If he doesn't endorse a Dem, he'll be rejected in Hollywood.

I actually feel sorry for these people. They cannot dare challenge or question the status quo without being ostracized.

I don't feel sorry for them in the slightest. Never have. Nor do I feel for athletes that whine about their lack of privacy.

I know we were talking about the bad adds earlier. Stacey Abrams camp has taken the lead back over Kemp. Not sure if it was actually her group or just some democratic group supporting her. but they went full "If the Republicans win, YOU lose." and brought up slavery as one thing that could happen, in an effort to back up her no agriculture stance I guess. also had some nice imagery of waving Nazi flags every time they brought up the Republicans or Kemp.

we need to change the laws/rules on how you can advertise political statements. IMO you should only be able to mention your own stances, can't bring up the other side, or whatever imagined consequences will be brought up if "they" win. Is it any wonder we have crap candidates when all they ever do is talk down about the other person instead of selling themselves?

She literally has an ad that begins, "Some people are saying very bad things about me, but this election isn't about me..."

How things have changed.

Republicans are now urging Crooked Hillary to run for president again in 2020.

While the democrats are chanting, LOCK HER UP!

POLL: CNN VIEWERS MORE LIKELY THAN MSNBC VIEWERS TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC IN MIDTERMS

A new poll from Suffolk University had some surprising results about how viewers of MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News feel heading into the 2018 midterms.

The vast majority of registered voters who most trust CNN or MSNBC said they would likely vote Democratic, 87 percent and 84 percent, respectively. Ten percent of MSNBC viewers said they would likely support the Republican in their congressional district, while only 3 percent of CNN viewers would say the same. Meanwhile, 95 percent of Fox News viewers say they would support Republicans while only 4 percent say they’ll vote Democratic.


This may raise some eyebrows since MSNBC is perceived to be more of liberal news outlet than CNN, with opinion hosts like Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell and Chris Matthews. CNN presents itself as down the middle. (RELATED: Rachel Maddow Equates Trump’s Voter Fraud Tweet To 1922 KKK Leaflets)

The sample size, however, is small. Of the 1,000 registered voters surveyed by Suffolk, 119 said they most trust CNN, 100 said MSNBC and 239 said Fox News. The rest chose PBS/NPR, broadcast channels, C-SPAN or Comedy Central.

On the question of the direction of our country, more MSNBC viewers see it going in the right direction than CNN viewers by a 7-5 margin. They do, however, tie in believing we’re heading in the wrong direction at 92 percent. Seventy-seven percent of Fox News viewers see the country heading in the right direction while 15 percent don’t.

And when it comes to which news outlet voters trust the most, 24 percent say Fox News, 16 percent say PBS/NPR, 12 percent say CNN, 10 percent say MSNBC, and 16 percent say none of them.

Former President Jimmy Carter, a Georgia native, wrote a letter to GOP gubernatorial nominee Brian Kemp asking him to step down as secretary of state and hand off oversight of the state's elections to someone else since he is currently running for governor of the state.
"In Georgia's upcoming gubernatorial election, popular confidence is threatened not only by the undeniable racial discrimination of the past and the serious questions that the federal courts have raised about the security of Georgia's voting machines, but also because you are now overseeing the election in which you are a candidate," Carter wrote in a letter to Kemp dated October 22.

Why in the world would Kemp refuse? Rhetorical.

Do you think a higher percentage of Fox viewers will vote democrat or CNN viewers vote republican? My vote is the latter, granted it will be a small %, but still.......

Why should anyone listen to someone who had a crappy agriculture job?

Carter should have left the race-baiting out of it. Just goes to show that even the centrist and respectable Democrats of a bygone era have been infected with the stain of what passes today as "liberalism".

But otherwise, he has a good pint about the conflict of interest. Kemp should step aside on election oversight and I'm surprised he hasn't already.
