We are in a culture war. Do Georgia GOPers care about GOP Senator insider trading

I'm not sure they do. They SHOULD. Do they?

I think mostly they care about "sticking to the libs" and nothing ---- nothing --- else.

I see so many ads being produced about Loeffler & Purdue corruption. I'm kind of thinking GOP voters just don't give a damn.

You know the rule of conservatives -- nothing is a problem unless it his happening to them personally, right now. And they don't see how insider trading hurts them at all.

I think a better angle is to paint them as trump betrayers. As RINOs. For ad purposes.

It’s obvious that they don’t give a damn what any of those crooks do. As long as they get to hurt other people, nothing else matters.

It really is an ugly thing to behold. Not that it wasn't selfish and cynical decades ago, but it seems to have really intensified since 2008. The lengths they will go to with their money grubbing and power grabbing is disturbing. They care not a bit about the damage that they do, their eyes are always on the prize. And they do it while wrapped up in the flag and brandishing bibles.

I’ve heard them ask how every one of them become millionaires on 175,000 dollar salary. I hear it all the time.

And probably think they would do it too if given the opportunity. The fact it's a FEDERAL CRIME just goes over their heads.

Part of the purpose behind "smaller gov't" is to make it easier to do so.

They represent the epitome of 30 years of RNC breeding. They are the finest corruption examples that they have to offer the American people.

If so, the Retrumplicans don't give a shit.

Hell, 80-90% of them would gladly send their preteen daughters to an Epstein Slumber Party hosted by Donnie Dipshit.

They'd support Satan himself if he was the right shade of orange.

It's time we realize that you can't persuade them, you surely can't shame them.

The only thing you can do is stomp a giant hole right through the middle of them at the ballot box.

Even then, like a vampire, they won't go away.
