Apparently many Republicans oppose abortion in all cases unless it’s to save the political life of the father. I guess they’re going to have to carry his campaign to term, even if it endangers the life of the party.
Tweet from Walker’s son:
I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us. You’re not a “family man” when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence.

Honestly the whole candidacy has been a disgrace.
The only reason to vote for Walker is to have a Republican vote in the senate. And sadly I would vote for him for that reason alone.
Trump alone screwed up Georgia’s senate seats. The asshole.

I guess the alternative is voting for an actual Christian minister or not voting, god forbid.
He’s still polling well enough. At the end of the day, the pro life party of family values and the folks who wagged their finger for decades and clutched their pearls turns out to have no integrity. I’m not really surprised.

Why should Christian minister come into play? Warnock’s politics are wrong, regardless of his ministry.
I am way past the personal values of a politician being the only reason to vote or not vote. At this point neither party has the moral high ground so gridlock is a better solution.

So we should root for Warnock because he is a minister? Even though he will rubber stamp every Biden policy that I believe will further hobble the US?
I think Walker will support policies to expand our energy sector, re-establish border security and effect rule of law on a single standard for ALL our citizens.
I do resent Trump’s arrogance. He has an ongoing disruptive effect on political development. That was exactly his appeal at the outset. He is past his “use by” date. Biden, however, is a blowhard with a 100% failed track record. He has cosistently done wrong for America. He is arrogant w/o accomplishment.
And Walker can be dismissed because his son is alienated from him? Then BT, I presume you are favorably disposed to Trump since all of his children are so loyal to him.
I might prefer a different candidate than Walker if I lived in Georgia and knew what the alternatives were. But at this point in his life he appears to come much closer to reflecting my policy preferences than that snake Warnock.

This is a pretty good summary of some reasons folks might vote for Walker.

How do you weigh Trump’s impact relative to the 2020 Covid voting process anomalies and the Abrams litigation re voter access?

😉 Yesssss, but doesn’t he have a niece and a sister who are perhaps ambivalent? Is one son more or less important than a sister and a niece? And how important that a son might call a step mom “a stupid cunt”? 😉
Only a fool would look to politicians for moral leadership. The fact that politicians descend to these arguments to gain votes simply highlights their fundamental dishonesty, no?

Absolutely, rjnwmill, and Reagan had a daughter that was harshly opposed to his persona. It’s sad that Walker and his son were apparently very close before Walker chose to flatly deny the allegations.
Bill Clinton was one of the best arguments against relying on politicians as avatars of moral guidance. But there are thousands of politicians, literally, who have violated many fundamental notions of integrity, honesty and morality.
It is at least partially the result of the arbitrary and ancillary costs we impose on our public servants. Over time we have disincentivized our best and brightest from serving and they have been readily replaced by rascals, miscreants and criminals. Examples of the type of people being chased away would be Mitch Daniels and Colin Powell; but there are many, many more. Instead we get pols like the aforementioned Bill (and Hillary) Clinton, as well as Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, people with no usable or admirable accomplishments in the real world and with no compunctions about manipulating political structures to enrich themselves

for the Georgia senate runoff? I think trump basically gave it to the Dems. Didn’t he stir the pot on the wrong side of politics (like advocating for more covid aid?)?

I guess my reply is in the wrong place, but this is a response to Cornfed:

Of course not. How can you read that tweet and come to that conclusion. The content of the tweet is why I disdain Walker.
Serious question: If your sister or wife or daughter was abused, threatened, and bullied by some asshole for years on end — and you later had a chance to vote for that guy in some political race — would you vote for him?
His son is a conservative — not some woke liberal with an agenda, by the way.

Well, two things can be true at once: that Christian Walker loves his father, but hates the effect that Herschel’s dalliances have had on his mother and family in general.
As for Warnock, let him who is without sin cast the first stone. He has plenty of his own personal baggage. (Covering up child sexual abuse at his camp / obstructing the investigation, the domestic violence allegations, the financial stuff re: his church, bringing in Brother Castro, using a fake dog in his campaign ads, etc.).
On policy, where are we? Did the infrastructure bill actually benefit Georgia? Will the Inflation Reduction Act actually reduce inflation? There have been so many deceptively misnamed bills this Congressional session, it is Orwellian, bordering on Kafkaesque. Remember the infant formula bill? What, exactly, did it do? Did it actually address the issue?
Mothers with autism, who are less likely than others to breastfeed, have been hit particularly hard by the baby formula shortage. https://t.co/zc55WOgzkc

Yet some of the left’s talking point spreaders continue to harp about votes against a bill that did nothing, that were designed to do nothing.

The latest iteration of the Safe Streets Act? Did it reduce crime?

What are they hiding?
If it’s about policy, I would rather have gridlock than continually shoving garbage legislation through unified party control of the federal government.

Neither candidate in Georgia is the sharpest knife in the drawer. At least they have their marbles.
Try to imagine what it would be like to have a President in office who didn’t have his marbles and a VP that was even more dim witted.

Neo, I have to conclude that as much as 50% + of the electorate isn’t too bothered by mental incapacity in political leadership. How else to explain the post stroke candidacy of Fetterwoman and the Pennsylvania polling results? It amazes me.

So that kerfuffle is over. Race is back to even. False alarm. Hope Herschel and his son work it out. A father and son should not be alienated.
Warnock withstood Kelly Loeffler’s attacks in the 2020 race that tried to damage his standing with his ties to the liberation theology of his church. I disagree with those who say that Martin Luther King would be pleased with the way in which that church has evolved. The underlying theology is just another version of the creed of BLM. I think a majority of voters in Georgia would be put off with the “Howard Zinn version of US history” that underpins those perspectives. It is now propaganda more than it is theology.

It will be interesting to see how races will be impacted by Tulsi Gabbard’s active participation.
