People would do the same for Democrats. Argument invalid.


That doesn't really invalidate his argument.

He's going on the argument that, "Republicans would vote for a corpse if it was of their party." My question is, "Do Democrats do the same thing?" Given Gauth would probably never admit to such, I take his answer to be "no," which is entirely incorrect. I have seen some people who would vote for a dead body if it was that of a Democrat.

I'm not saying there aren't people who would do that, metaphorically speaking, but that does not actually invalidate the argument that was made.

Not in the 6th district. Ossoff has a real chance of winning. But I wouldn't count on it. The GOP is going to spend millions making him look like an out of touch extremist, scaring moderate voters who would otherwise vote Ossoff.

I don't know if it will work. Apparently Handel is bringing in Trump which could spell doom for her as this is not a Trump district, but a Romney and Rubio district. She'd be much better off bringing in Rubio than Trump

That district would vote for a cow if it was registered as a republican over literally any democrat except Jimmy Carter.

And yet a democrat forced them to go into a runoff, with the polls showing the race to be neck and neck.

Not just forced a runoff, very nearly won it outright, and with a much larger portion of the vote than the next contender.

Sounds like a prime example of voting R down ticket, but voting (almost) Democrat up ticket. Considering Tom Price still won by a large margin.

Of course, that also makes me feel like its even more likely Ossof could win, especially since the Republicans picked the worst choice.

Well the republicans in this area aren't populist republicans but Country club Republicans, Romney won the district by almost 30%

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.
