I will sit out in November and not vote. Let the Georgia GOP see what happens when christian conservatives sit out and not vote.

Current population of Georgia, from the US Census Bureau, as of 2005: 9,072,576

And what, 440,000 voted?

Less than 5% turnout. Puh-leez. Split it in half since Dems probably didn’t vote in the Pubs’ primary, and you still have less than TEN percent turnout. What a joke!

There is only one issue for this election: the first candidate to figure out how to get people to care, and thus vote, will win in a landslide. How do you do that? Dump the stupid party-lining, the mudslinging, and all the popular hot-button issues and get back in touch with the average person.

Hell, I could run on that platform. Shame the primaries are over…

As sad as the turn out numbers were, as a resident in the 4th District I am so proud of each voter that made his or her way to the polls to vote against Cynthia McKinney. Reed not being able to beat someone as beatable as Cagle speaks volumes in regards to how people perceived Reed. Reed is just plain creepy; I feel in need of a good hot shower after I see him on television.

Hmmm… Reed lost to Cagle by 49,000. Cox lost to Taylor by 37,000. Did crossovers to defeat Reed cost Cox a win? I know I received a phone call encouraging folks to do this. Maybe the Big Fat Guy was behind this call?! Curious.

Philly,

What you’re telling me is that there is a small group of ‘conservatives’ that would sacrifice their own personal principles and vote for someone who is counter to everything they believe in all because of bitterness and hatred and some grudge? THAT does not sound conservative and that SURELY doesn’t sound Christian.

“Curious” and “Amused” raise interesting points. In secular zeal to “cross-over” and defeat a “Lt. Goober” candidate (who probably lost to Cagle without that aid, and would lose to Martin or Hecht in November anyway), many 4th District Dems have disenfranchised themselves for 8/8. Granted, many “touchscreeners” are forced to tap with their left, while “nose-holding” with their right in most elections. In addition to shafting Cathy Cox, sure hope that the tambourine-tapping, cop beater, Cynthia McBigot doesn’t get a free pass. “Big picture” strategy seems secondary to self-serving feelings and partisan single issues.

A large part of the vote for Cagle also came from the gay and lesbian vote. Many metro Atlanta gays voted GOP just to defeat Ralph Reed.

I never knew the Dems had a monopoly on the gay vote. I know for a fact Ralph got some of the ‘gay vote’ as well. Some voted for him because they wanted to see him take down the whole house of cards.

Honestly I think Ralph relied solely on HIS grassroots rather than the whole party. He limited his universe to just HIS people and hoped for a really low turnout.

If you want a simple look, check out county by county. Cagle won many rural counties that are not exactly hotbeds of gay activism.

It can be argued that, once again, a narrowly focused vote by elements of the gay and lesbian community damaged a candidate who has always supported them: 4th District Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Because some of her constituents decided to vote Republican, wasting their vote on Cagle who didn’t even need their support, they could well have deprived McKinney of the margin she needed to break the 50% barrier. Such tactics, whether for Majette in 2002 or against Reed in 2006, often have unintended but serious consequences.

Perhaps when Christian talibanists, err, “conservatives” sit out an election, the republican party will revert back to the party of limited government, instead of the party that has increased non defense spending more than the democrats ever had. Maybe we’ll go back to staying out of peoples business and reducing government. Maybe we’ll go back to recognizing that theocracy is not a good system of government.

Because all that the christian conservatives have brought to the republican party is a welfare state mentality, political correctness, a culture of victimology, and feeble minds. Let the door hit you on the way out. Good riddance.

Repeating Ralph’s mantra: Cagle twisted facts and lied about Reed; Cagle became rich while serving in the State Senate; 900 percent! 900 percent! 900 percent! — is going to get you nowhere.

Reed never was able to connect with those charges because they are false. Everything thrown at Reed was factual and pointed directly to his character and fitness to serve in public office. Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, Reed threw at Cagle had any merit. All of those charges were checked out by independent organizations and the conclusion was Reed was the one twisting and manipulating the facts to mislead voters.

But nothing I say to you will change your hot little head about any of this, will it?

It is a crime to engage in lobbying in Texas for hire without registering and reporting specifics about who is behind the effort, how much is being spent, on what, and by whom. Failure to do so is a misdemeanor. The law is subject to a two-year statute of limitations.

Reed lobbied; didn’t register; hid the funding info; bragged about his efforts to Abramoff in emails. But it wasn’t discovered until after the two-year statute had run. He was not indicted for the crime due to what some folks call a “technicality.”

So was Cagle so wrong to claim Reed probably had committed crimes? I don’t think so, and obviously quite a few others got that message loud and clear.

Like I said Philly, I am here to set the record straight. Of course some people just don’t want to deal with the truth. They prefer fantasyland.

Gay Georgians Real Winners in Primary Elections

Politics of gay bashing and fear losing their appeal

July 19, 2006, Atlanta, Georgia - Support for equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Georgians gained momentum last night as the results were announced for both Republican and Democratic Primaries.

“Those candidates who threw us and our families under the bus for their own benefit were resoundingly defeated, while those who stood by us survived,� said Chuck Bowen, Executive Director of Georgia Equality.

“Voters not only turned their backs on Ralph Reed and Cathy Cox who are very different politically, but in other races as well including Greg Hecht and Kay Godwin, a member of the Christian Coalition from Waycross Georgia who also served on Governor Perdue’s Social Conservative Advisory Team.�

Georgia Equality will be directing all of its focus on endorsed candidates who face runoffs including Jim Martin in the Lt. Governor’s race and Douglas Dean in House District 59

Philly,

BahamaBoy is correct. If anything Ralph said was true, Cagle would be under the jail right now. He’d have investigations coming at him from the state and federal levels.

The people heard both messages and they decided who they trusted and believed more. It is clear that these voters did not agree with Reed. If you say all of what Ralph accused Cagle of doing was true, you are calling 56% of the voters in the GOP primary fools and liars.

As to the theory that some mass gay conspiracy came over and voted for Cagle, let’s look at the numbers. More people voted in the Perdue/McBerry race. McBerry only got 12% of the vote. If there was some mass gay conspiracy wouldn’t it have made more sense to vote against Sonny to embarrass him more?

Let’s also look at the counties Cagle won. He won in many rural counties by greater percentages than the overall vote. He won in some of the most conservative areas of the state. In these rural areas, I’d say there is not a large gay population that could swing an election. Shave a huge percentage of the difference in the race of 50K and Cagle still gets the election.

You can make excuses all day but Cagle won. The voters decided. As Ralph would say, it’s settled. If Ralph can concede and offer support to Casey, why can’t you?

How can a Christian sit here and pout about an election and not support someone due to so much hate, bitterness, and animosity? Those hardly sound like Christian values. You’d rather see someone of far left values win over in November all due to some hatred and vendetta? Look at this picture and tell me if this is truly representative of Christian values.

You can also say repeatedly Christian conservatives will lay out due to them being abused and neglected. Well this is one Christian conservative that will support Casey because he can be trusted and is a man of his word. Ralph can support him, why can’t you?

The only reason he won was because of anti Reed vote and cross overs and negative campaigning. We can send a message we will not tolerate a fellow christian being treated that way.

I’ve been over and over these “facts” before; facts which are inconvenient for these Kool-Aid addicts. Even FoxNews’ Special Report did a piece on the GA primaries tonight, and the Reed defeat was featured on the second segment of the Fox’s All-Stars. Reed went down because of Abramoff. It’s as simple as that. Cagle won because Reed got in bed with w*******. (Figuratively, folks.)

Howard and Philly are representative of why people were turned off by Reed. Howard and Philly claim to be Christians but clearly have issues of too much hate and not enough forgiveness, not that there is anything that needs to be forgiven.

Howard and Philly claim to be Christians but then shout every insult under the sun about Casey Cagle and those who support him. They would rather allow liberals to win and carry on their agenda. Now with Howard’s comment, HE would rather support Osama Bin Laden.

Howard, I am a Christian. I can show love, compassion, and forgiveness. I can move on and work to promote Christian values without showing hate. I didn’t need Cagle to win or lose to feel this way. You on the other hand spit hatred left and right. If you were a follower of Ralph, you’d heed his call. My guess is that now that Ralph is on board with Cagle, HE has somehow sold out according to you?

I could care less if I convince you to vote for anyone Howard. Only YOU can come to the conclusion that many already have and still are doing. You can either do your part to help liberals and Bin Laden or you can climb on board. If Ralph can do it, surely you can. Or was Ralph’s values and decisions not good enough for you after all?

To “Who cares?”: The analysis you used to calculate voter tournout is deeply flawed. It doesn’t take into account what percentage of the population is under 18 or otherwise ineligible to vote (i.e. non-citizens). Also, voter turnout percentages are usually measured by % of registered voters.

Turnout was low, but 5% can’t be right.

Things will not change unless the GOP loses control.

Cagle got in bed with gays and liberals to destroy Reed. Cagle lied in his ads and distorted the truth. He may be forgiven for that but he still has to face the consequences.

You see Ralph has publicly stated he will support Cagle. Why can’t you? And if you’re saying Debbie and others like her are only spouting lip service then you are saying her and those like her are all liars for saying one thing and doing another.

Rest assured, there was A LOT of crossover voting on Tuesday and it was primarily Democrats crossing over and voting against Reed. I do think McKinney was a target as well (and rightfully so) but I think there were leaps and bounds more people voting against Reed’s hypocritical ethics and extreme, activist Christian Coalition views. Just read the numerous posts on this website relating to other voting topics and you’ll see just how large a number there were. As for me, I’m a conservative Democrat and also gay and I voted Republican on Tuesday to stop Reed. He’s one of the biggest threats to Georgia government that I’ve seen in a very long time. I can also say that I have not seen such a strong and concerted effort on the part of the gay community to rally against any one candidate in a very long time too”

No I think Ralph defeated Ralph Philly. His lack of good judgment in the past few years led to his own downfall. People saw this and made the move to prevent Ralph from going any further.

Again, as for some mass liberal/gay/anti-Christian conspiracy, I disagree. Look at the many rural counties Cagle won with higher percentages than the overall one. Cagle won in areas I know a mass Democratic turnout did not take place. And in many of these counties I’d say there’s not some overwhelmingly gay population.

If there was a massive crossover, why didn’t it show in other GOP races? Look at Perdue’s election. Where was the indicators of a massive crossover protesting Sonny? Take half of McBerry’s votes away and apply those to the Cagle race and Cagle still comes out on top.

As much as I appreciate people thinking enough of what I say to actually quote me, I think Philly is way off base. What he’s implying is that Cagle courted the gay vote which he definitely did not do (at least not to my knowledge). Simply put, many gay and straight people alike saw the true threat that existed had Reed been elected and we all realized that that simply could be allowed to happen. That’s the reason for the crossover. Also I would caution Philly on how he chooses to characterize me and my comments. Please re-read my post Philly. I am a conservative Democrat, not a liberal. And anticipating your next post, yes, there actually are conservative gay people out there!

These reports of crossover voting have me thinking that Georgia needs to institute a system by which people register by party or as an independent. I think there might be a little more support for it now because the crossover voting affected Republicans and Democrats this time. The whole idea of a primary is to have citizens who identify with a particular party vote for the best candidate to represent them. People who crossover to vote in a primary for a party they dislike seems just as petty and stupid as the actions of the politicians they complain about.

Crossing over to vote in another political group’s primary is fair game, unless and until the rules are changed. It allows voters to use their personal clout to affect the outcome of elections.

If we went to a system of registration and certification where voters had to sign an oath to support a certain party, and thereafter could only vote in that party’s primary elections, cross over voting would disappear. Do you see any chance of this happening any time soon?

Once they’ve voted in one of the party’s primary elections, though, they can only vote in that party’s run-off. Too bad, because I bet a lot of those Dem crossovers in the 4th wish they could go back now and vote for Johnson.

How does that prove anything? How does that prove there was a huge crossover? And how does that prove that there was enough cross over to amount to this being the reason Reed lost? Debbie, take a good look at the counties Cagle won. Most of those counties are NOT huge Democratic bastions. Explain to me how Cagle even won VERY conservative counties even by margins ahead of any potential crossovers?

You see, all you have become is a Democrat from 2000. Replace Gore with Reed and you are now no different than a whiny “W stole the election” crybaby. Face up to the facts that Reed LOST it. He was his own downfall. Pride comes before a fall. I remember hearing oh Ralph has it in the bag over and over. But then look at the money. Why did it trail off this last period? Can you blame lack of fundraising on crossover? What about those endorsements? Where was W? Where was Cheney? You yourself claimed they’d be down here. Those other endorsements? Recordings on a phone? Where were the appearances weeks before the election? We saw no one after the Senate Indian Affairs report came out. Why? Democrats and gays’ fault? Make excuses and be bitter.

If you can look at yourself in the mirror and honestly say Ralph ran a clean and ethical campaign, Howard you have issues. I will redirect you to all of the press releases that Ralph’s campaign put out accusing Cagle of breaking state and federal laws. If there was truth to any, why is Cagle not in jail? Why have there been no charges against him?

You don’t accuse people of breaking the law unless you back it up. Ralph dipped into sleaze-land by accusing his fellow Republican of breaking laws repeatedly. Where is the honor in that? Why is THAT not sleazy Howard? Why do you let Ralph get away with THOSE charges?
