Boortz acted like Woodall was running yesterday on his show, perhaps Neal got ahead of himself. Regardless, he basically endorsed Woodall yesterday. He told his listening audience to vote for Woodall, that he worked with him on the Fairtax, that he was incredibly bright, and he would be a great advocate for the Fairtax.

I’ll be curious to hear if Boortz tells the audience to vote for him again today.

Depends on whether it helps or hurt Boortz’s book sales.

two questions:
has this guy ever held a private sector job?
does he even live in the state much less the district?

Looks like we now have the out-of-touch, inside-the-beltway candidate (Woodall) vs the rest-of-america, grassroots candidate (Cox).

Wonderful, more of the “my boss held the seat so now I’m running for it even though I don’t live in the District” stuff. Super.

Following his Woodall endorsement, Boortz urged legislators to repeal the health care bill and replace it with the FairTax because the FairTax will promote the development of innovative medical therapies and will immediately lower premiums.

You know there are people who actually believe the stuff that comes out of his mouth? Just amazing.

No joke, I saw the FairTax rescue a 4 year old from a burning building the other day. It was amazing.

“FairTax: Better than Jack Bauer!”

I sometimes wonder how much real life is already like the movie Idiocracy.

Wait a minute, nothing is better than Jack Bauer…except maybe Chuck Norris.

if they let jack do everything the way he wanted the show would only have to be 12

Obama is stronger than the Fair Tax. Faster too. He could bend the Fair Tax in half so that it FairTaxes itself!

The FairTax killed 50 men

So THAT was why he was so nice to my daughter and I when we stopped in last week during the Tea Party protests… I thought he was a little too friendly…

Rob is actually a very smart guy and incredibly nice.

@Bill – thats just the way he is, I doubt he was having to fake anything because he was getting in the race

this race is getting interesting

Bill Greene March 24, 2010 at 2:36 pm

Just kidding, Seth. He was just doing his job, and doing it well. :)

I don’t know this guy—never met him and likely never will- but congressional staffers working in D.C. for a home state member of congress shouldn’t catch the carpetbagger treatment. They are focusing full-time on our state’s interests and issues and a congressional office is like an embassy on some limited level. I have been a Georgian my whole life and with congressional staff reciprocity I voted in Georgia every year since 1982.

John Stone congressional bid in GA-12 didn’t fully make this transition because he became a Virginian; I don’t think people fully appreciated his wealth of knowledge about east Georgia he received while working for Rep. Norwood. Bill Greene, I heard you speak during that campaign and you could move the crowd.
