Not Voting For The Republican Senate Candidates In Georgia Is Stupid (Tell em Colonel!!!)
Townhall.com ^ | December 7, 2020 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 12/07/2020 3:18:13 AM PST by Kaslin

Let’s not beat around the bush – the idea that somehow it’s a genius, 5-D chess strategy to punish the Democrats for cheating in the last election by handing them the next election (and the Senate) by boycotting the Georgia run-offs is so transcendently dumb that it’s awe-inspiring. It’s really remarkable not only in how absolutely idiotic it is, but how it also manages to combine substantive foolishness with doing exactly what the liberals want done.

Make Chuck Schumer smile by teaching the GOP some unspecified lesson. Good plan.

Yeah, I get that the last election was so riddled with irregularities that it will be a lasting stain upon our history. I worked for the president in Nevada – you don’t need to tell me because I was there (until I caught COVID). But the idea that we protest this injustice by allowing a bunch of communists to steal the Senate is a bridge of stupidity too far.

To those of you with any common sense, this rant is not aimed at you. You get it. You understand that we don’t always win, and sometimes it’s unfair. You understand that like any large group of individuals, some people in the GOP will disappoint us and will sometimes make us mad. You understand that despite its myriad failings (which readers of my columns have heard plenty about), the GOP has managed to stop most (though not all) of the obnoxious establishment initiatives intended to turn us into serfs. And you understand that the answer to a setback is a counter-attack, except against the enemy instead of our own side.

And you understand that the answer to a setback is a counter-attack, except against the enemy instead of our own side.

But to those of you who are pushing this notion, you’re being stupid and you need to stop.

Fortunately, I don’t think there are that many of the shoot-your-own-foot clique out there. You see a few on Twitter, but they are greatly outnumbered by people saying “Of course we vote for our own side – duh!” The proponents you see are often clearly liberal bots assuming we are dumb enough to fall for their scam, and many of the genuine dummies are not even from the Peach Tree state. As for the high-profile people pushing this idea, some have backed-off, and you have to wonder if the few alleged conservatives still backing this idiocy are motivated by greed, malice, or free-falling IQs.

If you are boycott-curious, let me be clear: I don’t care if you are frustrated or upset. Not at all. Grow up. Man up. And win this run-off outside the margin of fraud. I am so tired of the teenage daughters of the conservative movement shouting “It’s so unfair!’ and slamming their bedroom doors and writing bad poetry about their feelz in their dream journals while listening to My Chemical Romance.

Your feelings mean nothing. All there is is winning.

“But we can’t win because of krakens and the CIA raids in Stuttgart, like some washed-up retired major said, and it’s got to be true because @MAGAJesus2587, who has prayer and flag emojis in his bio, tweeted it and he said we should write in Trump’s name because reasons and that’ll show those RINOs!”

Well, @MAGAJesus2587 is actually a gender studies major with a nose ring from Connecticut named Kaden who is laughing at you for buying into this nonsense.

He – okay, I’m assuming its gender – is laughing at you.

And xe should, because if you buy his crap you are a sap.

“Kurt, you’re so mean!”

No, Kurt is so going to treat you like an adult, and he is not going to tell you what you want to hear, and instead he is going to tell you what you need to hear, whether you like it or not, all the while referring to himself in the third-person.

“Kurt, you’re just an ahoy Never Trump shill who’s been bought by Mitt Romney!”

And if you are too stupid to learn my bio before you run your pie-hole, you are too dumb for me to talk to and you should stop reading my column now and go check out the folks who are more your speed at PatriotMAGATruthAndStuff.com, which will explain that if only the GOP would order the Grand Marshal of the Supreme Court to declare martial law and invoke Executive Order No. 28256-69, then the Delta Force, the Avengers, and the Bay City Rollers will arrest all the traitors, send them to Gitmo, and declare Trump Emperor For Life.

I am so tired of stupidity. Here’s some steamin’ hot truth, and anyone who doesn’t like it, well, too bad:

Election contests are largely about mundane and routine shenanigans like failing to verify votes and sending out mass ballots using bad voter lists. And election contests are hard to win for many reasons – short timeframes to build cases, the fact that people hide actual fraud, and the fact any judge will do anything he can to avoid picking the winner of an election. You can be right – and I think Biden likely won via irregularities – and still lose. Welcome to the real world.

But we are not doomed – unless you choose to be dumb. In Georgia, the GOP Senate candidates got more votes than the Dems. They won, just not by enough to win without a run-off. So, the idea that, “Well, they’ll just cheat and we’ll lose” is misguided because they cheated last time and we still beat them. We can win outside the margin of fraud. We just can’t do it if pouting whiners sit home muttering about how they are mad cuz things didn’t go their way last time.

The Murder Turtle Mitch McConnell is already on the job. He knows what happened in November and his minions will be watching in January. His crew of cutthroats are flooding Georgia with lawyers and gathering poll watchers and count observers. Say, there’s a useful way to fight back – instead of whining like a little Mitt, volunteer!

And yeah, the GOP is a constant disappointment of a level not seen since the last Bulwark writer’s wedding night. But life – at least for adults, which we conservatives are supposed to be – is about choices. Here are your choices: vote for the people who will tick you off sometimes but who will stop court-packing, gun-banning and making you pay off the student loan of every pinko weasel with a Marxist Mime master’s degree, or the people who hate you and who will pack the court, ban your guns, and make you pay off the student loan of every pinko weasel with a Marxist Mime master’s degree.

Pick one. And picking neither is picking the Democrat.

Committing ritual suicide is not going to teach the GOP anything, except that if we do it then we will be teaching everyone that we really are as dumb as the liberals think we are.

Now I’m wondering if the two Senate seat vote totals were screwed around with.

"Now I’m wondering if the two Senate seat vote totals were screwed around with."

I think they were. Just a gut feeling at this point. I also feel the same about some of the other down ballot races throughout the US. Especially in MI.

Likely so in the Perdue-Ossoff race.

The other seat was a special election concurrent with rhe general election. It was a jungle primary with something like 21 candidates, including two prominent Republican ones. GA requires 50% plus one vote to win an election. This race was always going to come down to a runoff.

What the jungle primary decided was that it would be Loeffler vs. Warnock, and not Doug Collins against Warnock.

Lots of people not from GA have gotten this wrong because they didn’t understand the above. Kurt is far from alone here.

WELL SAID, KURT!

And no doubt this will be wildly unpopular with FreeRepublic's very own "Burn it all down! Let's start CW2 by shooting ourselves in both feet!" contingent.

Actually, better word choices for "contingent" might be ... "Wrecking Crew" ... "Fifth Column" ... "Useful Idiots" ... "Soros Puppets" ...

Two of those four *will* be going to the Senate in January.And if either of the Rats go to DC you know that they'll be voting with filth like Schumer.

As imperfect as they may be neither of the Republicans would do so.If you don't vote for the lesser of two evils you *will* get the greater.

"DU trolls?"

To tell the truth, I've been SERIOUSLY wondering whether there are some long-term Sleeper trolls from DU becoming active in FR lately ..... trolls, perhaps even paid for their efforts, who have been lying in wait to come out at the moment when they can do the maximum damage by splitting the conservative movement at a super-critical time when unity is needed in two very close races that will determine whether Marxists control every lever of power in this country for generations.

Here's a post I made last week, that was never responded to by either of the Freepers I called out:

Well now, ain't that interesting?

Mister "Give the Dems control of the US Senate now!!" JonPreston, and his Amen Chorus partner Jane Long both joined within 8 days of each other over 12 years ago.

Longterm Freeper "Sleeper Moles" ready to burst out and do the most damage at critical junctures?

Or just another coincidence?"

Could of course be that I'm just being paranoid. But the closeness in the two join-dates was a red flag.

Now would you look at that? As I was in the middle of writing that last post, this same JonPreston character I mentioned is posting his latest "Boycott The Runoff" sedition right here.

I'll bet if you search for his posts, you'll find he's dropped his crap all over every thread related to the GA runoff.

Schlichter is playing 0-D chess. He is conveniently leaving the issue of vote fraud. Many are suspicious why GoP establishment is trying to minimize it. It is your ranting which is idiotic. Perhaps you are as dumb as us.

Kurt gets it right, as he almost always does.

Good man, Kurt.

Are you sure they can win if vote fraud scheme is intact? Is this an idiotic question for you?

I think people in GA should actively vote.

But I’d like to know what extra steps are being taken to make sure that less stealing happens this time. If it’s just Nov 3 all over again, the outcome seems predictable.

I assume they were, and further that the runoff would not be called for if the election contest had been conducted legally.

You must participate in the illegal and rigged election contest, otherwise you don't have any right to complain about the outcome.

Asking the candidates to question the outcome of the November 3 election is a bridge too far. Just get out and vote, vote vote like your life depends on it, because it does.

They'll fix it later, they promise.

Nothing these people say is credible.

Wow, this post of yours is a first for me .... to witness someone posting a question to themselves, in this case one that reads: "Is this an idiotic question for you?"

Hmm. Maybe this is an example of "(-1)D Chess"?
