Republican Governors Association: Stacey Whoever is Wrong for Georgia #gagop
The Republican Governors Association (RGA) has gone on the offensive against both Democratic gubernatorial candidates Stacey Abrams and Stacey Evans. They have launched a radio ad and a digital campaign highlighting the two Stacey’s support for tax hikes and big government programs.
The RGA has a website set up at www.StaceyWhoever.com that will be a hub for the digital campaign. You can also listen to the radio ad there.
RGA Communications Director Jon Thompson:
“If elected, Stacey Whoever has made it clear that they would back a far-left agenda that includes more big government spending and tax hikes on Georgians. In the midst of a divisive and nasty Democrat primary, one thing is clear: Stacey Whoever is wrong for Georgia.”

Seems like it would be a less useful strategy once the primary is over.
I read the post title and my first thought was – “What is Ed posting now?” before I saw it was Lawton who wrote it. I don’t know if sounding like Ed is a good or a bad thing for the RGA.
It’s all just chum in the water. There used to be some substance mixed in, but now it’s all bumper sticker slogans and Outrage Generator Triggers ™. People have to demand better. Reject this kind of BS.
The response that I have received in the past for these kind of ads: “They work.”
I know. It’s a sad state of affairs.
But we can change it!
“It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
Political consultants sell spin, lies and attack ads because it generates billable income. Of course they are going to say, “They work.” That what the Russians said, too. They just did it better.
