GOP 10th Congressional District Debate to Be Held July 22
The Republican candidates for the 10th Congressional District seat will participate in a July 22 debate at the Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) studios.

Paul Broun backed out becuase he did not want to answer questions about his professional history. I'm not sure what he's hiding, but the more he tries to avoid answering questions the guiltier he looks. 5 minutes on the internet and you need a spreadsheet to list all the things he's done that are unethical, inconsiderate, and down-right mean all the while claiming that he's God's Warrior fighting against the evil liberals and big government. Although, he's also fighting against other republicans. It seems that even members of Paul's party are just too liberal for him (they're labeled as RINO's, or Republicans in name only). Senators Chambliss and Issakson have verbally reprimanded him for some of his behaviors (check out his attempt to remove funding for section 5 of the Voting Rights Act). This guy is everything that's wrong with politics. And I'm tired of people associating me with people like Paul Broun just because I'm a Christian Conservative from the South. I also want to shrink the size and scope of the federal government, reduce federal spending, protect the 2nd amendment, but I think that this can be accomplished with a little more class.
