Don’t Eat the Rat Poison

Don’t eat the rat poison. As we draw closer to election day, we hear more talk of a huge red wave. Before you pop the champagne cork, let me warn you, early voting numbers are not showing the red wave everywhere.

I want to talk primarily with my friends in the 2nd Congressional District. Sanford Bishop and Democrats in Congress are scared. They are pouring in money to the 2nd District and they are getting their voters to the polls.

Republican Chris West can and will win this fight if conservatives show up. Herschel Walker will win statewide if conservatives show up. Brian Kemp has a lead for governor, but conservatives must show up or that lead will evaporate.

We love to hear predictions and the analysis of what could be a red wave on November 8. But this kind of thinking can lead to a tragic let-down. Nick Saban calls it rat poison.

It looks so good. It seems so easy. It will be a slam dunk. Let that thinking go to your head and the next thing you know, you are writhing on the floor in agony.

Have you voted? The bottom line is that YOU are the red wave. It is your vote that counts. The moment you assume that all the other conservatives are going to show up and run over the Democrats is the moment that we get out-flanked and out-voted.

They are doing it to us now in the 2nd District. We have to come out in the 2nd half all the way through the end of the game to get the win. It is in our hands, we just have to focus on running the plays and not get distracted by the deadly rat poison.

When you hear the pundits talk about the red wave, let that be a reminder to go vote. If you have already voted, then call a friend and ask them to go vote. Offer to give them a ride.

The races are going to be close and every vote counts. You are the one to make the difference. Don’t eat the rat poison. Be the red wave. Go vote today!
