No, I specifically asked about the speeches you posted. You made a claim he was lying his butt off. Prove it.

I already did! He lied about being the Valedictorian of his high school class, and about graduating in the top 1% of his class from Georgia ... He never even graduated at all from Georgia. Call that whatever you want to. I call that lying his butt off.

Goodnight guys. And for the record, I have never claimed to be valedictorian, Johnson County Class of 1980. Wasn’t even valedictorian. Was Class of 80. Not Johnson County though.

Then you didn't follow the Jan Kemp scandal from the 1980's. No, I didn't make it up either. Be careful about accusing me of making up things. I have links to everything I state as fact.

He was a beneficiary of the academic fraud in those remedial English classes that she exposed at Georgia. So was All-American DB Terry Hoage.

Where are you getting these specific names from? I’ve lived down here since I was 8 and I know all about Jan Kemp, but I can’t remember ever seeing specific player names attached to the case other than a couple of football and basketball players that were ruled ineligible.

It's been a while, but I remember that there were 9 Georgia football players in the fall of 1981, who had failing grades in a remedial English course changed to passing grades in order for them to remain eligible to play in the 1982 Sugar Bowl vs Pittsburgh (which they lost anyway on a last minute 4th Down TD pass by Dan Marino). Jan Kemp complained about these grade changes and she was met with retaliation. That is where the scandal began. I'm positive that 2 of those 9 players were Terry Hoage and Herschel Walker. I will find a link.

The names were revealed during the trial ... which I believe was in 1986.

Like I said… I know who Jan Kemp was, when the trial was, and what the outcome was. I’ve just never seen Walker attached to it.

Truthfully, Georgia has no great choice. Warnock votes as he is told and Herschel will most likely vote similarly. Left and right respectively.

Of course. That's why it's so important to make the right choice during the primaries, because after the primaries it's nothing more than party line for 90% of the voters. I do not know why repubs are doing such an abysmal job with their primary choices....obviously highlighted by 2016.
It's almost as if they are wishing to pick the worst and most divisive candidate.

They are nominating candidates based on name recognition, and Trump's endorsement. I'm not complaining. It's a good way to lose elections, that you should otherwise win.

Roughly 90% won their primaries...I'm assuming that is a good number out of 100%

To be fair to Walker or any candidate for that matter running for Senate. Massachusetts voted for a white female who claimed to be Native American and lied about her "heritage" for decades to get ahead in college and employment. Just so the hypocrisy is recognized early as well as fraud by Pocahontas.

If Brian Kemp had simply listened to conventional wisdom and appointed Doug Collins rather than Kelly Loeffler 3 years ago, I really don’t think we’re having this conversation.

None of this is new. Ted Kennedy literally killed a woman.

I hadn't thought about it in a long time, but this is absolutely the way I remember it when it happened. Those two names (and Kay) were ALWAYS attached to the Kemp case.
