Title: Senate-GA: David Perdue
Post by: cGirl on March 28, 2014, 10:34:19 AM
https://perduesenate.com/issues/more.html

Former CEO of Dollar General, led a huge turnaround. Has years of successful business experience. Is not afraid to call out his incumbent Republican opponents on their records of failure.

Strongly conservative on the issues, and looks like a candidate who can appeal to the base and the independents.

If Perdue is the nominee, I think the Nunn campaign is DOA.

What do you think?

He supports Dodd-Frank.  He says health-care needs to be handled at the federal level.  He supports the internet sales tax.  He supports common core.

Swing and miss, LiberalGirl.

Sarah Palin showed to campaign for Handel in GA. Perdue has been clearly identified as a RINO. With so many on the race he may move along, but Palin's support will carry some weight in GA.  :popcorn: :popcorn:

I actually am inclined to agree with Perdue's comment about a college degree making one a more serious candidate. I agree with Michael Savage - there is an extent to which education matters - makes a difference.

Wrong.  Education has nothing to do with a college degree.

This is encouraging to me as I have been concerned that the GOP primary could be a killer for retaining the Chambliss seat in our column. It seems the GOP primary has not been as divisive as it possibly could have been. Also, it is clear Obamacare is an albatross around Michelle Nunn's neck. She obviously wants no part of it, but is reluctant to be openly critical of it.

I think Perdue is the better candidate. I was actually supporting Dr. Broun in the primary but it seems like the insiders pushed him out of the race. Perdue isn't as conservative as I'd like, but he's certainly better than Jack Kingston, one of the most liberal members of the House GOP Caucus.

He has proven he'll vote conservative.  He's not the most conservative in the world, but stuff like omnibus, Ryan-Murray, and others, he's proven to hold tough.  Again, he's still in RINO status, but nothing close to Perdue. 

Being a businessman doesn't make you a better candidate.

I don't think Nunn will win. She's good for the libs as she provides a minor distraction for us, but make no mistake she has no shot at winning. Undecideds break heavily Republican especially in Georgia.

Taxed, this is not about the senate race, but the governor's race. What gives with this poll? I realized Deal has some warts, but I thought beating a Carter was a no brainer in GA.

I'm not worried about it.  Carter is looking like a fool trying to smear Deal.  Carter isn't even from Georgia.  He's from Chicago.  He can't even formulate a complete sentence.

Thanks. I believe this is telling in all these races this year. Here in NC the MSM is trying to play Hagan as a front runner. I think the dems are desperate and they are enrolling the MSM to discourage the TEA and GOP turnout. I think this is something we should all be alert to and report.

Yeah, the more that comes out about the faux scandal, it exonerates Deal even more and show he was doing the right things, and Carter is trying to assemble a witch hunt.

Yeah, Perdue was able to hang Kingston as pro-amnesty.  He linked him up with the COC, who backed Kingston.

I hope so. It is no surprise immigration is a big deal. Hopefully, amnesty can be hung around Nunn's neck.

This is good news from GA. After a long runoff race it appears the GOP is united. Also, it shows we of TEA mindset are also winning. Note below an excerpt from the article:

"All that establishment angst over Perdue's candidacy? Gone, said GOP chair John Padgett, who called the former Fortune 500 executive a "rock-solid conservative with a stellar record in business" who can defeat Democrat Michelle Nunn."

The establishment now has gotten behind the conservative.

Ha, I wouldn't call Perdue a conservative.  In fact, he'll be right up there with McConnell, etc.  He's a real mess.

This is very encouraging to me. It means the Perdue campaign is going to label Michelle Nunn for what she id - a pure lib. As anticipated her campaign will call a foul, but it is only what dems do. Good for Perdue. The GOP needs to ho;d onto this seat.

I understand Perdue has a slight lead in the polls. Once the GOP can concentrate on her positions, or lack thereof, I would think the margin for Perdue will spread.

Good news from GA. Perdue has a nice lead over Michelle Nunn. I think desperation has set in as she is going to campaign with Michelle Obama in GA. That is a sign of desperation. This was a race I was somewhat concerned about due to the name recognition of Nunn.
