When the Georgia Life Alliance needed an emcee for its annual gala in October, the conservative anti-abortion group turned to one of its favorite politicians: U.S. Rep. Doug Collins.
A few weeks later, though, the alliance stunned the Republican congressman when it announced it would spend at least $3 million on an ad blitz to back U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, the Republican incumbent whom Collins is challenging in November.
Collins questioned how a group that struggled to raise significant cash unveiled an expensive initiative to support Loeffler. What I think is happening is they got a large infusion of cash from Kelly. Theyve hardly raised $50,000 and then they suddenly announce a $3 million ad buy? he asked. Its more than fishy. They can deny it all they want. I guess they thought Id be quiet and not say anything about it.
Federal tax records show the organization has never amassed that kind of cash before.

Stating facts is being ‘butthirt’??
If you think Loeffler is conservative prepare for disappointment. She and Kemp are both dirty. You must have loved Chambliss and Isakson. Sadly voters like you keep these RINOs in office.
Also, Collins is the only one going negative. Hell, I bet Collins stoops lower than Casey Cagle... and that’s pretty damn low.
Loeffler has stayed completely positive.
She’s the one following the Ronald Reagan Principle.
If Collins wants people to consider voting for him, maybe he should introduce himself to the voters. Lay out his record and his vision for Georgia and the country. Most voters don’t even know who the hell he is.
Please.
At the Perry National Fairgrounds, I told Chambliss(who will pick the Vidalia onions) to his face that I would leave his oval blank if he ran for re-election.
Isakson wasn’t a bad Senator. Stayed too long, but he wasn’t bad.
Sounds like you are supporting Collins since he has a record in the U.S. House going back to 2013 and "Senator" Loeffler goes back to January 6, 2020.
Let's look at that "track record"
There have been 62 votes since she has been in office.
15- of those votes were for judges (not a hard vote).
2- "not guilty" (She voted against Mitt)
40- were agreements to motions
3- were rejections of cloture motions.
1- was the passage of a joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress. (That one was AGAINST President Trump for killing Soleimani in Iraq)
1- was the passage of the USMCA (She really had to think that one through, huh?)
Is Collins definitely running?
If so, he better get his butt in gear.
Just saw a Loeffler commercial two seconds ago. A new one that focused on her childhood/background.
Haven’t seen or heard squat from Collins.... except for incessant whining.
I strongly suggest he just focus on himself, his record, and his vision and leave out any attacks on Loeffler.
Comparisons are fine, but flat out attacks are going to get him nowhere. We had enough of that in the 2018 republican primary and run off.
Isakson was an undocumented Democrat. He never saw a liberal bill he didnt like. Perdue is co-sponsoring a red flag law with Michael Bloomberg and I’ll bet you think he’s an OK senator too. No wonder you like Kemp and Loeffler.
You are blatantly ignoring fact after fact that shows total corruption going on by Kemp and Loeffler and you are still going to vote for this woman. A person you know nothing about and likely never heard her name before the day Kemp magically appointed her to the US senate. Why do you think he did that? Out of the clear blue sky. The woman has no voting record so you have no clue how she will vote on anything. She loves Trump so much she and her billionaire husband gave Trump zero dollars in 2016.
You need to do some hard thinking between now and the primary.
Seriously? She refuses to do media interviews since her flameout on Fox. She is like Bloomberg and is paying her surrogates to carry the negative water
I guess you missed the Club for Growth or the NRSC statement or how about the Senate Leadership Fund
You keep telling yourself that "Shes the one following the Ronald Reagan Principle" if that helps you feel better about letting Mitch McConnell select GA's Senator .
I’m not going to bother to look it up, but Isakson voted
with the Repubicans about 96 to 98% of the time.
Tell me one negative thing she has said about Collins.
Thanks for that deep thought, Mr. Jack Handey
She will not address the public or meet with the media. Just this past weekend she bailed out on the Gwinnett Caucus because she would rather hide behind Mitch McConnell and the NRSC to throw her shade. Ask Micheal Bloomberg how easy it is to get others to carry your water when you dump cash in their coffers.
Back at you, Collins.
Don’t blame me that you’re dumb enough to spew negativity out of your own mouth.
Hell, I follow politics pretty damn closely and I have no idea who you are. But, my first impression is that you’re a nasty, self-involved piece of work.
Like I said, better get busy introducing yourself to the voters.... and try not to whine or be nasty.
Great that Collins is opposing this duplicity. I heard this ad and wondered what a pro-life group was doing saying good things about Louffler. Didn’t seem right.
Glad that Collins is setting the record straight. I’m voting for him — a good reason to get out there.
You follow politics and you don’t know Doug Collins???
I am six states away from GA, and I know him well.
You are either NOT following politics or you “lack candor.”
bloomie monies.
dont be quiet, scream it from the rooftops
Collins should shelve his ego and stop costing us a Senate Seat.
Loffler been 100% pro Trump.
She’s on a primary ballot. Of course she’s going to be pro Trump. Even Romney said nice things about POTUS when he needed Trump votes. Past performance is not an indicator of the future here. Sorry.
Ahhh. You are deploying Alinsky Rule Number 5 "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
The facts aren't on your side so just dive right into the character assassination.
I feel sure that you are a fine person.
If Collins thinks he’s well known, he’s mistaken.
I’m on Free Republic every day.
And, Yes, I know next to nothing about Doug Collins.
And, I assure you, neither do 95% of Georgians.
Over the years, about the only political story I didn’t pay attention to was that farce of an impeachment trial.
Did not watch one second of it.
Use to live in Georgia. People against Collins and what's going on in this election just don't understand that THIS is about the CITIZENS of the state if Georgia determining WHO represents them.
As it stands now, Loeffler is the Georgia GOVERNORS choice, not the people's choice and McTurtle is interfering in the process of the people of GEORGIA choosing.
