Cagle War


AJC, 6/15/18, page A-1 article “Cagle critics call on prosecutors to probe candidate”, taken together with several other AJC articles on the same subject got me thinking about what the AJC is attempting to do. 

The GOP Primary run-off is July 24 between Cagle and Kemp and daily attacks on Cagle in the AJC might be aimed at helping Kemp become the nominee. But why should a Democrat newspaper like the AJC even care.  The website titled “inkempetence.com” accuses Kemp of defaulting on loans, getting tax breaks and taking $2.5 million in crops from farmers and refusing to pay them. But the AJC isn’t covering the Kemp mud wrestling shenanigans.

In the GOP Primary election, Cagle got 236,371 votes, Kemp got 155.324 votes and other candidates got 216,179 votes. Total GOP votes were 607,874.

In the Democrat Primary election Abrams got 423,191 votes and Harris got 130,259 votes. Total Democrat votes were 553,450.

(In 2016) The certified ballot count of Georgia voters was an all-time high of 4,165,405 out of the 5,443,046 registered to vote. That amounted to a huge turnout of 76.53 percent in a year when the national voter turnout was a below-average 55 percent.

So, if we still have 5.5 million registered voters in Georgia in 2018, it looks like only 1.61 million came out for the 2018 Primaries. That’s about 30%.

There are lots of reasons for Georgia Republican voters to be wary of RINOs like Cagle and Kemp. They are 100% GOP “Establishment” politicians.  They are silent on real issues.  We can, however, expect them to follow Trump’s policies, but they would continue the State policies we currently suffer under.

Electing a Democrat to be Governor of Georgia would be a disaster. Democrats are no longer permitted to vary from the DNC narrative and that is pure socialism and globalism.
