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.”

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

Jack Kingston handed back his NumbersUSA survey and is now a true reformer.

The Chamber of Commerce wants someone who wont rock the boat and someone who doesnt hate people with high school education.

Madison Project listed all these establishment candidates especially from the South with their views in conflict with the Chamber.
