The Editor's Desk: A tale of two political ads
Athens Banner-Herald ^ | Jim Thompson

Posted on 04/06/2014 6:38:33 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

Late last month, a SurveyUSA poll for an Atlanta television station put establishment Republican congressman Jack Kingston in front of fringe tea-party favorite Republican congressman Paul Broun by eight percentage points in the race for Georgia’s open U.S. Senate seat.

On Friday, though, Kingston stood to lose that ground, as both he and Broun released campaign commercials featuring fake telephone calls.

Maybe I'm dumb tonight, and I'm far away and unfamiliar with the two candidates, but the writing of the piece, and the two ads with two phony phone calls, and the two phony politicians, it's confusing.

I just don't understand a word of it. But maybe that's me.

Establishment Jack Kingston says Obama(and liberals) hate him.

The other ad suggests Pelosi(and liberals) like Jack Kingston.

I hope you weren’t including Paul Broun when you say “two phony politicians”. Broun is a true conservative and I have made some modest contributions to his campaign. See this link”

Perdue and Kingston are the GOPe favored candidates in the Republican Senatorial primary. Perdue has put over a million dollars of his own money into his campaign in the hopes of buying a win. We don’t want to replace one (at least semi) RINO (Saxby) with yet another.
