Yesterday was the special election to replace the vacant congressional seat in Georgia District 6. Republican Karen Handel easily won the set over Democratic challenger John Ossoff.
Prior to the election, the campaign of Karen Handel sent me several emails asking for donations for her election effort. On principle I didn’t sent any money because I don’t live in the district and I believe that the constituents should support the candidate of their choice and not be influenced by my “outside money”.
As to living in the district, John Ossoff couldn’t vote for himself yesterday because he doesn’t live in the district that he was planning to represent. I guess that doesn’t matter if you’re a Dem. There was a New York Dem senator whose last name started with a “C” and ended in “…linton” who didn’t live in the state of New York before she ran for office in that state.
Regarding “outside money”, it looks like Democrats don’t hold the same values as myself. They collectively pumped in $31,000,000.00 dollars to attempt to get Ossoff elected. Most of the money came from the People’s Republik of Kalifornia! There were some statistics that the bulk of the PRK moeny came from the Silicon Valley and Beverly Hills areas of the PRK. Rich tech billionaires and Hollyweird wealth.
The interesting part is that Ossoff received about 121,000 votes. I would guesstimate that 80% of those votes are hard core Dem that would vote along the party line. That leaves about 20% or 24,000 folks that are the so called swing voters. That works out to almost $1300.00 paid by the wealthy for each losing swing vote! Maybe Ossoff should have campaigned by saying, “F*** any platform, I’ll have my rich PRK backers give everyone who votes for me $1300 when I’m elected”.
That’s a lot of borscht to try and buy an election, using a Russian reference because of course only the Ruskies could possibly be behind any election manipulation!
