Absolutely untrue. Oh May not like the time it takes to payback, or the constraints it puts on your lifestyle, but you can definitely dig out.

With the influx of Hispanics and film industry hippies from California into Georgia the Dems could have a shot of they would field the right candidate.

Instead they do what they do and select this barely functioning retard because she is a black female.

Georgia stays red.

Hahahaha, how can you be for the tax party, ask people to pay more to the government, and not even pay your share. Should be an automatic disqualifier.

I seem to recall a story of a minority lawyer from Harvard at the top of her class hired by a huge law firm. She couldn’t hack it. It later came out that she did so well at Harvard because she was allowed to have double the test time of everyone else as a way to compensate for some “condition” she had.

When asked to do work at the same pace as everyone else, she failed miserably and started suing people for not giving her an accommodation.


I remember she couldn't pass the NY bar exam and she sued NY state board of bar exams because she was not given additional times, and this revealed that she had always been treated differently in law school so she took it for granted.

Her Fortune commentary argues her debt load should not disqualify her


I mean... I kind of get it, BUT that’s a VERY tough sell.

“I’m Stacy Abrams. Vote for me to finally balance the state budget... even though I personally am in financial ruin.”

I’m all for financial literacy education, though. We should be scrapping art and music and shite from the curriculum and making them after-school activities like sports. Replace them with practical things like financial literacy, nutrition, and real sex Ed (not the abstinence only shite social conservatives wanna push). At a minimum, kids should leave high school knowing how to buy healthy food on a budget, save money, pay taxes, and not get three different baby mamas preggers before the age of 18.

Are we reserving politics for the wealthy?

Most of you didn't read the article. Only the uneducated and privileged Trumpkins come running in here getting all excited about nothing. Not everyone get a free meal ticket to Yale Law School.

The cc/student debt isn't the part that should disqualify her. It's the 50k in tax debt that should.

Maybe learn to run your life succesfully before running for office.

Obama was wealthy until he left office.

Everyone is laughing, but if she’s smart she’ll spin this as a positive.

Nah. But we are reserving politics for people that pay their taxes.

Its obvious she is paying her taxes or she would be in jail for tax evasion. But you know this already, right?

She was infinitely better than the white female democrat. The other lady was a moron


Abrams knows a bit about governing. But she probably will lose in a landslide. Her sales pitch is to help every Georgian. Outside of that, she's got nothing to stand on.

Are you suggesting that being $50K in arrears on taxes is not a sign of irresponsible behavior?

It's hilarious that she doesn't even meet the minimum requirements to use the services of the company that she so proudly boasts that she helped create.
