The stage is set in Georgia

And then there’s the 10th district, where pastor Jody Hice is set to replace Paul Broun. Who’s Jody Hice? I’m glad you asked.

In a 2012 book, that candidate – pastor and talk radio host Jody Hice – alleges the gay community has a secret plot to recruit and sodomize children, In It’s Now or Never: A Call to Reclaim America, Hice also asserts that supporters of abortion rights are worse than Hitler and compares gay relationships to bestiality and incest. He proposes that Muslims be stripped of their First Amendment rights. […]

Hice claims homosexuality causes shorter life spans and depression, and he insists same-sex couples cannot raise healthy children…. Hice also offers an extreme interpretation of the Constitution, claiming states can nullify federal laws and take up arms against the federal government if they consider a federal law unjust…. In Hice’s view, the United States took a turn for the worse after the Civil War…. Hice argues that Muslim immigrants constitute an existential challenge to the United States…. Hice also compares reproductive rights advocates to Nazis.

As if that weren’t quite enough, just last week, Hice suggested armed Americans should “step up” to defend the nation against unaccompanied migrant children.

Given the makeup of the district, Hice’s general election victory is all but assured. He’ll be in Congress next year.

2. And some think we can win a couple of statewide races in my home state.

Nope. Too bad my former State Senator Jason Carter and Michelle Nunn aren't running in ten years or so...

3. This is a more hopeful article

Unfortunately, GA is so gerrymandered that we are almost guaranteed to send a couple of nutcases to congress. I am hoping the statewide races go more left.

4. Is "hice" the plural of "house" ?

mouse / mice
louse / lice

Would one grain of rice be called a "rouse" ?
