GAGOP CHAIRMAN: CARTER’S FREUDIAN SLIP IS TELLING

During last night’s televised debate hosted by the Atlanta Press Club, liberal Democrat Jason Carter declared that government was responsible for “doling out rights” (23:50) to the people. In response to Carter’s misguided comments, Georgia Republican Party Chairman John Padgett issued the following statements:

“Jason Carter is wrong about a lot of things – Obamacare, Medicaid Expansion, income caps on HOPE Scholarships, and bigger more expensive government – but his belief that government grants rights and freedoms to the people is unconscionable.

“Our rights and freedoms come from God – not government. As the Declaration of Independence clearly states, ‘we have been endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.’

“But I guess Senator Carter’s Freudian slip isn’t too shocking. Another Senator from Chicago believes that government is the originator and allocator of rights and freedoms. And just like the state of Georgia rejected the candidacy of Barack Obama, Georgia voters will reject the candidacy of Jason Carter.”
