Georgianon here, thanking anons for sharing this pile of rubbish that Gov. Brian Kemp is trying to foist onto us in this state.
Encouraging other Georgians/southeastern US anons to share those contact links. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution today contained the following, detailing the controversy. Kemp's inner circle is reeeing, so we know we've already touched a nerve.

Look at the headline of the piece, a quoted statement from one of them:
"We don't know you, and we don't care what you think."
After that, they go straight to ad hominem attacks, a telltale sign of no other argument. How many times have we seen Democrats/Establishment use this identical strategy?
I have personally turned on Brian Kemp; other than not being Stacy Abrams, he hasn't shown any other attributes. Had dinner last night with a friend who has met him personally twice; the first time was at business event not long after Kemp was elected, and my friend found him standing alone at the bar. He struck up a conversation which ended up lasting at least 20 minutes, because no one at the event seemed to even recognize him and no one else approached. A few months later, my friend encountered Kemp again at another event, and Kemp didn't seem to recognize him at all. Looks like Kemp is another shallow establishment politician. I also tend to think of him in terms of his smaller social circle within the state: Athens Country Club. Everyone with any knowledge of Athens or the University of Georgia knows the stereotype of Athens Country Club people....
My buddy and I have been wondering if Kemp is intellectually up to the job as well. Unspoken was whether Kemp is operating out of fear of the Stacy Abrams/Steve Phillips/San Francisco liberal machine. I'd bet good money that there's a mountain of self-doubt and doubt in his own organization just under the surface with Kemp. Georgia had never experienced an open political attack, from the west coast of all places, like the one we experienced in that election. It was a shock to everyone's system.
I would like to learn more about two aspects of this situation:
-
All the connections of Kelly Loeffler and her husband whose name I can't even recall offhand, and
-
The political implications of this appointment and how a temporary position might hinder or benefit Trump's agenda in the year to come. The intention surely must be to make Loeffler a temp-to-perm appointment. Kemp must see the Loeffler/husband's money as the best option he has to fight the Abrams machine. In that, he may be partially correct. Abrams was using Steve Phillips and his heiress wife Susan Sandler's money to set up their massive network of nonprofits and activist organizations. If the Georgia GOP has something comparable to its name, I don't know about it.
I have met Johnny Isakson and his wife several times and they're nice enough. His health is exactly as has been covered-- terrible. I imagine he has stayed in DC longer than he probably should have, for fear of exactly what's happening now, even though his Parkinson's no doubt has reduced his political effectiveness for 5-10 years or more.
Thanks to the good anons for bringing this issue here. This Senate seat is of importance to us all, but the effect is acute here. My own family has been here since before the Revolution. Quakers from Pennsylvania who came to Wrightsville to establish communities, Scots-Irish Regulators who made communities in the mountains seeking only freedom and independence, Carolinians who came here seeking good farmland in the Piedmont region, Revolutionary soldiers who accepted land grants for their service to the nation in search of gold veins and fertile fields, and some wily Cherokees who evaded the establishment with their knowledge of hiding places in the places in the mountains still difficult to reach today.
I apologize for the wall of text, but just wanted to share as much as I know from experience and being local with anons, for perspective. When I see what's happened to Virginia and other states, now at the mercy of the Marxist agenda, I shudder for Georgia. We have been targeted.
