The Right is dazed, confused and exhausted over an election that epitomized overpromise and underdelivery. But Republicans and conservatives need to stay focused, and elect Georgia’s Herschel Walker to the Senate. With spendthrift, control-freak Democrats still running the Senate, Walker’s Dec. 6 runoff against incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock might seem unimportant. Au contraire: Herschel Walker matters.

First, a Walker win would return the Senate to today’s 50-Democrat, 50- Republican tie. Ending Election 2022 precisely where it began, after such Sturm und Drang, would be tragicomic. Nonetheless, if GOP senators unite, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York could get nothing done without Democrat unanimity, whereupon Vice President Kamala Harris would break tied votes.

Second, a Walker triumph would retire Warnock, a hard Leftist with radical, racist, anti-American views. Warnock votes with Joe Biden 96% of the time. His American Conservative Union rating is a piddling 7.7 out of a perfect 100. His 6% National Taxpayers Union score earned him an F. He voted in August against 18,000 new Border Patrol officers, for 87,000 new IRS agents, and for letting them audit Americans who make less than $400,000 annually. Warnock’s amendment to offer medical coverage to low-income adults in states without Medicaid expansion floundered, 5 Yeas to 94 Nays. His idea was too much for, among others, Democrats Schumer, Patty Murray of Washington, and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. He even voted for stimulus checks to prisoners. Warnock also is a volcano of reckless rhetoric. He said..... Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread |
