Adding to his tea party credentials, Greg Brannon on Thursday received an endorsement from Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who called him a “solid conservative.”
"I think this will be a primary in which ... conservative credentials will be on the line," Lee told the News & Observer in an interview, “and a primary in which there will be a heavy emphasis on Obamacare and Mr. Brannon’s background, his familiarity with Obamacare and why it’s hurting people, will be a real asset to him.
"I think his credentials as a constitutional conservative focused on conservative reform will set him apart," he added.
Lee’s support is a boost for Brannon’s campaign and adds to endorsements from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and FreedomWorks, a national tea party organization. Brannon touted the endorsement, saying he was the first candidate in the nation backed by Lee and Paul.
“I'm eager to join him in the effort to repeal Obamacare, advance a conservative reform agenda, and restore constitutionally limited government to the U.S. Senate,” Brannon said of the Lee endorsement.
The first-time candidate and Cary obstetrician is appealing to hard-core conservatives, appearing on Glenn Beck’s radio program and talking about his desire to eliminate major federal agencies. He believes the federal government has two legitimate roles: protecting free trade and providing national defense.
The endorsement comes a day ahead of Brannon’s trip to Washington for the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). He is holding a fundraising reception nearby at McCormick & Schmick’s. The top ticket for a couple is $500 and an individual price is $165, according to an invite. Paul and Matt Kibbe, the FreedomWorks leader, are expected to attend his event.

The jury found him “solely responsible” while his partner (being sued on the same charge) remained unscathed. Curious.

just saying ....
I’m not part of the “Rovian Brigade”. Say what you want, but in this day and age of technology, anything in your past that could be detrimental to a political campaign will come to light. Now, go ahead and mock: “Yea, yea, yea ... blah, blah, blah .....”. That attitude and people like you who refuse to believe that any candidate they like could, possibly, be a dumb a**, is why we got Claire McCaskill and Barack Obama for 6 and 4 more years respectively. Thanks Servant of the Cross. (You’ve really got an attitude for a follower of Christ. You’re not a good testimony. And, btw, you might want to brush up on your spelling. “Yea” is a sports cheer. “Yeah” is an affirmation.) Just sayin’
BTW, Servant of the Cross, since you sent your reply to me to everyone, I’ll send them my reply to you:

this article came to me from a credible conservative journalist.

Yeah, and that lawsuit popped up just as Brannon tied or exceeded Tillis against Hagan, just as Matt Bevin’s TARP signature popped up just as he tied McConnell against Grimes. Brannon’s partner was left unscathed on the same charge. Even curiouser. Brannon’s appealing the jury verdict.
Lee isn’t fooled by the establishment dirt-digging, manipulations, and shenanigans.
Let me comment on your Post #25:
Overly emotional: Bull crap. You began this conversation because you were “offended” and angry at me for telling the truth. (Anger is an emotion.)
Post GOPe talking points: That’s a lie. I’ve been a Ronald Reagan-style Conservative since 1976.
Resorts to Personal Attack: Puleeeze! Who started this thing; accusing me of be a Rovian sympathizer, etc. Huh; who started the personal attacks?
Iseektobeaservantofthecrossbutfaildaily: No shit! I’ve said for years that church people are some of the meanest people you’ll ever find. You prove my point.
Good to see Sen Lee backing conservative candidates, against the GOPe.
What we ALSO need is for national TEA and Conservative groups to get behind these candidates with radio/TV ads. The RINO’s have huge war chests (ala McCornyn, Midge, etc) that can afford to saturate the airwaves.
Oh my! I am sorely tempted to reply to this but the little voice in my “church people” head says “No”. Therefore, you have the last word.
Governor Pat McCrory who is a good guy is being accused of corruption regarding connections with regard to Duke Energy.
Kay Hagan is a liar. Tillis paid his staffers very well under some suspicious circumstance.
Tillis and Hagan will both fix Obamacare and fix immigration. In fact Hagan should run ads against Tillis saying he is identical.
