Bill;

You went to Tech and took Calculus in High School? AP even?

I have to say, I don’t believe you.

Bill,

I’m unsure, but I believe it’s a Masters-specific reference – perhaps new slang from the 2007 tournament? Darn it, I knew I should’ve skipped out on Disney this April. Look at what I missed!

@abio4
My candidate (Jim Whitehead) made it through college just fine. He didn’t finish his last quarter, from what I understand, because he thought he would be playing in the NFL with the Chicago Bears. Other than that, he completed 95% of his college studies. I would love to compare the GPA’s of both candidates. I bet’s Jim’s grades would embarrass Broun’s. Since you are an apologist for “Dr.” Broun, why is it Paul Broun Jr. “really” has to make only house calls as a “doctor”. Don’t tell us that it’s because of the goodness of his heart. A man who has been married four times doesn’t go to med school to just make only house calls when all of that hospital and insurance money is out there.

Holly,

I’m not from the 10th CD, I am not a Broun clone, and I only took AP Calculus in high school (30 years ago).

Can you please tell me what a “caddy remark” is so I will understand what abio4 is yapping about?

It seems to me the Georgia Sport Shooting Association, the official state affiliate of the NRA, would want to clear this up also. Their by-laws in Article VI, Section 3a…The President…shall exercise…supervision over all it’s affairs. (GSSA.com)

If Broun hasn’t resigned as president of the GSSA, and following the GSSA by-laws, did he oversee his own endorsement and the questioning of opposing candidates?

PBJ… Like like it!

But it’s Dr. Broun to you.

PBJ – Sounds like a CONGRESSMAN to me!

PBJ – All the Way!
PBJ- All the Way!

Run Paul Run! You can win this thing!

bowersville, I tend to agree with your last para, mostly because PBJr brought it up himself in a pres release.

I have to agree with Creative Loafing, it has become insane that a candidate for the US House would make an issue as to who has the biggest arsenal or who owns the most guns, or whether mine is bigger than yours, or whether someone even has one.

Is this the type of person we want representing us in the 10th? What Congressman would call on the press to investigate something as petty as whether a candidate legally owns a gun or not? What type of Congressional investigations would be called for by such juvenile thinking? An investigation into who placed explosives in the world trade center?

If Paul Broun goes to Congress, the 10th will be a laughing stock.

Jeff, the most important part of the update is “if that’s true.” Broun needs to clear the air and address it directly as to whether he is the president of GSSA or not.

abi04 you are very rude and not very clever!!!!! alan didnt say nothin about his college days and it sounds like he runs a business. whats wrong with that???? people work hard around here and we cant all go to med school but that doesnt mean that we arent responsible because of it. and goin to med school obviously doesnt automatically mean youre smart nor does it give you instant credibility. that has to be earned in your professional conduct and there is nothin in whiteheads conduct that says to me that he is a loser for not finishing college. hes never been late on payments and never been divorced. hes been careful with his family and his business and paul broun hasnt so clearly whitehead is the better choice!!!!!!!!

Youch, sounds like I struck a nerve there. Did you flunk out too?

abi04 — spoken like someone who never ran a business, made a payroll, wrote a check each quarter and paid the vendor bills. Whether its tires or internet services like profg, there’s nothing to be ashamed of about being in business. Its damn hard.

Make the comparison if you want, but there’s only one candidate that needed a bankruptcy to get out from under.

Mr. Kepper, it was you sir who began this nonsense with your caddy remark about Paul Broun being at the bottom of his med school class. You really don’t want to compare your candidate who couldn’t even make it through college to an M.D. do you?

Well, sure, since you asked. . .

You’re alone on that.

Exposing the ridiculous by being ridiculous.

Broun’s campaign strategy?

Yes, I thought AP remedial English class was clever. Exposing the ridiculous by being ridiculous.
And thanks to Holly I now know what AP means. Whew! Wow, Holly can you share some more of your insightful wisdom with us all?

Forgive me for using an age old cliche. I didn’t know that using the terms in that context upsets some people (like AP) . Please, allow me to explain….. While I do talk to Jim Whitehead a lot, I got the information from his daughter…. who asked her dad about it… So, therefore, I received the information INDIRECTLY FROM Mr. Whitehead.
Now, can I get off the remedial list please?
