Ayn Rand isn’t conservative. She was a godless whore who wrote books about dudes she wanted to bang. Objectivism is a philosophy for Epicureans who want to join country clubs.

Milton Friedman was a great proponent of economic philosophies. Conservatism isn’t about economics, primarily or even secondarily. There are principles which follow from conservatism that affect our views on the economy.

We lost the idea of conservatism with our moral decline.

People like you are the reason Republicans can't win shite. Instead of attacking Warnock, you're defending him.



Quit being a moron.

I am trying to get you to admit "candidate selection matters".

Which you refuse, like an idiot, to believe.

I contend a candidate like Black or Saddler wins this going away.

This right here. Republicans used to win more by coalescing around the candidate, even if we didn’t love them. That no longer seems possible and some Necons and RINO’s actually vote left to virtue signal that the R candidate is somehow unacceptable morally.

The left doesn’t give a second thought to running someone with no morals or poor policies. R’s seem to get way too caught up with it.

It is about the "individual" vs the "collective".

Why does it only matter on one side? Why don't Republican voters care enough to hold their noses and vote for the party even if the candidate isn't their favorite like Democrats do?

Sure. It’s hyper-individualism with no moral guardrails. Which is why Ayn had multiple affairs with married men.

I could care the frick less!!!

You need to tell me how Kemp beat Abrams by 7.5 and Walker can't beat Warnock.

Just tell me the answer.

I know Warnock is a bad candidate but I DON'T CARE.

You can contend that all you would like. The last three Republican Senate candidates have lost in Georgia.

You can ignore all the data and throw it all at the feet of Trump. But there’s no savior walking through that door for the Ossof race in 26. You can come back and complain about candidate quality again when generic Joe loses to him.

I can't explain this, and I refuse to believe we have so many stupid voters in this state that "Walker is a bad candidate" makes up THAT much of a difference.

It makes no sense how people can vote for Kemp in one race and a communist fake preacher in another race. That's the equivalent of investing in a taxi company and then voting for Uber to be the main rideshare in your city.

I have no doubt that Herschel would wax you in a debate. So you would lose a debate to a potato. That’s embarrassing.

Well now we have to wait four years.

I hear that Kemp will run against Ossoff. That is the word.

Things being equal, like stopping the left wing invasion into my state, Kemp will clean the floor with Ossoff.

We will have to agree to remember this 4 years from now.

Kemp is bought and paid for and knows what's up.

You think the communist slumlord preacher who ran over his ex-wife with a car was a great candidate?

The Georgia loss is not about the candidate. It is about election systems and massive differences in funding.

Walker's supposed inferiority as a candidate is simply a shiny object to distract from the obvious. Fetterman was a FAR worse candidate than Walker, yet he won his race.

Why?
As with the GA race, the MSM audaciously asserts Oz lost because he was a "bad candidate." Relative to his opponent, one would have to have a Fetterman brain to believe that.

Herschel was in the running just because he was Herschel and the republicans pushed him as a black candidate against another. These UGA fans here are nuts! Gary Black would make a great senator but would not have done as well because he is not black.

So who was your better candidate? Everyone’s a professional whiner but not many alternate answers abound.

I’ve asked the same question today, I think twice now, with no response.

Was there anyone in the primary who could speak a full sentence in articulable english, could read at a third grade level, and didn’t have known mental illness and other personal baggage?

If so, that person is my answer.
