WOW. Back when Republicans Chambliss and Issakson collaborated with Sen. Kennedy on Amnesty, I attended a rally where Vernon Jones spoke.
He walks up to dais while the crowd is milling around chatting away. In 30 seconds, he had everyone's attention. In all of these years, I have never heard a more forceful, unapologetic, and effective defense of America and Conservative policies than I heard from him that day. If he is the same guy today that he was back then, he is someone to listen too. |

I like Jones in many ways, but you know the old accusations (mentioned in the link) would be hammered on by the Dems. His identity is irrelevant to me, but at least it'd take away the "white" card from them.
I'm not a tremendous Kemp fan and in isolation might go for Jones, but my main issue i this instance is that infighting/challenges usually hurt whoever ends up on the ballot. Given how tight elections have become, this could hand the election to the Dems. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If he is the same guy today that he was back then, he is someone to listen too. I was at one of the rallies at the state capitol building. Vernon Jones was still a Democrat then. Hearing him speak was amazing. A DEMOCRAT standing up in front of a crowd of pissed off Republicans, and we all listened. His speech went beyond partisan politics, and got to the heart of why the vast majority current lifelong bureaucratic politicians are terrible for America and for Americans. I found myself agreeing with him, nodding like an idiot, and saying "He's right" to myself, over and over. |

Very recently I've seen an ad in which Jones stated, "It's been 159 days since the presidential election and Kemp hasn't mentioned replacing those
Dominion voting machines. I will on Day 1". I've felt all along that this is the key to election integrity. Vernon Jones has my support. |

I have mixed feelings.
I lived in Dekalb County when he was CEO, and still remember how well that went. Edited to add I'm no fan of Kemp at all. Actually was hoping there would be someone better to boot him. Don't know who would be better/worse between Kemp/Jones, unless Jones has truly changed from his past. |

Basically saying all the "right" things. I remember thinking at best he would be a left leaning RINO worst case he's a plant. I don't think GA needs him either way.

He says all the right things, and backed Trump when backing Trump was career suicide for a Democrat. Maybe he's just a career grifter. Could be that's his only motivation: Democrats have long memories and his only chance at getting elected to anything is as a Republican. |

I won't vote for Vernon Jones, if he unseats Kemp and makes it to the general election and it's between him and a dem, I just won't vote. I increasingly find myself having to revert to this tactic due to the terrible candidates that it comes down to. It's almost best to just tune out and do my thing and not care anymore. We are banana republic status now anyways and the dollar will be worthless sooner rather than later no matter who is at the helm and once I lose my hope of retirement, the Hell with it all.

Vernon will crush Kemp in the primary. Kemp would probably drop out if he weren't scared for his family's safety by whatever DS creatures are controlling him. I don't know a single MAGA voter who will support Kemp.
Vernon is familiar with the Dekalb Co mafia since he used to run it. They won't be able to steal the election from him the way they did for Biden, Ossoff and Warnock. He's going to be our Governor in 2022 and Hopefully Herschel will run for Senate. Securing the vote is Job #1. Then we must break up the good ol boy Rino machine that has run Ga for the last 40 years. |

My buddy Cole Muzio of the Family Policy Alliance called him out on this a couple weeks ago, so he got his social media guy to post some BS tweet about how he "supports the unborn". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The allegations don't even matter, Trump was accused of rape and my guess is you still voted for him. That's not what I was addressing (in addition to being a comment to someone else). You put out claims of rape here: Quoted: This is hilarious. Jones is a moron and will get slaughtered in the primary. Between his history of rapes and corruption he doesn't stand a chance. If you want to backtrack it and interject "allegations" somewhere in there, that's fine but you stated his history of rapes of which he has none. The allegations are not only 16 years old, but never even went to court. Completely disingenuous to state his "history of rapes". Spineless politicians see the first allegation and announce an end to their candidacy . . . the water temp gets too high and they bail without even fighting it because they know the letter in front of their name is the wrong one for the media to be on their side which is why the tactic is effective and is used. It takes someone who doesn't care and willing to fight in the mud (like Trump) to move on from sexual allegations. Quoted: Vernons track record politically is far more worthy of discussion. That's on Vernon then. If you want to toss out a candidate before listening to what he has to say based on junk evidence from 2005, that is your prerogative. I personally don't care about what is more than likely old baseless claims against him. What types of legislation he is interesting in signing as Governor is more important than a scorned woman from 2005. |

Kemp and Raffensperger put a steak in the heart of that machine by blatantly stealing the vote for Biden. Job # 1 is securing the vote machine and part of that job will be prosecuting the steal.

He's clearly trying to build critical mass with disgruntled Trump voters right now, then he'll soften his stance to win back some of the "on the fence" liberals later in the campaign. I don't think he stands a chance, but I also said that about Warnock and The Weasel (Ossof) and we saw what happened there.

I don't see someone riding the fence between the two sides and winning. GA is seriously polarized right now. Just my thoughts though. This is the result of MAGA Republicans dividing the party. The more they repeat Trump's claims, the more they alienate the moderate R's and the independents. The majority of Americans do not believe Trump's claims, and the R party isn't strong enough or large enough to survive the division. It's a lose/lose situation for R candidates in GA. Side with Trump, alienate the moderates/independents, and you lose. Oppose Trump, appeal to the moderates/independents, lose the MAGA supporters, and you lose. |

I was at the annual Republican Presidents dinner this week in Buckhead. My generous boss bought a big money table and I had great access to many of our top brass in the party.
Shame on me, Vernon walked up and started chit chat.. I’m like, man you look so familiar. Yeah, it was Vernon and I had no clue. I’m a dumbass and had to ask who he was. Cool story bro I know. He’s a tall fella... as is Loeffler. She towered over my vertically challenged self. Anyway, seemed like they were teasing a Herschel run. |
