I can’t remember an election so full of people leveraging abject ignorance as viable political capital. It’s like watching the whole country watch an episode of “The Real Housewives of…” sitting on their couches with their hands in their pants like Al Bundy, but then voting.
I could prove it with a link to endless videos of misspelled signs held by nutjobs standing around with other poorly dressed flip flop shod just rolled outta bed looking ninnies, but why do that when we have people running for office who I can point to instead.
Heck some are right here in Georgia.
Take for instance Fenn Little, who claims to be a “civil rights” attorney, yet folks who’ve been part of the actual Civil Rights Movement haven’t ever heard of him. Ironically, in a you can’t make this up moment, he’s running against the last man living who spoke at the March on Washington in 1963, John Robert Lewis.
A man, Fenn claims to admire.. um so why in your letter to “voters” are you calling him a liar?
After all, I believe that truth by definition is unchanging—like the law of gravity. But, today a whole new set of lies and half-truths are threatening the people of the 5thDistrict and America. Much to our disappointment, the Mr. Lewis of today has bought into those lies and half-truths by putting Nancy Pelosi and her plans AHEAD of the people of our district. He has neglected us all – the poor people, the rich people, the black people, the brown people, the white people and everyone in between.
While I realize that Speaker Pelosi has become a convenient target for the right, she’s done her job. She’s delivered on her commitments, she’s wrangled the Blue Dogs and the left wing. Seriously, have you met our “cats” and ever tried to herd them? I was at the One Nation Rally, I’m as librul as you get and I was alarmed. Frankly the woman has performed miracles with the Democratic delegation. Anyone who ACTUALLY knows how Congress works would too.
Requisite Pelosi Pander-DING!
Next up is precious, just precious, by that I mean sick. Fenn spouts some clap trap about the poor and the Congressman being a socialist and if elected Little will fight “handouts” that, wait for it…
imprison the poor in a cell of despair, and the very people politicians should serve soon become absolutely dependant on the government to take care of them.
Ok Fenn, really, really so you’re saying the poor want to be poor, and if elected you’ll make sure to stop that? Huh, stop what exactly, the handouts, but not the “poor”. You have to read a bit further cause his solution is to give the “poor” that old “hand up” offer.
Really this man ought to be writing soap opera scripts “cell of despair” is that like the “pit of despair”. Paging Fenn Little to the Day’s of our Lives set please-we’ve got rewrites for ya!
Dramatic Socialist Pander-DING!
Oh I could go on, it seriously gets worse with the “erosion of fundamental freedoms”, and “crippling our children” (ableist language much?) but trust me when I tell you I think David Duke may have written his website content.
Then we come to the sum total of all that I hate about this year, buried deep in the Issues and Government Accountability page is this stunner of a statistic:
In the Metro Atlanta area, over 1000 school administrators make over $100,000.00 per year. That is $1,000,000,000.00 per year on administration in salaries alone.
What the hell is he talking about? How big is the “metro” Atlanta area? How far out does it go? How many municipalities does it encompass? No documents or references are attributed-just big juicy round numbers flung around for dramatic effect. Is there any critical thinking?
Better yet, why does he resent that a school official makes a six figure salary?
Dude, you make your money suing the government. It’s ok he gets his off the government? But not the folks who work for the school system managing millions of dollars in educational assets, geesh they can’t live well. I guess they must too be dispatched to the “cell of despair”.
Hate on people in government service- DING!
When I first started this post, I thought the guy was at best a blowhard trying to make a name for himself. Now I think, he’s just like the O’Donnell’s and Angle’s. Not at all a joke and very very dangerous.
Reading through his ideas for the 5th Congressional district, they are downright scary. Full of jabs at the folks who live and work in Atlanta. Sneering at Congress and the leadership, praising Newt and the Fair Tax. Touting his Georgia Right to Life endorsement, *cough* speaking of “erosion of freedom” and Glen Becks 9-12 Project.
Barf.
There is a real Patriot in the race, a real Civil Rights leader, a real Drum Major for Justice, someone who is respected for his service to this country, his name is John Lewis.
