David Perdue wins Republican Senate nomination
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | July 22, 2014 | Daniel Malloy

Businessman David Perdue stunned Georgia’s Republican political establishment Tuesday by capturing the party’s U.S. Senate nomination in his first run for office.

The former CEO of Reebok and Dollar General toppled 11-term Rep. Jack Kingston by a narrow margin, setting up a battle of political newcomers with famous kin in the fall. Perdue’s cousin, Sonny, was a two-term governor and Nunn’s father, Sam, was a four-term U.S. Senator....

We’ll there you go again. I NEVER said Perdue was going to be a Ted Cruz. And you can’t show me any where that I said that. I did say I voted for him and why and those reasons were stated in May as well as in this thread. You just want to argue.

You claim to be so all knowing and wise about all things political ... Who have you ever even voted for? And if you throw out some loony libertarian name then all will be revealed.

And for the record since you wanted to brag about dissing Arnold... I voted yes on the recall and cast my ballot for McCintock.

"So then can we expect David Purdue to lock arms with Ted Cruz and Mike Lee should he win the vacant Georgia Senate seat in November???"

You have no understanding of the English language.

I know you think you are so much smarter than everyone else.
Tell me why you won’t answer my question? Who have you actually ever voted for?

I posit until proven otherwise that you don’t vote at all you just belly ache. Enjoy Lamar oh wise one

"You just want to argue."

No, sir. I wish to reply and set the record straight. You're the one who said umpteen posts ago you were "done" with this discussion, yet you can't seem to keep your own word, and keep rushing back to have the last word (which then gets you even more in trouble). Why can't you admit you got caught ? Instead, you let loose with a litany of red herrings, dodges, repeating of falsehoods, unsubstantiated claims, insults and general rage.

"You claim to be so all knowing and wise about all things political ... Who have you ever even voted for? And if you throw out some loony libertarian name then all will be revealed."

I vote Conservative. I am not a Libertarian.

"And for the record since you wanted to brag about dissing Arnold... I voted yes on the recall and cast my ballot for McClintock."

Good.

It's sad to see a man of your age acting so childish because he lost an argument. Getting up to run to the computer at all hours of the night just to get in a last word. Must be what all those years in California did to your soul...

‘Exactly. Those who follow Georgia politics knew this before the election. It is why Karen Handel’s endorsement of Kingston did NO good. The primary showed that folks didn’t want Kingston. The second round proved it’

I not only live in GA; I live in Kingston’s district. I had him figured out the very first time I wrote to him with some issue concerns. No one in his office read my email. Not one concern I mentioned was addressed by the pabulum that was sent back. Some could-care-less intern must have scanned my carefully composed letter & discovered a key word. Then I was sent a smarmy, condescending, GOPe-inspired puke of a response that served only to insult me. It was probably composed by Boehner and distributed to all his most reliable mini-mes, of whom Kingston was foremost.

People don’t know it, but Kingston himself said Obamacare could not be allowed to fail. It would not, in Kingston’s own words, be “responsible” to allow it to fail. I didn’t believe that could actually be true until I read Kingston’s quote with my own eyes. He sure had a lot of people fooled.

Speaking of which, I have the link to an interview in which he says he is open to multiple new gun control laws. His favorite being Fed Gov mandated gun storage laws. What a disastrous boondoggle that would be. But of course, Kingston is pro-gun rights. He said so himself.

Then there is the email he sent me extolling the value of “cheap labor” for GA’s agricultural sector. Can you say ‘comprehensive immigration reform’? Kingston sure could...until the issue became radioactive in this last election. Then...oops, course correction. Lol.

Oh, and did you know the 6.3 million dollar earmark Kingston secured to shore up the beaches on Tybee Island, where he has a vacation home, did NOT benefit Kingston? Well you should know that, because Kingston said he got no benefit from that at all. So what if a refurbished beach maintains the property values in the exact area Kingston’s home is located. It’s still no benefit to him. Anybody who disagrees is just being disagreeable.

I’m so sorry the CoC wasn’t able to get their best buddy reelected. They flushed a record amount of cash down the drain in that effort. My heart feels like an alligator. I sincerely do wish Kingston all the best. After all those pay raises he voted himself, I doubt he’s hurting. & now he has time to enjoy that beach he forced taxpayers to replenish. I’m sure there’s a lovely breeze on Tybee Island this time of year. Best to you, Kingston—I am SO glad you’re no longer my Rep!

So who did you vote for in 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012????

My guess is you weren’t old enough to vote in many of those elections. I also guess that you would have never voted for Ronald Reagan because he didn’t fit you idea of conservative and after all was a smarmy rich person.

Seems to me you are the only one continuing to post during all hours of the night.

You truly are ridiculous.

See if you can figure this out

Thank you. These are the very reasons I decided to vote for Perdue. What irks me is folks who make themselves out to be experts about everything politics because “they keep up with it”. Well they just don’t and can’t. No one can be an expert on every race in every state....not even important races in every state.

I too am glad that Jack is no longer going to be your representative. Too bad that the blood suckers in DC have set themselves up with a retirement plan that neither you nor I will ever achieve.... and we have to pay for it.

What relevance is the question about my Presidential votes ? These are all red herrings you tossed out when you realized you lost the argument.

Oh, and btw, Reagan HAD a record of fighting for the Conservative cause before he was elected Governor of California. Perdue is no Ronald Reagan, not a true Conservative, as you said previously (and now claim he is).

You lose arguments and you name call like an angry child. You, sir, are no gentleman.
