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.

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

More pathetic butt hurt posturing. Stop lying, stop with the smear jobs and make a case FOR your candidate
Right now there no difference between your sleazy tactics and how the Democrats work.
The are total scum when they do it, not any better when our side trys to play the scum game
The flip side of this is that Collins is a professional politician, while Loeffler entered politics after she made a fortune doing something else.
What's interesting is that this dynamic seems to be on display in the Senate race. Loeffler has been very low-key, while Collins' public statements carry a serious tone of desperation in them.
Johnnie, I think there is something wrong with your computer.
This message was posted multiple times and I don’t think that is what you wanted to do.
Sorry. He doesn't need to be 'picked'. Because he is going to win in November and then again in January.
At least we will be able to learn how long $20,000,000 will hold a U.S. Senate seat. A little over a year.
"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."
I am not sure what this even means. It is almost like you are unaware of the NRSC, SLF, or the Club for Growth? They have been running a scorched earth campaign from before he announced.
The case for Collins is accessible here, here, here, and here
Now show everyone how big a warrior Loeffler has been since last summer. Don't remember her stepping up and fighting back against impeachment. In fact, she did step up until Kemp was about to shut down his job portal.
I am sure you can provide video evidence like I have done. OR are you just call me a liar because you don't like the truth.
My radar, on Loeffler, went up the day after she was appointed and Midge McConnell said that she’d have the full support of the NRSC, for the upcoming election.
Good ol’ Midge....chosing the candidate, again.
It’s a big club....once you’re in it, hard to get folks out :(
;-)
What’s the leftist saying....if you repeat something enough times...
Jane, you’re a stitch.
Collins did his duty during Impeachment. Nothing more. He was not some sort of hero. He was on the Committee and made a point of communicating what the Democrat scum where trying to pull. That what we elected him to do
Because of that ONE thing, you are mindless fan girling for him. Trump offered him a job that desperately needed doing because he knows Collin’s is serious messing up here.
You don’t get to Collin’s level of politics nor last that many years by not being part of the GOP Establishment. He an old GOP E white guy who kissed the Chamber of Commerce ass a whole lot while in DC.
Stop with the pathetic butt hurt and whining. Grow up.
Politics isn’t about getting only what you want 100%. You a perfect example of why “Conservative Inc” has been the most ineffective political movement in US History. You are so busy flying off the handle against your own allies all the time that you are totally ineffective to actually win at anything political ever.
You exactly the same sort of dogmatic purist screamer that populate the Never Trump clown movement. The rest of us have to drag you screaming idiots to victory election after election because you all are far too stupid to know how to build political coalitions and win anything
First 50,000 votes is a chitload of votes. Get real!
The appointment smacks of corruption at the highest level. We dont want Blagojevich 2.0 here in GA. Kemp is a RINO governor only marginally better than Nathan Deal. He wants another RINO senator to follow RINO Isakson. Since you live in Minnesotastan you have no clue of the makeup of the political structure in GA. Go snowblow your sidewalk and figure out how to keep the muslims from taking over your whole state legislature. We’ll take care of GA.
Awww, Bless yer heart.... (you know which parts to emphatically enunciate)
LOL!
You just can't do it. You can not make any logical argument on why anyone should support Kelly Loeffler?
All you can point to her doing is voting against impeachment. Hell, ever Republican but Romeny did that. Oh yeah, the same guy Loeffler gave $750,000 but then Loeffler chose to make her critique of Romney as public as possible. Even Fake News CNN called her out for her public dressing down of Romney during impeachment. You know why? She needed to convince the rubes that she is the real deal.
And then you write about a white guy who kissed the Chamber of Commerce ass a whole lot while in DC. You are so uninformed that you did not even know that one of her "other allies include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Republican Senatorial Committee."
See. You have no facts to point to and say why Georgians should support Loeffler. All you have to offer are personal insults and then trying to have a pissing contest about how conservative you are v. everyone else. Like that actually matters.
Just remember that we are nothing more than letters on a screen to each other. And what you may think of me personally is insignificant.
So, how about you stop the personal attacks on everybody that disagrees with you and tell us why YOU support Loeffler. Or just piss off.
Because of that ONE thing, you are mindless fan girling for him. Trump offered him a job that desperately needed doing because he knows Collin’s is serious messing up here.
