Having lived through months of the campaign, my phone ringing off the hook and the zillions of dollars being spent I offer some observations dripping with irony:

1. Misogyny of conservatives - huh.....I thought Shillary lost because of women hatred and yet Karen Handel not only beat a male opponent (more of a metrosexual but male nonetheless) but she outerperformed Trump in GA-06 by almost 3%.  Or to put it another way, both Shrillary and Handel outperformed pajama boy Ossoff in the district.  Tsk, tsk....where were the members of the he man woman haters club anyway?!?!?  

2.  Moolah in politics - as Trump did in the general election, Handel won despite being significantly outspent.  I know this will be lost on left wing nuts, but maybe its ideals and ideology that win elections and not cash.  I can assure you Nancy Pelosi would win her district in San Fransissy if she were outspent 20 to 1.  She simply has the same political views as her constituents.  Imagine that, winning an election based on policy views.  I only hope they continue to not get it and embrace the ideas of left wing nuts like Obozo and the geriatrics Bernie, Nancy, Chuckie, Lewis, et al.

3. Trump Derangement Syndrome - so this was supposed to be a referendum on Trump and his presidency and yet it once again failed. Given they also lost in SC yesterday that makes them 0 for 4 in special elections held since Trump was elected.  Yes, yes, I know, some of them were much closer than they should have been so Trump must be a drag on the party, right?  I suppose they can take some comfort in that aspect but one has to ask the question, when will Dems start to win again?  Either way, it appears that running a campaign based on Trump hatred is a recipe for continued losses.  I know its all the buzz inside the beltway and liberal bastions like coastal CA and NYC but not so much in the rest of the country and thankfully not in GA-06.

4. But FoxNews is evil - gee, I thought the GOP was only successful because of the lies and bias of "Faux" News.  And yet while Fox is cratering because of the stupid decisions of the Murdoch pajama boy sons and CNN and pmsnBS are ascendant Dems continue to lose. Ironic that in a time of Fox losing viewers the GOP continues to win.

5. No longer a belleweather election - I became much more optimistic as I watched the govt media complex and the Dem leadership start to walk back the idea that this was a portender of the future prospects of Dems taking over the House in 2018 so they can finally impeach Trump.  Ironic isn't it that this was only a belleweather election when they thought pajama boy was going to win.....not so much as the polls tightened and the early voting results came in and did not favor an Ossoff win.

So despite an all out full court press by Democrats I am happy and proud to say that the voters of GA-06 were way too smart to fall for Ossoff's lies, rejected the nauseating concept that Nancy Pelosi would once again be speaker of the House and rejected all the Hollyweird libtards telling us how to vote.  We don't share their values, their politics or their failed ideology and we reject their blatant hypocrisy.  But hey, thanks for all the cash and the free uber rides to vote.  It was boost to our economy and we always appreciate left wing nuts sending us wheel barrels full of cash.

Funny story. I got a text yesterday from the Ossoff campaign offering me a special uber code to use to get to the polls.  Here is my reply verbatim, "Excellent.  A cheap ride to vote for Karen Handel.  I'm telling all my friends who are going to vote for her to use the promo code.  Thanks Democrats!"  Still waiting on a response.

You are much more astute at evaluating the current political atmosphere than I am, and your comments above are stimulating, enjoyable to read, and hits the "snowflakes" with a "blast" of hot wind that is melting them away. Keep up the good woek!

Just happy to see that 20 million dollars of pressure against the dam didn't break it.

The GA06 special election was not bought.  Warm and fuzzy pajamas to me.

It's just nice to know that "money" didn't persuade the people who believe in the "Constitution" and want to "Make America Great Again" to change their vote. Again, they didn't buy into the "lies" that Assoff was circulating during his campaign.

I guess they bought into her lies instead just like you bought into Trump's lies. Not really much different.

Goofy:  Had she said she wanted to impeach Trump, would vote for Pelosi as leader, wanted big government and higher taxes, wanted unfettered access to abortion with federal funds, supported Obamacare and believes in unfettered immigration she indeed would have been lying and would have lost.  The fact is her political views are aligned with the majority of voters in GA-06.  Ossoff lied his oss off about what he really believes to try to attract more support and win the election.  We saw through his lies and rejected him.  Do you really think if he actually believed much of what he said on the campaign trail and in his ads that he would have gotten the tens of millions from left wing nuts outside Georgia?  They knew he was lying through his teeth and that Handel wasn't, hence their support of him and not her.

Critical thinking.....give it a try some time.

So, using critical thinking...he lied like Trump but didn't lie enough to get elected. Now, I understand. Thanks.

Now, now, pay closer attention to what I actually said.  I know you love to put words in my mouth but I have never stipulated that Trump lied to get elected.  Fact is, the main reason why Dems are trying to facilitate a coup with the fake collusion and obstruction nonsense is their fear that he will actually do what he said he would do.  Heck, if he lied so much then they should love him as President because he would be implementing their agenda.  But he isn't so they aren't.  Trump is trying to implement many of his campaign promises which is why he is so feared and loathed by the left.  He hasn't been able to follow through on all of them....no president can.  

Ossoff lied about what he was going to do if he got elected to Congress.  We saw through those lies and voted for Handel.  So did his supporters.....or they never would have voted for him.  You see, critical thinking actually has to start with reading comprehension......ask your govt school for a refund Goofy, they have failed you.

"He hasn't been able to follow through on all of them....no president can."  He hasn't followed thru on any of them to date. No wall, no beautiful cheaper health plan, hasn't stopped immigration form the 6 countries, was going to lock up Hillary.... Now, he has to lawyer up and can't sleep nights. His AG Session just hired a lawyer. Power has corrupted the Right. Too bad, cause I was hoping for better results from the GOP. A bunch of simple minded liars.

Goofy, two words for you.  Neil Gorsuch.  That alone was worth my vote for Trump and when Kennedy retires we will have another solid strict constructionist to replace him.  But he has done so much more but you get all your news from left wing nut sources so it is understandable that you are so ignorant.

Here's an abbreviated list:

Illegal immigration down 67%

U.S. debt down by $100B (Obozo increased it by $560B by this time in his first term)

NATO nations have increased their own defense spending by $10B

He has signed 66 EO's, etc. covering a wide range of conservative issues and vacating a number of Obozo's prior EO's.

He has nominated a number of solid conservatives to lower courts with many more to come

He has presided over the significant fattening up of your retirement accounts unless you stupidly went to cash

More to come on many fronts, including tax reform, repeal and replacement of Obamacare, restoring our military from 8 years of neglect, etc.  Just be patient, the processs is working with the House and Senate and more good stuff to come.  By the way, last response to your changing the subject.  Let's get back to Dems not winning anything anywhere.

I don't know why it is that your favorite pastime is calling people liars. President Trump is succeeding regardless of all the Democrats in Congress doing absolutely lnothing to support meaningful legislation in reaction to the desires of the electorate, the corrupt news media that fulfills your hangup on liars, and the "plants" that are being sent in to town hall meetings of Republicans who try to hold meetings with their constituents. Also, what about Shumner and all the Democrats ranting and raving about the secrecy of GOP meetings on Healthcare? You seem to have a "short" memory when it comes to the "secrecy" in which "Obama Care" was promulgated and the advice that "you have to read it to find out what is in it", as well as the  method used by the Supreme Court that alllowed it to be encted into law.                                On another note, I listened to Karen Handel's acceptance speech as she spoke with elegance and class as she responded to those who elected her, something which Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton, and oh yes "Madonna" and other women on the left are unable to do. I challenge you to listen to Karen Handel's acceptance speech, and in so doing doing tell me why anyone would "object" to having her as their Representative in Congress. If you are not willing to do that, I suggest that you should not offer anymore comments regarding her outstanding qualifications for the job the "people" of Georgia and "not" California elected her to fill.

"It's "past" time for liberals to acknowledge that their party lost the election and that they are responsible to fulfill the duties which they were elected to perform. They should realize that if they worked in the private sector they would no longer be enployed. The American taxpayers are sick and tired of paying for their "cry baby" nonsense. I go on record of using one of thier favorite acronyms and refer to them as a POS!!!!!!!"

Since Mr Civility connsiders all libs to be POS, I fail to understand why you are surprised that I consider Trump to be a liar.

You have to be the worlds best at responding to one "minute" part of a post and avoiding and avoiding anything else that has been mentioned for discussion. You call Karen Handel a liar, but apparently you turned down my "challenge" to listen to her acceptance speech and identify any part of it that is not good for America and what part of it makes her a liar.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Since you can't seem to accept any part of what the Republicans are trying to do for the American people, please tell me what you or the Democrats are looking for Congress to pursue during the next three and a half years.

Answer is simple more investigations into Russia Collulsion and eventually attempt to get rid of Trump.

http://www.wnd.com/2017/06/judges-acts-quickly-on-claim-comey-obstructed-justice/?cat_orig=us

uh oh Comey has another hearing friday about NSA spying and did not do his job to investigate.....

The lawsuit seeks to stop the nation’s “intelligence agencies” from continuing their “illegal and unconstitutional surveillance.”

Those actions, according to Klayman, were confirmed again recently in a report by Circa News.

The complaint also alleges Comey obstructed justice by “suppressing if not burying an FBI investigation into this illegal mass surveillance, which involved the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other justices, 156 judges, President Trump and his associates before he became president, and other prominent persons.”

Klayman said the “speed with which Judge Leon set this hearing is commendable, as each day that the government continues to conduct unconstitutional spying on Americans without probable cause creates grave harm to not just the victims, but our republic.”
