GA, of all places, has "fail" written all over for the republicans. a packed field could put two todd akins into the runoff, either of which would lose to the increasingly moderate sounding daughter of former senator sam nunn.

Quote:GOPers spar in Georgia primary debate

Georgia Republican Reps. Jack Kingston, Phil Gingrey and Paul Broun sparred Saturday with each other and four other candidates in the next-to-last debate ahead of the May 20 Georgia Senate primary.

The debate, held near Augusta, Ga., appeared to feature no major gaffes by any candidate, although it was notable for Broun's attacks on Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Gingrey's explicit promise to serve only one term in the Senate if he cannot fully repeal ObamaCare.

The battle to be the Republican candidate in the race to replace retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) also features David Perdue, Georgia Ports Authority board member, and the former CEO of Dollar General; centrist patent attorney Art Gardner; black conservative political activist Rev. Derrick Grayson; and Karen Handel, a former secretary of State of Georgia.

Kingston, who this week received the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, was unapologetic in presenting himself as an experienced Washington insider, despite strong attacks from Perdue who argued only an outsider can reign in the federal debt.

“I am not going to apologize for being a long time soldier in this fight,” Kingston said, noting his strong ratings from the National Federation of Independent Businesses, National Right to Life campaign and National Rifle Association.

Quote: Michelle Nunn endorses Keystone pipeline construction

Michelle Nunn told volunteers for her U.S. Senate campaign gathered in Marietta on Monday that she would support completion of the fourth phase of the Keystone XL pipeline in the name of economic development and national security.

“I have a lot of friends who have different perspectives on Keystone,” Nunn said. “We need to continue to focus on green energy and finding sustainable sources of energy, but I do believe we should move forward with Keystone.”

Quote:Michelle Nunn's first ad shows tie to George Bush

Democrat Michelle Nunn’s first TV ad of the high-stakes U.S. Senate race in Georgia gives a shout to a famous political figure. Not her father, the ex-senator, but former President George H.W. Bush.

“While leading President Bush’s Points of Light Foundation, we grew it into the world’s largest organization dedicated to public service,” Nunn says in the ad, as an image of Bush with his hand on her shoulder flashes on the screen.

Kingston is the RINO's choice.

Broun would be like another Jim DeMint ... a disaster on social issues but an unapologetic hard liner on everything fiscal. Just like with DeMint, I can deal with the social herp derps if I can get total fiscal satisfaction.

So what do you consider a disaster on social issues....believes in the traditional family, believes in traditional marriage, anti abortion...etc?

Believes in God? Doesn't want legal drugs for all?

you would think that GA was like our state, SC, where the republican automatically wins.

I worry about GA.

DeMint also almost lost in his first run for US Senate in SC. He said that gays shouldn't be allowed to teach. I bet okla agrees with that ... but it nearly cost him even in SC even 10-15 years ago.

Believes in having a federal government big enough, invasive enough, and powerful enough to impose its desire for social norms upon you.

As long as it is consensual and harms no third parties ... it is none of the government's d*mn business.

I have no problem with gay teachers. I'm sure I had teachers who were gay in my school days. I have a problem with gay teachers teaching gay rights. Just as I would a straight teacher teaching heterosexual rights in 5th hour math class.

Whether he believes these or not, or whether they're moral or not, or whether they're right or not... They're becoming the death knell for the republican party. They need to be proactive and purge those that want to control your private lives with government edict, or they'll fade off into oblivion and the "progressives" will force their ideals onto you and yours.

The problem is that what you want harms society. If the majority wants a traditional and morally sound society, they should have a traditional and moral society.

Can he not speak for himself? I think you are mistaken and delusional to what the majority wants. The majority of voters both democratic and republican do not want legal drugs for all. I also pretty sure the majority in Georgia is not pro choice and pro gay marriage.

Broun and Gingrey have giftwrapped a campaign of ads for Nunn. Between Broun's "Lies from the pit of hell" rant, and Gingrey's "wah wah wah I don't get paid enough" the dems will gain ground in GA.

I don't like any of the congressmen. Gingrey's only in it for the power and money, and I don't feel Broun will represent the state well. I haven't made up my mind yet. Perdue is appealing, but unknown. I don't feel Handle has a chance.

Perdue wins the primary, or the republicans lose the seat. that's my take on it.

You're falling into this "majority rules" crap that the left uses constantly. The majority is often wrong, history shows this.

None of the people we're talking about want "legal drugs for all" nor gay marriage, or more abortion.

However, Michelle Nunn wants gay marriage and more abortion. If the wrong candidate makes it out of the ® primary, then she has a a greater chance of winning.
