My Dear America:
As I watched Republican Senator, Kelly Loffler "Debating" on CNN Sunday Night with her Senatorial Opponent, Democrat and Pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Raphael Warnock, I couldn't help thinking I had seen her before.
It took me awhile to remember where it was that I thought had seen her before.
Then it hit me.
I had seen her in a Movie called "The Stepford Wives." That was it. Like all of "The Stepford Wives," Kelly was long on hair and good looks and short on personality and original thought. Kelly had a very weird and phony looking smile on her face throughout the debate. While it was appropriate to smile at times, there were other times when serious topics were being discussed and her smiling was strangely inappropriate .
Loeffler appeared to be almost robotic throughout the debate as she repeated stock Republican talking point phrases over and over like her description of Reverend Raphael Warnock as a "Radical Liberal," a description she repeated so often that I lost count. She also threw the word "Socialist" around a lot and also accused Warnock of wanting to "Defund The Police." Warnock strongly defended himself from these seemingly baseless repeated charges.
Loeffler also had trouble with a question regarding whether or not she supported Georgia Governor, Brian Kemp, or Donald Trump in their dispute about who won the November Presidential Election race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in Georgia. Loeffler refused to say that Biden had won the election. She did not seem to want to commit to either Kemp or Trump but just kept repeating that Donald Trump was entitled to follow through on every legal avenue open to him. Loeffler would not commit to whether Trump won or lost the election to Joe Biden.
To my mind any thinking person would not vote for Kelly Loeffler but after all I am a "Radical Liberal" so what do I know about Georgia Politics.
On the other hand I was impressed with the debate performance of Raphael Warnock. I got the feeling that Reverend Warnock could definitely preach one heck of a "Come To Jesus" Sermon in Atlanta on any given Sunday. He did dodge a question about whether he would support Packing The Supreme Court but other than that he seemed to be willing to answer relevant questions honestly. Warnock made it clear that being the 11th of 12 children His priority was not going to be the Wall Street Corporate World but the Main Street World of the Poor and Middle Class Regular Americans.
The Devil Went Down To Georgia, He Was Lookin For An Election To Steal
The Night before the Senatorial Loeffler-Warnock Debate Donald Trump had come to Georgia supposedly to campaign for Republican Senate Candidates, Kelly Loeffler and David Purdue, whose elections held the key to whether Republicans or Democrats would control the United States Senate during the upcoming Biden Administration.
While Trump did actually mention the Candidacies of Loeffler and Purdue in his Georgia speech occasionally, unsurprisingly the two Senate Candidacies seemed to take a back seat to Trump's Grievances about how unfairly he felt he had been treated by Georgia State Officials in the Presidential Election Count. Trump made it clear to Georgians that he felt that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and the Georgia Secretary of State had treated President Trump terribly by not prostituting themselves and their state by actually refusing to lie about which Presidential Candidate won more votes in Georgia. Kemp had made it clear that although he personally supported Trump and voted for Trump, his state had voted for Biden by a substantial margin.
Certainly Governor Brian Kemp was not some Anti-Trump Democrat who had it in for Trump. Prior to the Presidential Election Republican Kemp had shown himself to be a certified Trump Supporter. Kemp had refused to mandate masks in the Covid Ravaged State that he had won in the Tainted Governor's Election Race with Stacy Abrams. Abrams had eventually conceded that very close election to Kemp. She had also made it clear that she felt that Kemp's questionable decimating the Democratic Voter Rolls as Secretary Of State making it difficult for voting in high black voter areas made his election extremely suspect, if not downright corrupt.
Loeffler had been left in a precarious position hanging between loyalty to Kemp, who had appointed her to the Senate after Georgia Senator Johnny Issackson had resigned due to health concerns, and Trump, whose agenda she had enthusiastically supported throughout her brief term in the Senate.
During the Sunday Debate The Stepford Senator was asked which side she was on, Kemp's or Trump's. The answer to that question seemed to be both of them. She did her best to avoid a choice between the two high powered Chief Executives.
Although Loeffler had a rough night on Debate Night in Georgia in the other scheduled Senatorial Debate the night before Trump came to town, only one of the two invited debaters had shown up. David Purdue had endured a tough time during an earlier debate with Democrat, Jon Ossoff, in which Ossoff accused Purdue to his face of being a "Crook" for using information he learned in the course of his Senate duties to sell stock that he knew was going to be devalued. Purdue did not look good in that early debate and in this last scheduled debate he refused to show up. Ossoff debated an empty podium. This made a very strange Debate night even stranger. The Stepford Senator had also unloaded stock that through her Senate seat she found out was going to be affected by Covid 19.
Time will tell how things will eventually play out in the Georgia Senate Race. Right now it certainly looks as though Georgia voters have been and will continue to be major players in the 2020 Presidential Election and in the upcoming Senate Runoff Election in Georgia.
Right now things have gotten even stranger in America with Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas initiating a suit against several states that were key to the Biden Presidential win, including Georgia, in an attempt to change the reality of Biden's election victory. Paxton is a man who is obviously fishing for a Pardon from Trump to protect him from a Federal investigation into charges of corruption. His desperate attempt to stymie the legitimate election of Joe Biden by having Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and Michigan Electors prevented from voting for Biden and turning the Elector selection over to the Republican led Senate is something that one might expect to happen in Russia but never in the United States of America.
This incredibly disgusting display of Political Insanity will end in January when we can all look forward to a hopefully boring and normal Biden Administration beginning. We just need to hope that after Trump's Incredibly Damaged Administration that it will be possible to get America back to being the most enduring Democracy in the world once again.
As Politicians are prone to saying, "God Bless The United States Of America."
Sincerely Yours
Jerry Gallagher
