Amash isn’t a Conservative. He’s a weird little Paleo-Paulite who takes umbrage at jokes made against Iranian Dictator Ahminutjob.
Thank you for your input.
Who do you recommend?
I live in the 1st district, so thanks for posting this info.
You are welcome!
Uhhh, the first state picture is Mississippi, not Montana.
Someone goofed on the state you had the shape of Alabama, it you wrote Montana.
Edit: Mississippi I meant, not Alabama...didn’t have my coffee yet.. :-)
Thanks to you both.
When I first grabbed the html, c/p’ed it, the pics of the states didn’t show up.
Plus the one who did the html made it so complicated that when I finally got the state pics to show up it looks like I screwed up bad!
Oh well, should have just left the text...
Thanks again!

Hear what T.W. Shannon, the U.S. Senate candidate from Oklahoma, had to say
In this week's "On the Campaign Trail" podcast, we are joined by T.W. Shannon. T.W. discusses his campaign for the U.S. Senate in Oklahoma where he hopes to replace the seat vacated by Tom Coburn.
A champion for limited government, T.W. first was elected to the state House of Representatives in 2006 from his hometown of Lawton. Chosen by his Republican House colleagues, T.W. became Oklahoma's youngest and first African American House speaker. He is also an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation.
When T.W. became speaker of the House in Oklahoma, he advocated for policies that could break the devastating cycle of government dependency, instead helping people move toward self-reliance.
T.W. talks about his experience as a new generation conservative leader, as well as the national debt, Obamacare, states' rights, and his philosophy on the Constitution and conservative principles.
You are really going to enjoy this interview with a candidate that has been endorsed by Gov. Sarah Palin and is a rising star in the Republican party.
2014 is going to be a huge election year as we fight to hold onto the House and are poised to take the gavel out of Harry Reid's hands and take control of the Senate. It is important that we enter 2014 prepared and informed. Here is your chance to get to know one of the outstanding U.S. Senate candidates, T.W. Shannon.
"On the Campaign Trail" is a weekly podcast that features interviews with House and Senate candidates as well as Tea Party leaders to provide voters with a regular discussion of important political issues and campaigns.
A new Tea Party Express podcast will be available every Tuesday on the Tea Party Express website HERE or it is available by subscription on both RSS and iTunes.
THIS IS HOW WE WIN!
We know exactly how to win this special election in Florida. In a recent Tea Party Express poll, we asked the simple question, "IF YOU LEARNED THAT THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS AND OTHER TEA PARTY GROUPS WERE SUPPORTING CURT CLAWSON, FOR WHOM WOULD YOU VOTE?"
The results were amazing! When voters learned about Curt's Tea Party support, he surged to a 17% LEAD over his liberal opponent!
This is how we win this race - we get out and show voters that Curt is a bold Tea Party conservative. But we need to get the word out TODAY!
...when people realize Curt is the Tea Party candidate it gives him a 2 to 1 lead!
As a former CEO, Curt Clawson is a job creator, a job saver and the ONLY Tea Party conservative in this race.
• Clawson has experience cleaning up fiscal messes.
• Curt Clawson didn't use a dime of government bailout money to save his company that was over $2.2 billion in debt.
• Curt Clawson already has a fiscal plan to save the American economy called The Clawson Growth Plan.
• Clawson would repeal ObamaCare, reduce spending, reform the tax code and fight to rein-in Obama's bloated bureaucracy.
LET'S GET THE WORD OUT THAT HE IS THE ONLY TEA PARTY CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE!
For which race ? Against Amash ? His opponent in the primary, Brian Ellis. Other than that, I agree with the bulk of your list of endorsements.
I have many other quibbles besides that piece of trash Amash. Tea party express is wrong much the time and always in the tank for Paulbots.
Kerry Bentivolio, like Amash, is a member of the Paul wing of the party. His presence in Congress is a fluke due to McCotter's abrupt departure leaving him the only Republican on the ballot. We're lucky he didn't lose the general election, he lost the simultaneous special election for the rest of the term which was conducted under the old lines and against a different, better, rat opponent than the one that ran for the full term. He's a poor fundraiser and ripe for defeat by a strong democrat challenger. I endorse his primary opponent Dave Trott, who has out raised him.
Conservative Senator Pat Roberts doesn't need to be replaced at all, let alone with a cypher from out of nowhere like Cousin Milt.
Massie doesn't appear to have a primary challenger so I don't know why he's been endorsed. He's another Paulbot, wish he did have a challenger.
In LA-6 it wouldn't surprise me if Paul Dietzel was a Paulbot but I'm by no means certain he is. The important thing there is stopping ultra-RINO State Senator Dan Claitor. Black conservative Trey Thomas is an interesting choice.
In FL-19, Palin's choice of Lizbeth Benacquisto seems right to me. Classon seems like one of those random guys who does nothing but shout how "tea party" he is and attack his opponents for the nerve of having a record in the state legislature. He also won the support of the seat's former occupant, Connie Mack the lesser. Boo.
The others I agree with, I think Alex Mooney is a very interesting choice for WV-2. He was a promising State Senator across the state line in Maryland until he lost in 2010 of all years (his district must have been souring or else his rat opponent the Mayor of Fredrick was too popular). He might be getting some flack for recently moving to WV.
What do you think of Chad Mathis?
Oops, I should’ve said I agree with “some” of the endorsements, not the bulk of them, as they clearly are Paulbots. I don’t agree with Wolf in KS or Mooney in WV (who blew a safe state Senate seat in MD, losing in 2010 (!) to an extreme left moonbat, and fared poorly as state party chairman before quickly pulling up stakes and carpetbagging over to the state).
“What do you think of Chad Mathis?”
Doctor (Orthopedic Surgeon) from Alabama 6. Volunteered for Ted Cruz in Texas.
Nice list of endorsements. Red state, I don’t trust Erick Erickson, the hell with him.
But Ken Blackwell supports him, Andy Harris, Freedom Works, Mike Lee, Senate Conservatives Fund (they do House too, I don’t agree with all their picks, like Milton Wolf but their support is a positive).
Looks good to me. People seem to be very high on him.
Being party chair in MD is kinda like being Captain of the Titanic, post-iceberg. Was his seat safe?
Mooney is getting all the endorsements, including from L. Ron. barf. But also good endorsements.
I don’t know much about the other candidates. Former U.S. International Trade Commissioner Charlotte Lane appears to be his strongest challenger. Several others, Steve Harrison former State Senator. Ken Reed, Ron Walters. I don’t know how the locals feel about the carpetbagger issue.
I forget to mention Kwansman, the guy this thread is about. He seems okay. I read he tried to get third parties kicked off the ballot, which is good, the Libertarian helped Kilpatrick to a 48% win. He was just elected to the State House in 2012, looking to move up fast. His foes are House Speaker Andy Tobin and Rancher Gary Kiehne.
Mooney was running for his 4th term. For him to lose as he did in the year that he did was really amazing (his was one of 4 seats that were lost in the State Senate by a handful of single digit %). It was bizarre that he was promoted to State Chairman immediately after he lost. I think he was just biding his time to succeed Roscoe Bartlett, but the 2012 redistricting put a halt to that. He soon left the job because he was considered ineffective.
Curiously, he didn’t move far away, just a half-hour drive from Frederick to the opposite side of the Potomac River (Falling Waters), so he’s also far more “Maryland-centered” in a district that stretches clear to Southern Ohio.
As for the other candidates, Lane is trending towards her late 60s and was claimed to be pro-abort and anti-2A. I don’t have a clear choice amongst those runnings. It may end up being Mooney, but I’m troubled by his withdrawal across the Potomac rather than standing up and fighting in Maryland.
