Perdue Now Says He Wouldn’t Have Certified Georgia’s Election If He Was Governor

Former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) would like everyone to know that unlike his rival Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), he would’ve taken things into his own hands following President Trump’s bogus claims of a “stolen” 2020 presidential election were he governor at the time.

Is it me or are the Republicans ramping things up early? Its like Tucker, he is basically now a voice for Russia and it is pretty apparent. All those old Cold War warriors out there that watch Fox must be confused as hell. Meanwhile the Republicans are grifting so hard they will end up with a groin injury. Their push to create uncertainty in the elections is incredibly transparent. While everyone is getting tense, I am sensing so are they, being really worried about outrunning something again. Possibly trying to create so much noise that we do not notice that the anniversary of the insurrection is just a tick off of a month away?

What an ass kisser. And kissing the ring of the Orange Menace. This is a sorry group of R’s who have no moral core.

“George W Bush lied America into a disastrous war in Iraq”, Donald Trump 2/13/2016 at a Republican Presidential debate with Lindsey Graham on stage with Trump.

That is nobody, as 99% of Republicans did, could support both the Jr. Bush and Donald Trump without admitting that foreign policy is meaningless to how they vote.

Rather, the only reason to be a Republican is that your group, or more accurately the group you want to belong to, has power. Or to put another way, the overwhelming support for Donald “grab her by the …” Trump proves that “values” in front of the word voter is and has always been code for race.

Or, as Stewart Stevens put it in his book about the Republican Party titled ‘It was all a Lie’,

“When a party stands for nothing, it is only natural that it will be taken over by the loudest and angriest voices in the room.”

Perhaps he should file some frivolous lawsuits against rando officials, just to get ahead of the game

Not with the information that was available at the time and not with the information that has come out now. They had plenty of time to investigate this. And I wouldn’t have signed it until those things had been investigated and that’s all we were asking for,

c’mon eight o’ clock

Remember when the R party used to howl about frivolous lawsuits?

Perdue is pretty well unelectable, no matter what the early polling says.
He and Kemp (and TFG) will trash each other so much that Stacey Abrams is going to be seen as a good choice and the likely winner.

Just so it’s clear, Perdue won his November election.

Perdue is now talking shit, because the 50 + 1 law that stopped Ossoff in the House race, is the reason why Ossoff is now Georgia’s senior senator.

That said, c’mon eight o’ clock.

I’m trying to celebrate Abraham Erskine’s birthday and yet…

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but the Georgia election was recounted “by hand.” That is the actual paper ballots were counted by hand. In fact, Raffensberger jumped one step in the audit process and went directly to a hand recount, when one wasn’t required. The hand recount confirmed the machine counts. Then they did it again. And again the hand counts confirmed the machine counts.

I would ask Perdue about this specifically.

Side note: before Perdue was tossed into a January runoff; he and Georgia Republicans were confident in that November CNN exit poll.

That is actually surprisingly good news for Kemp. I would have expected the 41/22 numbers to flip after the “education” about who supports who. Looks like this primary race will indeed be quite a brawl.

But this is how Trump keeps control of the GOP, by destroying Republicans who are not 100% under his control.

Or as Frank Herbert put it in Dune, “the power to destroy a thing gives you total control over that thing.”

Trump is sending a message to all Republicans, cross me in the slightest and I will see you defeated even if it means electing Stacey Abrams governor of Georgia.
