Why, oh why do We, the People have any compelling reasons to vote for any Doormat Republicans, or Obama Democrats who have promised to advance Obama’s Agenda to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America” by increasing the number of undocumented Democrat voters who are Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico?

DUH!

We, the People know that it is time, - - - time for a change.

“The good news for the Republicans is that their three individuals who are pressing to make an almost certain runoff in July are considered attractive candidates and, at the same time, are strong conservatives in a state where moderate-to-conservative views still dominate the political landscape. “

Gee, attractive candidates who are strong conservatives.

Who would have thought to have people like that run ?

I think the author shows he doesn’t know much about ANYTHING.

I’m still laughing. Michelle Nunn a nobody until recently with the personality of naval lint has a better chance of getting killed in a drone strike than being elected to that senate seat.

As much as I wish Paul Broun would win and I’m voting for him in the primary its prolly going to be a runoff between Handel and Perdue.

Nathan Deal major disappointment that he is will still cruise to reelection in Nov.

"Congressman Jack Kingston, who has been a loyal Republican since his college days, has the backing of the state's business community and many longtime GOP activists."

VOTE FOR JACK KINGSTON!

But the lackadaisical attitude of voters toward this primary (May 20) should give Republicans around the nation pause for concern.

Not sure voters in GA or SC are are lackadaisical. We're just waiting for a big shoe to drop and we know it's coming. (It's kinduv like it must feel for citizens of the Ukraine, too weak to stop the invaders.)

As for giving the GOPe pause for concern: Get an ulcer folks!

I wondered what anyone could possibly have against Jack Kingston. I know him personally. He's a very good man. Sean knows him too.

When I say "Kick every one of 'em out!" he's the only exception I would make.

I feel the same about kicking them all out, with few exceptions.

I personally don’t know anything about Kingston and don’t have anything against him. I hate the way it is, but we all have to start the candidate elimination process somewhere. Hannity’s endorsement doesn’t hurt him with me, but the Boortz endorsement definitely does. It’s similar to an Ann Coulter endorsement. Also, I don’t entirely trust Peach Pundit. Admittedly, sometimes I have to come back to the candidate I had previously eliminated and give a second look, so it’s not a cut-and-dry decision.

My first choice right now would be Broun, because he’s my congressman and I like his ideas — and the fact that he supports Ted Cruz, Mike Lee.

Boortz says Nunn would make mincemeat out of Broun. He may be right about that, because she would use his numerous marriages against him. But basically, no one really knows him except his constituents, and that also hurts him. So Broun is also eliminated as far as I’m concerned.

I believe Nunn has been chosen by the dems because #1 she’s a woman and #2 she’s Sam’s girl. So it will be hard to campaign against her. They’ll play to some who, no matter the party, like Sam Nunn. And to others they’ll be successful with portraying her opposition as “the bad old man is being mean to the little lady.”

Candidates Who Have Taken the Pledge
Karen Handel, GA
Posted on May 15, 2014 by admin
Posted in Candidates, Congress, Senate Candidate

Candidate Questionnaire: Will you promise to protect American workers?

http://fairtaskforce.com/

DA King (local amnesty opponent) supports Handel for Senate.

I think Broun, Gingrey and even Kingston (a Mike Enzi who doesnt rock the boat) may be okay on amnesty. Perdue is going to be the worst.

Two Tea Party favorites, Reps. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Steve King, of Iowa were approached about joining the Appropriations Committee, but passed, Kingston said.

King said he turned it down because the 50-member committee was looking only for token Tea Party participation and wasn’t interested in bringing in a coalition carrying the Tea Party message.

“To go on the Appropriations Committee and to sit there alone and fight a lonely battle, I didn’t think that would be the most effective use of my time in this Congress,” King sai

I know Jack personally. He is exactly what we want. Check out his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/KingstonWorks

Maybe Boortz is a clock that's not working and this is one of his twice-a-days.

As for Coulter, I still like her, but her push for Christie reduced my confidence in her endorsements to zilch.

Look carefully at Kingston.
