Boob of the Week

This week’s award goes to Austin Scott, currently running against Jim Marshall.

Now Scott is a candidate I would otherwise like, but he made such an idiotic statement about why he was running for congress instead of for Governor, I couldn’t let it pass.

In the words of Jim Galloway, Scott claims “his family can survive the next gov, whether R or D, but can’t survive 2 more years of Jim Marshall.”

“My family can survive whatever governor is elected to lead Georgia, whether Republican or Democrat, but I’m not sure my family or yours can survive another two years with the way things are in Washington. In the end it was a decision between proving a point and making a difference. I chose to make a difference.”

Yeah because a family will be able to survive if their rep is .23% of congress and also likely in the minority party rather than the lone chief executive who decides what policies are implemented in the state of Georgia.

And let me touch on another subject related to this. We’re in a supposedly anti-incumbent mood when at least 75% of congress will get reelected and it is highly unlikely one branch will have a change in leadership. Yeah. Really anti-incumbent that’s for sure.
