Congressmen Broun has been staunchly defending liberty for the seven years he’s been in Congress. “While Congressman Broun's primary opponents try to position themselves as outsiders in the Georgia Senate race, Paul Broun is the real deal,” said RLC Chairman Matt Nye. “Broun hasn’t let Congress change him, but rather, he has helped change Congress.”

...

“Representative Broun has never voted to raise taxes, nor has he ever voted for a bailout or ‘stimulus’ package,” Nye said. “He authored the strongest Balanced Budget Amendment, and he became the lead sponsor of Audit the Fed after Ron Paul's retirement from Congress. Broun also favors a consumption based tax which would eliminate the IRS.”

Congressman Paul Broun is a veteran, having served in the US Navy as a medical officer. He makes his home in Athens, Georgia with his wife Niki. He has two grown daughters, a son and two grandchildren.

I wonder if Huckabee, Gingrich or Santorum will endorse Broun in a runoff because of abortion or to co-opt the grassroots.

This is sad because I really like Derrick Grayson, but RLC made the right choice. Grayson needed to start with a lower office. Many of us told him that up front.

Grayson's ego is too large for that. Just like Gary Johnson and the US Senate.

It's better to be an elected State House member than a failed US Senate candidate. JMHO.

ETA - not disagreeing with you, just providing additional layers to my original assertion.

Yep. I talked to him on FB about it. He basically said only Senators make a difference.

If he's that dense then he doesn't deserve to become a U.S. Senator. The problem for Grayson is that he lives in a very liberal area of metro Atlanta. He should have moved into Broun's district he wanted to become a Congressman.
