‘More than fishy’ Collins slams sudden cash surge for pro-Loeffler group
AJC ^ | 022820 | Greg Bluestein

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. They’ve hardly raised $50,000 and then they suddenly announce a $3 million ad buy?” he asked. “It’s more than fishy. They can deny it all they want. I guess they thought I’d be quiet and not say anything about it.”

Federal tax records show the organization has never amassed that kind of cash before.

If you did look it up you would know that Conservative Review consistently rated Isakson in the low 30’s. He was a liberal masquerading as a conservative. Isakson supported every govt bailout, was an author of no child left behind and supported common core. The guy didnt have a conservative bone in his body. He and Chambliss were joined at the hip.

But now you want to vote for Loeffler who is going to likely be Isakson in a skirt when you could vote for Doug Collins who should have gotten the appointment in the first place but he didn’t have $500,000 to buy out Kemp’s debt.

Yep. And all the GOP Kapos who insisted we had to vote for Loeffler types will be nowhere to be found as one red state after another flips to blue due to the very open borders policies supported by the GOPe.

Is Collins definitely running?

Excellent question! I haven't seen ANYTHING from him, but as soon as Loeffler took office she started running ads

As I mentioned before, stick to FL and stop assuming you have any clue at all about GA politics.

Loffer has not just said things she voted 100% in line with Trump’s wishes

Abrams, a total joke, came withing 50,000 votes of winning against a GOP Establishment white male in 2018. PURE idiocy to be provoking a Civil War in the party in 2020 by having another GOP Establishment white male candidate just so Collins can stroke his ego.

Collins was given a perfect out by Trump. A job he is very well qualified for and desperately needs doing but instead his ego ran away with him

Liar

When you have to shamelessly lie like that, you have all ready lost the debate

When supposed “Conservatives” come around here and use the Democrat Fascists propaganda tactics of trashing the opposition instead of making the case of their candidates, GOP voters tune them OUT.

So stop lying and make the case FOR your side.

Still lying I see.

Not impressed with lying and trash talk. When you adopt the Democrat Fascist party trash talk tactics, you lose.

Collins ego is running away with him and it is probably going to cost the GOP what should be a safe US Senate seat.

The deep state is very afraid of Trump appointing even more judges. They want to stop it. They'll do what it takes to make us lose the senate.

Your attempt to use Democrat Fascist part bot trash talk behavior indicate you have not thought at all about this and are merely flaming out based on pure emotional hysteria and total ignorance

Stop emoting and try thinking for once. Sorry you butthurt Kemp did not pick Collings. Get over it
