed that bill. |

Quoted:
<snip> He signed HB60 <snip> It comes to this. We have limited choices so choose the best option on the table considering where they stand on your gun rights. Today we have sbrs, suppressors, fa, options, open carry, conceal, just about everything. A Dem will fight to take these away. If you do not vote for that awful R choice on the table you are voting for the D-Bag party by default. If a Dem wins GA that fault is in the hands of gun owners who did not vote. May your powder get wet and your guns rust over. EDIT to add: Listen. Again. (Protect themselves against the tyranny in government............) <-------------------- Deal quoted that. Repeatedly quoted old heroes in our right to protect ourselves. Go vote you bastards. |
| I voted early in Cherokee and voted all Republican EXCEPT governor - I thought about it hard, looked at two bad choices, and voted for Carter as a vote against the current governor. I agree that Deal was a gun supporter. Simple for me in the end, look at who Deal appointed as the senior leader of the Georgia National Guard. |

I will settle for one pro-gun bill over any number of anti-gun bills. I could see Carter and Mayor Reed on the steps of gold dome talking about "common sense legislation" to reduce gun violence in Atlanta.....which spells gun control for those of us who abide by the law. |
I will definitely be holding my nose and voting for Deal & Perdue. 
HOWEVER, I will also, definitely, be voting Libertarian on: Insurance Commissioner (Metz), Public Service Commissioner (Monds), and Public Service Commissioner (Gilmer). I want to send a signal! I just don't want to cut my own nose off to do it. I feel this is the best way to let the Republican party know that they are losing ground, without hurting our own causes. 
I hope you'll all join me in trying to put a little fear in the Republican Party by voting for the Libertarian Party, in ALL those offices that don't really matter....

Too bad it seems the only people that run are the Country Club Republicans.

It is simple why we keep losing elections and get stuck with the "Nothing Worse then a Dumbocrat" time after time. It is DIRECTLY caused by the guys that don't vote for the Republican only because they think he is a crook or not up to THEIR standards. For you see, the low to no information voter votes Dumbocrat every time because it doesn't matter who they are, what they did, who they did it to, or what lies they are telling to get elected, because as long as they have a D after their name, the no information Voter is voting for them. At least by putting the thought into that the Republican is NOT your idea candidate but you are going to vote for him anyway because the Dumbocrat alternative is always worse, you have exercised your mind, and made your vote count even though it wasn't your ideal candidate and this prevents or equals out a vote from a person that knows nothing about any candidate and only votes for somebody because of a D. And those Republican, Librarians, or Conservatives that don't think your vote matters anyway, THINK AGAIN: In the 2000 presidential election, George W. Bush defeated Al Gore by only 537 votes out of over 100 million cast. In 2008, Minnesota Senator Al Franken defeated Norm Coleman by only 312 votes out of over 2.8 million cast. And in a recent state legislative race in Florida, the election was decided by only 2 votes out of nearly 12,000 cast. So don't use the cop out that your vote doesn't matter antway, it actually matters more today then it ever has due to how easy they have made it for the No Information Voter to vote! |

As for the media (in general - any situation (assuming it's something they are interested in reporting or bringing to light)), they can only report on what is leaked their way. If no-one is willing to throw them a bone, or become a whistleblower and lose their job, then the media stays in the dark.... Edit to add disclaimer: I already said I'm out (arguing on Deal vs Carter and who would be the most detrimental to the state as a whole (not just one single issue) so in no way does this statement on the media have anything to do with my personal opinion of Deal, et. al. |

I moved to this state to get away from libs but every year I see more and more infestation, personally I think
the days of legitimate elections ended 2 years ago, now it's just a stage act, I see Nunn signs everywhere I go and not a single Perdue sign, Deal signs the most aggressive pro gun legislation in the country and you still got members here saying they voted Nunn cause he's corrupt, amazing

I'm one of the "you're wasting your precious gas and time" yodelers, but I'll be voting. It hit me last night. Decrepit ole Sam Nunn bugling for his daughter was enough to motivate me, and while I nearly vomit at the thought of giving a check mark to Deal (being that he's from my immediate area), I can't stand idly by and let another Carter get a run in this state.
Keeping Nunn out may just give the Repubs a chance at dumping Ebolacare. |

Fiance and I voted yesterday (Dekalb). The majority of the group was senior citizens. Not sure what their swing would be, but I've always heard that Sunday voting was to promote the Black church go'ers to vote. Something about gathering votes after service with some Dems setting up rallies to caravan them to the polling.... |

I think the biggest issue that isn't a National Issue but should be one is Immigration and/or issuing 12 Million Work Permits to illegal aliens. Wages have not just been stagnate but have actually declined by an average of $3000 per worker since 2009. Increasing the labor pool is going to COST jobs, hurt the economy, increase the tax burden, and increase the burden on social services.
YOUR PERSONAL ECONOMIC FUTURE WILL DEPEND ON HOW YOU VOTE TOMORROW. HERE IS THE BIGGEST REASON TO VOTE TOMORROW RATHER THEN SIT THIS ONE OUT: "A nation’s first loyalty must be to its own citizens. But the immigration policies of President Obama and Congressional Democrats help only billionaire special interests, amnesty activists, and the citizens of other countries – while reducing jobs and pay for our own. Every single Senate Democrat voted for the Obama-backed plan to provide immediate work permits to 12 million illegal immigrants – allowing them to compete for any job in America. This legislation would also double the rate at which low-wage guest workers are brought into the U.S. to fill jobs throughout the economy. Further, the legislation would triple the rate of permanent immigration, giving lifetime work permits and citizenship to over 30 million immigrants over the next ten years. America already has the world’s most generous immigration policy. The foreign-born population is at record levels, quadrupling since 1970. Since 2000, the U.S. has issued nearly 30 million lawful visas to foreign guest workers and permanent immigrants. During that time, all net employment gains among the working-age went to immigrant workers. This large surplus of labor has also pulled down wages –family incomes are down more than $3,000 since 2009 alone. Harvard Professor Dr. George Borjas estimates that our current high immigration rates result in a wage loss of $402 billion every year for competing American workers. Imagine then what will happen if we double the supply of foreign labor. For many Americans, who will be pushed out of the workforce altogether, their wages will be reduced to zero. Democrats running for Senate pour millions into ads complaining special interests have too much influence. And yet every Senate Democrat candidate has voted for the crown jewel of the corporate lobbyist agenda: mass amnesty and uncontrolled immigration. Their plan is championed by open borders billionaires like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg – global CEOs who don’t think you’re entitled to the same protections their gates and fences provide them. In fact, these immigration lobbyists have so little regard for you, that they are meeting in secret with the White House right now to plan executive amnesty orders. These orders, planned for after the election, would implement, by executive fiat, the sweeping amnesty that was rejected by the Republican House. The planned order would include work permits for millions of illegal immigrants while substantially boosting the supply of new foreign labor– taking precious jobs directly from struggling Americans. Efforts by Republican Senators to block this illegal amnesty were repeatedly thwarted by Leader Harry Reid’s Senate Democrat majority. Immigration enforcement has already been decimated. Interior removals have plummeted more than 40% since 2009. Forty thousand illegal immigrant family members who had just recently crossed the border were released by the feds and failed, predictably, to appear in court. People just show up at the border and are simply released into the country – free to claim local benefits funded by U.S. taxpayers. Seventy percent of asylum applications show warning signs of fraud. ICE officers report that they are barred from enforcing immigration law against the millions who illegally overstay their visas – a number surging every single day. Internal DHS documents show that there are 167,000 convicted criminal aliens who were ordered deported but are at large in the U.S. and released from custody. The administration’s non-enforcement directives have placed almost the entire illegal immigrant and overstay population beyond the reach of law enforcement. The president’s own former ICE director explained: “If you are a run-of-the-mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero.” If the president’s promised executive amnesty goes through, we will functionally have open borders in America. But the citizens of this country, through their vote, have the power to stop it. The elite denizens of Washington and Wall Street scorn and mock the good and decent people of this country for wanting their laws enforced and their communities protected. They try to make you feel bad for having sensible and rational concerns about how uncontrolled immigration impacts your jobs, schools, neighborhoods, and community resources. After years of mass immigration, falling wages, and surging joblessness, isn’t it time we focused on the needs of the people living here today? Isn’t it time we got our own people back to work? But these cosmopolitan elites, these great citizens of the world, turn a blind eye to the suffering and poverty in their own backyards. These “Masters of the Universe” have forgotten that a nation owes its first loyalty to its own citizens. And they want you to believe that you can't win. But they are so wrong. And with your vote, you have the power to prove them wrong. You have the power to deliver a message they won’t forget." - Republican Jeff Sessions represents Alabama in the United States Senate. He is ranking member of the Budget Committee. |
