Well she seems to be saying the right things, but so did Kemp when he was running. I know that sounds jaded I am just having a hard time trusting anyone that seeks power these days. I would certainly be willing to give her a fair shot.

Very little real info on her page. Mostly just platitudes. I'll keep an eye out but it didn't get me too excited.

I totally agree, Kemp was a huge disappointment because I really believed he was going to do a good job when I voted for him. I’m afraid if there isn’t a strong candidate to rally support, we’re going to get our asses handed to us. I can’t imagine Kemp or Perdue are going to get republicans turning out to the polls in record numbers. |

I can't see many Trump supporters turning out for Kemp either. |

My wife met Taylor at a local rally and liked her. That said, we also met Vernon Jones and he seemed pretty solid on the 2A.

It may help convince Trump supporters to vote for a particular candidate, but it will drive away the independents who dislike Trump. In order to stand a snowball's chance in hell of countering the liberal voters in the metro areas, the Republicans need as many independents as they can get...and I'm not sure that's the best route to take. |

IMHO: The only route to take is the big tent route. If you agree with someone 80% of the time, your tent needs to be big enough to bring them in. At the ballot box, that's all that matters. The other 20 - 25% that we don't have in common, we need to simply agree to disagree, and move on. As far as I'm concerned, that's likely our only hope..... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: “Those who seek power are not worthy of that power.” -Plato I’ve come to the conclusion that no rational person would run for public office. I used to think the same but I've been coming around to a different idea. If the only people who run are power hungry shit bags, it just reinforces the fact. I know a couple in our HTF who have ran and been elected on a local level that I trust. I am considering doing the same at some point in the future as well simply because there aren't many people in government that I feel like I can trust, and it isn't going to change if people like us don't get our asses up and do something about it. I think the local level is the place to start. |

I looked around on Taylor's website a little. I like the initiative to get a forensic audit of the election. I'll get deeper into that when I'm off shift. I clicked the menu tab then clicked "endorsements". Mike Lindell was first on the list. Second on the list is Lin Wood. That's a problem for me. Wood was telling Georgia Republican voters to sit out the runoff elections in protest of the Presidential election fraud. I'll see if I can find a link. ETA: I can't post the link about Wood. I'm not good with tech. |

Damn it! For some reason when I try to post the Lin Wood link it keeps pasting the Kandiss Taylor link.
I just googled Lin Wood tells GA voters not to vote in elections. There are a ton of results. Sorry I dicked that up fellas. |

My thoughts exactly. To my way of thinking it doesn't look like she thought that through. Especially in Georgia. Wounds are still raw for alot of people here. |

I met Kandiss Taylor a few times in 2020 when she was running for senator (lol). She finished with 0.8% of the vote.
She's nice enough but a bit crazy and has no real experience. If she was serious about a career in politics I think she'd be better served running for a state house/senate position and working her way up the chain. |

We are, which never made much sense to me. When I look for a mechanic I want a shop that's been there for years. I seek out career barbers and prefer contractors with long lists of happy customers. I've never been clear on why a complete lack of experience is a selling point in politics.

Politicians aren't "average, everyday Americans". They are self serving and power hungry assholes. Think about how much wealth a carrer politician can gain just by inside knowledge of up coming laws or mandates. Make it totally unbelievable like say vaccine mandates or a massive run on masks. They don't care about the people because they're not of the people. Again, just my opinion, it's worth exactly what you paid for it. |

Honestly I've been toying with this as well....I have a good friend that lost his city Counselman seat in a nearby burb in the last election due to woke Karens and I fear this is the cross to bear for all Conservatives types who would run for office. One will have to apply some level of persuasive argument constantly in order to be successful. So, one will need to be more like DeSantis than Trump; problem will be finding out who will follow through which boils down to luck. Jones or Taylor would be a crapshoot but we do know Perdue and Kemp so I guess that's where I'm at. |

It may be too late, but maybe it's not. Obviously I can't vote for you or @southerncross. But I am definitely down to help any way I can. Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe in my heart if we can elect real, working men to the county, city and hell even school board positions, we can start to make a difference. I mean no offense or disrespect to anyone but in my very humble opinion we need more men with calluses on their hands as our representatives. |

I agree with the sentiment. There are too many of the same kind of people in government. Seeing what @boersun and his wife are doing in their area has made me seriously consider seeking office at some point. If nothing else, being a bullshit detector and willing to tell the rest of the locals exactly what is going on in clear terms would be worth trying to get elected.
