FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Meet Liz Carter (R CAND, GA-04).

RESIZE: AAA

I used my shiny new audio rig to record an interview with Liz Carter, who is the front-runner for the Republican nomination in GA-04 (which means that she’d be running against Hank “Guam” Johnson). She’s in it to win it:

Liz is running on an accountability platform, and is supportive of the local Tea Party: her website is here. Nice person to talk to. Check her out.

    We have a similar candidate in GA-08. Small business owner that has decided that “enough is enough”. There are some other candidates in the Republican primary but it appears that Angela is the front runner. Here is a link to her website if you want to interview her also. Jim Marshall is the incumbent Democrat for this district.

    Great audio quality. Neil did good.

    Is this the same district that had Cynthia McNutso as its rep?

    if so they sure must be eating different peaches in that part of Georgia

    That’s how McKinney kept it so long. After her moonbat ranting after 9/11, she lost to Denise Majette – in the Democratic Primary, although with an infusion of Republican votes (because they knew their own candidate would have NO chance in the general). Majette could have held the seat safely, but chose to run for U.S. Senate. Johnson replaced her by beating McKinney’s comeback attempt, again in the Democratic Primary.

    I salute Liz Carter and agree she’d be a much better Representative. She has ZERO chance to win, and any money sent to her instead of to a close race has to be understood to be wasted, PERIOD.

    Even if it were enough of a “wave” this fall for Republicans to win 350 seats, one of them would NOT be GA-04.

    Next time you feel the need to talk down a Republican, don’t. At least here.

    but every dollar donated to her is a dollar set on fire.

    Even if one is willing to accept the unlikely proposition that a white Republican could ever get within shouting distance of a black Democrat in this district, it does not matter. At the first hint that a white woman has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning, Atlanta’s Democratic machine will kick into action, as will a whisper campaign about the dangers of letting a white person represent an overwhelmingly black area of metro Atlanta.

    If John Lewis can get away with false claims of the N word on national tv, imagine what goes in some Atlanta neighborhoods with no cameras rolling. Look at what happened in the Democratic primary for mayor last fall. Norwood was a Democrat, and all it took was the serious notion of a white person as mayor to set things rolling. It would be MUCH worse for a Republican.

    I can think of no better evidence of the old saying that the people get the representation they deserve than the pairing of GA-4 with McKinney and a guy ignorant enough to think islands float on the waves.

    I’m not exactly confident we’ll win this seat either, but you have to consider the long-term goals here.

    How do you expect us to cut into the Black vote if we write them off completely, and never even make an effort to try to win their votes? If This candidacy can convince 5% of the District’s African-Americans to switch allegiances, then that’s 5% closer to an eventual win here and 5% better totals statewide.

    We’re not going to just wake up one day to find that they’ve seen the light and dumped the Dems, we need to fight tooth and nail, everywhere, if we’re going to stand a chance of winning more than 10% of their votes.

    we have to break through and it is very hard. We saw what happened in the Atlanta mayors race, where the top vote getter was ganged up on by her opponents for being white.

    I think we all are trying to get through to people and voting blocs that do not want to splinter even if it is right to do so.

    The Democrats took away MA from us by getting up one more time than we knocked them down. It took them years, but they did it.

    no need to even say the problem.
