Seldom do we have a political candidate about whom everything is known.
Opinion
Candidates are given a Hollywood image equivalent to a devout, respected pastor leading a large, pious congregation to feed the hungry and house the poor and educate the ignorant and remedy and reparate every wrong ever committed to and by everyone. The Hollywood image may include housing the poor, but it never includes evicting anyone from a building the candidate controlled, especially after missing rent for a short time during a pandemic. The Hollywood image would show the candidate feeding a few poor, but never causing inflation so bad that the poor can’t afford food. The Hollywood image would never include an arrest. The Hollywood image would never include a pastor divorcing the mother of his own children. The Hollywood image would conceal the pastor’s brother in prison for life for being accomplice to a drug gang while serving as a police officer in Savannah. Nope, Hollywood has donated millions to the reverend, and Hollywood is best at concealing truth.
There are so many “approved” messages with so much deceit and outright lies that it seems as if the election is between Herschel and an imaginary perfect Abraham Lincoln type candidate.
How does one separate the wheat from the chaff, the truth from the deceit, the Walker from the Warnock, of political language?
Follow the money. Warnock and his millionaire and billionaire donors from Hollywood and New York paid hundreds of millions to find the “truth” about Mr. Walker. Surely they found something that wasn’t already publicly available.
They didn’t. Not one slander that wasn’t already public. They discovered that Herschel is too good a man to attack with the truth.
So, they used their great powers of deceit to create a whole new Herschel Walker.
Herschel wrote about his anger issues, and overcoming them, in his book, Breaking Free, in 2008. So nothing new there. Everyone knew he had “bonus” kids (wow, only two? The rumors were more) because rumors fly in Athens, and the mothers were not silent. Nothing new there. Plus, no one cares. In the unedited video of his first wife, divorced in 2002, being interviewed about their marriage, Herschel is actually sitting beside her.
That part was deceitfully edited out.
The slanders show nothing new. Yet we hear them constantly, each version told with subtle and slight differences and the same words in different fonts, shot from a different camera angle, told as if it happened recently and not over two decades ago. They are following the strategy that if you tell a lie often enough, people will believe. Can the good people of Georgia be deceived so easily? Hollywood and New York think so.
It seems the Democrats don’t even have three fish and five loaves of bread worth of truth, yet they are trying to stretch it to fool 51% of the entire state of Georgia. It takes a real bearer of false witness to reach those lofty standards of deceit. Surely 51% of the people of Georgia can’t be so easily deceived. Hollywood and New York think they can.
Examine the claim that Herschel lied about how many employees he had. He claimed 600 employees. There were 600 people employed because of the effort and investment of Mr. Walker. To say to an audience of young people needing to hear a non-athletic success story from a Black man that was also successful in business that he had 600 employees was not a lie. It wasn’t even false. But on the silver tongue of Reverend Warnock, using IRS forms, it became a lie. Is deceit in a pulpit on Sunday wrong, but public deceit the other six days not? Millions of dollars from Hollywood and New York have been spent inflating that one statement. Will the richest candidate win? Hollywood and New York think so.
Oh, pastor, heal thyself.
Why doesn’t the good reverend focus on his accomplishments?
He has none. A trip to the gas station or the grocery store proves that.
He is a Biden/Pelosi acolyte. He does what they say. If you vote Warnock, you are voting for the inflationary policies of Biden and Pelosi. Your vote will harm poor people.
Warnock, Pelosi, and Biden.
Not exactly Warnock, Abernathy, and King
This is also from Breaking Free:
“My treatment was also supplemented by my faith in God. During the most trying times, when I was struggling with the diagnosis and the stigma of having a mental illness, I called upon my lifelong faith and the lessons my mother taught me. I remembered Mama sitting in an old rocking chair, slowly rocking back and forth with that big black book, the Bible, in her lap.”
That statement embodies Georgia values. Votes should be based on that, not on a slick tv ad.
Herschel Walker, the real Herschel Walker with Georgia values, not the New York and Hollywood created made for TV Herschel, is the candidate about whom everything is known. He is a good, decent, truthful man. He has overcome his hard times.
He may not be, as his opponent is, the best candidate for California or New York. But if the democrats have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to find fault in Herschel, and then had to resort to deceit slander and lies, their scheme has backfired.
They have proven that Herschel Walker is the best candidate for senator for Georgia.
