Endorsement of Perdue, Irvin, and Staton in Georgia

After careful observation and analyzation, I feel that it is important to discuss the candidates who I believe are the most qualified and the most conservative for Georgia's Governorship, Senate seat, and 11th U.S. Congressional District.

Regarding the position of governor, Sonny Perdue comes out on top among most issues, in terms of taking a Conservative and Common Sense stand. Perdue is the best candidate in the area of taxes, education, redistricting, traffic and the environment (not rabid environmentalist), homelife and the family, as well as has a solid Pro-Life stance. The only one fault of Sonny Perdue is his campaign appears non-chalant in attitude in regard to illegal immigration, and the belief that it is to be a sole federal issue, regardless if the federal government has proven not to do its job. In this area, Linda Schrenko is the most qualified, for she believes that the states should have a say. However, since we have to look at the overall package, and since governors hold less sway than senators and house members in this regard, it is best to go with the candidate who has the most conservative platform, and who can can help turn around big government in the state. It is for this reason that I endorse Sonny Perdue.

In reference to the senate campaign, I endorse Bob Irvin, as he appears to be the most conservative and an avid supporter of less government. He is against illegal immigration, is for the abolition of the IRS and the Federal Income Tax (replaced by a NRST). He is staunchly Pro-Life, and is for the second amendment. Bob also wants to cut pork barrel spending. Though Chambliss is against illegal immigration and is pro-life, he is proposing increases in the scope of government in regard to prescription drugs, medicare, and healthcare. While these may be noble ideals, it is possible that such policies will morph into full-blown socialized medicine in the future. Furthermore, will all this be paid for with increases in taxes, something of which Chambliss does not advocate. Again, Bob Irvin appears to be the most qualified candidate.

For those of you in the newly created eleventh U.S. Congressional District, I endorse Cecil Staton. This man is a Christian and is not afraid to state it. He's staunchly Pro-Life, Pro-Family, and Pro-Faith. He is against illegal immigration, is for tax reform, excellent education reform, second amendment rights, and is for policies that will help American business and cut government waste. Thus, I endorse him, even though Bob Herriott and Phil Gingrey appear to be good candidates as well.

I will readily vote for Sonny Perdue if he matches up with Roy Barnes, but went with Bill Byrne in the primary today.
