Disastrous candidates Cagle and Kemp head for runoff

After failing to win the majority of the vote in the primary, candidates Casey Cagle and Brian Kemp are headed for a Republican runoff in July that analysts say is “likely to be both an expensive and nasty campaign.” So far, Kemp and Cagle have already been leading nasty, extremist and backwards campaigns. Kemp aired an anti-immigration ad that parrots Trump and spewed his xenophobic, hateful rhetoric on a bus tour across the state. “These people

Georgia is sick of gun “jokes,” ready for legislation

Competition for Georgia’s top political positions is starting to reveal just how out of touch GOP candidates really are about gun control. While a new poll shows that Georgians of all political stripes are increasingly in favor of tightening gun laws and regulations, a gubernatorial candidate can be seen pointing his gun at a minor in a vile TV ad and one candidate for lieutenant governor has challenged another to a shootout.

Cagle and Ga. conservatives deny man-made climate change

GOP gov. candidates parrot Trump’s lies about immigration and crime

Trump infamously slithered into the White House by building support for his presidential campaign in part by using xenophobic slurs particularly those against Mexican immigrants. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists,” he claimed. While we know these statements are simply false, Georgia’s conservative gubernatorial candidates in Georgia haven’t gotten the message. Or, more likely, they just don’t care about the truth. They’re still spewing Trump’s bogus, backwards anti-immigration sentiments, regardless of the story

Race to GOP primaries becoming race to bottom

Yikes! The Republican gubernatorial hopefuls are on a fast-paced race to the bottom. A (somewhat interchangeable) group of white men have been desperately trying to reassure the public that they are, in fact, the MOST racist, MOST anti-abortion, MOST anti-immigrant candidate of the whole lot. Where to begin in listing off the litany of disturbing choices these candidates have made? To start with, all of the top GOP candidates have made public pledges to support
