Subscribe to RSSRep. Paul Broun (R-GA), one of the most conservative members in the House of Representatives, appears ready to announce his bid for the U.S. Senate from Georgia on Wednesday.
Broun will make a statement at an Atlanta hotel tomorrow at 4:00 pm ET to announce his plans, according to a press release.
Broun's wife recently told conservative activists that her husband will run, and GOP aides expect Wednesday to be the official announcement.
Broun, who got a 96% rating from the conservative group Heritage Action, has often bucked the House GOP leadership. He voted against John Boehner for Speaker, supporting Tea Party favorite former Rep. Allen West (R-FL) instead.
If nominated, Broun would be the candidate that would give the GOP establishment the most unease.
Broun is so conservative that in 2010, he was one of three members of Congress to vote against the ban of selling animal crush pornography videos. Broun claimed that the government had no right to interfere.
A doctor, Broun has offered multiple bills to try and take down the president's health-care law, and has voted against every single fiscal compromise that the GOP leadership and the president have agreed upon.
Broun is also the only known member of Congress to incorporate "The Jersey Shore" reality show into a press release, calling Snooki more substantive than President Obama.
"I don't know if we should be insulted or humored at the president's feeble attempts to incorporate Republican ideas into his latest health-care proposal," Brown said in March 2010. "Snooki, from the Jersey Shore, has more substance than President Obama's offer."
There are several other Republicans considering a primary bid to replace Saxby Chambliss.
For Democrats, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed declined a bid yesterday. Conservative Democratic Rep. John Barrow is another name others are pointing to as a possibility.

YEEHAW!
Finally, the clowns are starting to exit the car!
Let the circus begin! lol
Karl Rove has to be pulling the two hairs he has left out!
Seriously?
He didn't want his; Buy 12 get one FREE card to expire! lol
Broun doesn't like health care coverage because it interferes with his profit base. To Broun, Snooki is a cash cow when it comes to STD treatments for her and her minions.
animal crush ??? ... the moron approved ???

My children have every right to ask me if they have a choice to eat what has been prepared for them...and I take that moment to clarify that they do not.
In the same way, anyone eligible to run for office has a right to throw their hat in the ring. I can only hope the good citizens of Georgia send a clear message.
So in the end, who is to blame the weirdos who decide to run or the weirdos who vote them in? It's all about the latter to me.
Okay, I had to google "animal crush pornography" (yes, human resources department, I had to.)
This is what Broun thinks the government has no right to interfere with:
Just another "conservative" who works part-time for full-time pay on the taxpayer's dime.
Sickening.
The pictures alone caused me to lose my breakfast!
That has to be the most sickening thing I have ever heard of!
What kind of sick bastard would defend that @!$%#?
Well, given the current nanny-state of our all-knowing, all-wise-on-all-things Federal Government, Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" would fall into this category and Tippi Hedren (sp??) would be prosecuted as a "Animal Crush Pornographer" or "trafficker." Moreover, John Belushi, since he "crushed" food with his mouth ("crushing" not limited to feet) in the "I'm a Zit" portion of the "food fight" scene in "Animal House," would be a "soft crush pornographer." (Not to mention all the other "crushed" food being tossed about.)
Hunting videos "crush" ducks when birdshot strikes them. (Remember, not limited to feet here.) Pies in the face, be it Soupy Sales, the Marx Brothers, or whomever else, are now fetish films.
Yep, we can trust the geniuses in government.
looks like karl going to need a lot more money to primary against the tea baggers.
ring ring, hello this David (Koch), David this is your old pal Karl. Hey I was wondering if you can spare another 5-6 million...........CLICK.
"A doctor, Broun"
======
Perhaps just me twisted mind I'm sure, but I find the projection of the extreme conservative credentials of Broun and the fact that he a Dr to be an interesting pair.
The actual practice of medicine and the practice of being a Dr represents the epitome of regulation. For a person so anti-government, or allegedly pro-freedom, being a Dr. seems like the last profession one would choose if freedom to do whatever is their pinnacle.
As is typical with right-wing extremists, another poster that can't tell the difference between a fetish and art. These are the same screwballs that try to convince us Michelangelo's "David" is pornography.

===============
One has to admit RedDevPS this fetish when stacked up against that lady statue with boobies and no arms...clearly the statue puts young boys over the top vs seeing some crush birds with their bare feet.
I've often wondered if it were possible for a "humanoid" to become so "conservative" that they no longer should be considered a member of that particular species... It seems I have have had the answer forced on me even though I was happier with the open question.
He should star in a hard crush video and finally do what he promises... Make the world a better place.
His video-vote was the second most shocking thing in the article. Right behind the mention that he had a wife.
"What kind of sick bastard would defend that @!$%#?"
Uh, Teddie Nugent?? The same kind of sick bastard that would defend 100-round drums for use at your local schoolhouse?? I don't know- give me a hint.
Speaking of Alan West. am I the only one that thinks he looks like the black Dilbert?
[One has to admit RedDevPS this fetish when stacked up against that lady statue with boobies and no arms...]
Or how John Ashcroft had the exposed breast of the statue of The Spirit of Justice, one of two that stand at the end of the Great Hall in the Justice Department, covered up.
Amy: I did not need to know what that is. The thought makes me sick. You post are great, but not that one.
Oh Chick Binder, that is a 'crush' fetish video I surely couldn't stomach. Let us pray that doesn't get leaked over the internet. Although the title could be fascinating - Braun meets Braunie - Challenge of the Quicker Squisher Picker Uppers.
Speaking of Brawny, will someone please pass me a couple! LMAO, Buzz!
ExitO,
Please don't click on BCWC link... I realize it is suppose to be informative but I'm still nauseated about what I saw!
Amy . . .
I'm glad you did and provided the info. I'm sure if I even attempted to my SA would be at my office door in a heartbeat! Defintely looks like its something I don't need to look at .... ever.
What a moron!
Feisty: Thank you VERY much.
Alert the media...Sasquatch is real and has been found in Georgia.
Sorry, "RedDev," I am very capable of distinguishing the difference. If you had NOT taken one sentence out of context, you (as any one with even a left-wing extremist "brain" could, if they were honest) would have known I was being satirical with the idiocy that is today's government.
As an aside, I bet YOU, and those so enlightened as YOU, find a crucifix submerged in urine "art." YOU and those so enlightened as YOU, have no problem subsidizing it with tax dollars.
Georgia's a red state, but Broun might just be able to lose a Senate seat there to a good, centrist Democratic candidate.
No wonder this guy is on his fourth wife....yikes
He supports Snooki and the Tea Party? Well that's more proof that the GOP is a party of days gone by...
Hope the good people of Georgia have the good sense that the people of Florida had in voting out Allen West, another hot-head, egotistical, pain....
"If nominated, Broun would be the candidate that would give the GOP establishment the most unease."
Makes sense. This creep is enough of a cretin to nauseate anyone.
More substantive? The word he was looking for is more 'substantial,' as in more fleshy, fatter.
And this nut is a doctor? He must have switched into politics because patients were afraid to let him treat them.
People of Georgia, take your meds!!!
Paging Karl Rove----aren't you going to stop the Tea Party from hijacking the GOP? Here's your first test case.
LOL, Steeler Fan. I'm picturing Rove in his anti-conservative cape, flying in to block the crazy.
Knowing Rove, he'll collect some money from the nut job's donors, while he's in town.
Karl Rove's SuperPac American Crosseyeds spent $300 million during the 2012 election cycle, and his ROI?
...1 percent...
He's lucky he didn't end up in a dumpster somewhere.
Karl won't be collecting anything substantial anytime soon, methinks.
Rover's days as a political guru are numbered.
I just wish I knew the number...
So he's the first to "incorporate" a Snooki reference into a press release. Big deal (if even true.) Most of the idiots there are probably FANS of the now-cancelled piece of TV idiocy.
Additionally, the Congressman's statement is accurate.
I think he'll go down in history as the most effective T-bagger ever for their #1 accomplishment... Bringing a Snookie reference into 'Merkin polly-ticks.
And the hits just keep on coming! Further proof you can't fix batshlt crazy! Calling Dr. Moe, Dr. Larry, Dr. Broun!
Better set up the big top, the GOP circus is coming back to town. C'mon Karl, grow a pair and put this TPer down.
Since the "series" has been cancelled, it's my understanding "Snooki" has a job on Pelosi's staff lined up. This is conditional, however, on her various forms of public assistance for her "child" (yes, it bred) being continued.
Go ahead, Georgia...elect Paul Broun...and then wonder why things can't get accomplished in Washington.
Paul Broun sounds like the very heart and soul of the Republican Party. That is, in supporting animal crush videos, he has neither a heart nor a soul. Just like Republicans think it's fine to have millions of kids with no health insurance, as long as "the free market" has full reign.
The republican party can't help but track hard right. They are on a collision course to oblivion. Good riddance.
I'm endlessly entertained by the way the failing republican party embraced the soggy tea-bag in a fit of racial indignation... They only wanted a taste... just a little something to help express what they were thinking but still allow them to claim innocence... They didn't mean to get hooked on the T-bag... Now they've all got tracks and are in the early stages of withdrawal. They don't think it shows, but we all know junkies when we see them... Every time they try to kick it they seem to get a new injection anyway. They are truly the least among us.
They did it to themselves simply because of what they are though... We owe them no treatments or free trips to rehab. They'll just fall back into their old ways after we help them get "pretend clean".
The monkey is securely on their backs and shrieking louder than ever as it empties their pockets and eats their lunch.
one day at a time, Republicans; trust Brother Karl not to let you go back the tea!
OMG chick grinder said Monkey!!!!!!!!!
can anyone imagine allen west as speaker???
Broun shirts and jack boots starting in Georgia. Hasn't the Republican party learned it's lesson? America doesn't want more tea people but, actually want very few if any.
obama supports animal crush..
hell back in kenya the sheep are scared to death of him....
...meanwhile in Texas, it seems that there is a rise in the number of Texans who can't seem to spell their own state correctly...
...back to you, Chuck...
In the early 80's I was transferred to Dallas, where I lived for several years. Texans are every bit as stupid and arrogant as they appear to be. Rick Perry is a good example. In any other state he would be considered mentally handicapped, in Texas he is the Governor.
Texas is a sh!t hole full o sh!t heels.
Even Kennedy, a Democrat that Obama and his fat ass wife are trying to emmulate, said that you don't raise taxes during a recession. Until we get this economy going again all the illeagal (not undocumented) immigrants granted amnesty and gay marriages are meaningless. This past election was about the economy and not special interests. The Obama voters @!$%#ed it up for al of us!
And speaking of dinosaurs....... gosh, why can't 160 million of us just be more like you??
"...Obama and his fat ass wife..."
C'mon, time to fess up, NoMore***.
You're really Paul Broun, aren't you?
Republican Paul Broun is totally detached from reality. You can have all the religious beliefs you want, evolution is a fact. Anyone who says the earth is 9000 years old is a moron or a liar and certainly doesn't belong in the Senate.
I would hazard a guess that sh!t for brains Broun believes that the earth is flat and that the Stork Theory of Human Reproduction should be taught in public schools.
The fact that Republicans allow this idiot on the Science Committee just shows how Extreme they have become.
LOL...WWWHHHHAAAAaaaaAAAAaaaaaaaaaaAAaaaaaa!!!
Between this guy and Joe Walsh, I wonder if the Republicans will ever be willing to face reality again. Fortunately, the number of people they represent is shrinking fast - not many of those dinosaurs left anymore.
Another blatant right wing racist that will continue to push the republican party off the cliff. Keep it up man, I am behind you 100%. You make taking this country back from you fascist war mongers a bit easier.
I guess we'll find out if the puppet master Rove still has any clout. The last thing the GOP needs is another kookaboo running off at the mouth and poisoning the waters for the future. If the GOP is to succeed in the future there needs to be a purge of the extremists. Conservative is a good thing stark raving nuts is not. Its the compromise between two opposing views that come up with reasonable solutions. Maybe the GOP needs to be crushed and reborn again with conservatives who posses reason and intellegance. I never thought I would agree with Rove but he's right about the need to clean house.
