Well it seems that question that has been asked by me and Tony or Tony Original has now come to haunt Whitehead. It seems a point of clarification is truly in order. Now we see a man who has made illegal immigration his key issue has now made a far fetched claim without proof. It appears that someone running to represent the 10th district is basing his info on a Michelle Malkin misreading of a Columbus Dispatch story. So there is a misquoting of a misquoting. Does the 10th want someone to base their top issue on hearsay and laziness to not back up the claim? If the 10th wants someone like that to represent them, I’d be happy to move back into the district.

Always have been, always will be.

There ain’t a dime’s worth of difference between Whitehead and lowlife Klan trash.

These liberals want to knit-pick every word and go back and forth to obscure the issues——ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE REGISTERING TO VOTE. That is why Jim voted against it in the Georgia Senate and will vote against it in DC. There is evidence of this across the country, and groups like La Raza have been doing it for years. If you think otherwise you are just ignoring the facts.

Jason Winders even admitted that two terrorists registered to vote in Ohio. But did he spend his column talking about the issue? Of course not. He spent his time knit-picking what may have been said.

The truth is liberals like Jason Winder and Cynthia Tucker want open borders, and that is why they duck the issue. In 2001, Cynthia Tucker wrote in a column that Mexico, Canada, and the US should all unite and come together. It is obvious she wants to sell out this country, and is happy with open borders. Jim, thankfully, will take a stand against this nonsense in Washington.
So, spend all the time you want what was said and wasn’t said. Some of us have better things to do…. like saving our country.

Kepper returns. I seem to recall you also saying there was proof. Weren’t you called out on this as well? I believe you offered a link in response that did not offer proof.

So I guess Keppers you have explicitly condoned lying by an elected official in order to stir up the masses and get elected. You condone playing on the fears of terrorism and the bitterness of illegal immigration in order to lie about a claim? Spending time on what was and was not said…hmmm. Wow. How many leaders in government have been attacked on what was said? Clinton was impeached for what was said or not said. What is said or not said makes a man a liar or an honest and ethical person. It’s people like Keppers who give us a corrupt government in DC. If we cannot trust what this man says on his main issue, how can we trust him on anything else? If he is not credible on the halmark of his campaign, how can anything else he says be worthwhile? While you make this trivial, it is what he says that makes Whitehead who he is. If he cannot even be credible how can this man get anything done in DC?

Keppers has summed up what character of man he supports. Thank you for calling honestly, ethics, and credibility nitpicky. I think between your comments and Whitehead’s we see what kind of person he and his supporters are. They will say and do anything to get him elected.

First of all, the link that I referred to in the past was what was referred to on Jim Whitehead’s website (eg. the Columbus dispatch article.) Until Winder’s article, that was the first time I had seen any retraction regarding the Dispatch article; however, it does not take away from the fact that illegal aliens register to vote, and that is flat wrong. Now, I happen to know that a lot of times, so-called members of the press often take words from interviews out of context to fit their own opinion. From my research on this subject, I believe this is what happened to Jim. Being that this is a liberal “rag” it doesn’t surprise me that the press from the “left” (eg. AJC) form any opinion they deem likely to support their cause, in this case, electing a Democrat in the Georgia 10th.

In regards to the type of candidate I support: if lying candidates are the only ones I support, then you can be assured that I will help put Hillary in office as President. Be that as it may, I will be voting Republican, because I believe in conservative values and ideas that will protect this country for my childen’s sake. Those same ideas happen to be the basis of the Republican platforms.

There’s one thing that really bothers me about your “profile” of me. Quoting you, Craig:
You condone playing on the fears of terrorism and the bitterness of illegal immigration in order to lie about a claim? Where were you on 9/11/2001? Does it not scare you how easy it was for 18 terrorists (that we know of) to get into this country, integrate with our public, learn how to fly jet aircraft, board those aircraft with boxcutters, and fly those aircraft into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. That’s not playing on fears; that’s just cold, hard facts, and I don’t want to see it happen again.

Jim Whitehead is the only candidate who seems to understand that very problem and wants to solve it. Play with the words any way you want, but the message is the same. We have to protect ourselves from hostile foreign influences.

On another note, I really doubt that you know what you are talking about with regards to Jim Whitehead, or you wouldn’t be making asinine statements like you did above. He is an honest, God-fearing Christian man, and if this is the worst you can drag out about him, then I can live with that. He has my vote.

Sorry Keppers. You can blame the AJC all you want. It was Whitehead’s OWN response that nailed him on lying. HE wrote the response to Cynthia Tucker. HE posted that same response on his website. So blame some vast leftwing conspiracy for Whitehead’s own words. Why don’t you and Whitehead take responsibility for making a claim that was not accurate. Why not take responsibility for lying about something? Why not take responsibility for falsely accusing other groups of doing something such as register terrorists to vote?

You can deny all you want but it was not something a reporter took out of context. Whitehead made a claim, backed it up with NO proof, and even mocked Cynthia Tucker for not having the decency to check when he himself did not.

Do not deflect this issue with something of actual substance. There are issues with immigration. But do we need someone who has to lie about it to get something done? Do we need someone who boldly makes false claims without doing research on the subject? Frankly there are kids in elementary schools who can make claims without bothering to do research to back it up. I mean I would hope that a man who is currently in the state government who wants to move to the Federal level bothers to research his top issues of concern. I’d hope that Whitehead even reads up and studies something before going out and making claims like he did. How foolish is it to accuse Cynthia Tucker of a standard he himself cannot even abide by?

I know enough about the man solely on this issue alone. A man with character does not find the need to either lie or not bother to research what he claims. If he’s Christian, THAT is between he and God. But he’s proven his earthly worth by lying about people and appealing to hatred and distrust to get votes. This is lower than Hillary Clinton is capable of. The 10th deserves better than someone who lies and plays on fear and deception to win. And there is a phrase we tell kids to do in school all the time that applies to Whitehead. Please do your homework and study up before coming in the next day to take the test.

It really amazes me how you folks from the left care more about one little foul-up and skate around the issue rather than get to the core truth, which is illegal aliens are being registered to vote. Google it! Whitehead did not lie. He’s is/was chairman of the Homeland Security Commission in Ga. He is privvy to information that allows him to form his opinions. While he can’t cite every possible source given to him(for security reasons), he can give general information for supporting his argument based on what he does know. I personally think he made a bad choice in quoting the Columbus Dispatch article. He probably wanted a path for the public to get non-confidental information that was easy to point to and figured that would be satisfactory. I don’t know. Do you really think he would blatantly lie about something like that and provide a path for his detractors to digg up the lies and use them against him? IT WAS A FOUL-UP and quotes taken out of context. Blame that on his handlers. If you know anything about politics and campaigns, then you know how this got fouled. If I had to guess, I would say that you, Craig, and Tony are one in the same and it wouldn’t surprise me if you weren’t part of the Marlowe campaign (or even from the B. Green or P. Broun camp). It’s a desparate attempt to slow Jim’s progress in the campaign. Take your best shot boys. Your sniffing in the wrong toilet.

Actually Kepper I am on the Right. So again, quality skills coming from you in assumptions. I hope you’re Whitehead’s campaign manager. You’re amazing like Whitehead in making baseless claims without knowing the facts. You say he did not lie. He claimed liberal groups were registering Al Qaeda terrorists. Where is the proof Keppers? How can you say that is not a lie?

You make Whitehead’s case even worse. He was head of some homeland security commission and makes false statements like this? How irresponsible. The man comes out with his background and makes such a foolish statement. How can someone with as much ‘background’ as Whitehead make such a statement?

Now you want to blame his handlers? You mean you have a candidate who writes a letter to the editor to the AJC attacking Cynthia Tucker and misquotes something without bothering to check the facts? This is even worse Keppers. Instead of staking his reputation on his own words and checking what he is saying, you blame his handlers? You mean his incompetent staff let him write a letter without checking facts and sent it to the AJC? You mean all of those chances to check the facts and BOTH he and his handlers ‘slipped up’? I have worked on campaigns and I have met candidates who do lot let items get out to the mailbox without making sure nothing stupid or incompetent made it there.

I’m not on anyone’s campaign. As a matter of fact the only tie I have to the district is that I used to live there and have many family and friends there. They are all in tune to this discussion and have read the response. They now see a man who boasts being privy to select info but somehow incorrectly cites a newspaper (actually a conservative pundit’s interpretation of that article) for his cause. Keppers keep arguing. You’ve dug a deeper hole and shined a light on this incompetence here. And it’s the right toilet. It’s the one full of crap the 10th will take time to flush.
