This is an embarrassment for our District.

Just like someone else we called out, politics as usual, you begin attacking my credibility…

I took a few minutes this morning to research your questions. Turns out if you google Christina Jeffrey pages and pages come up about her. Let’s try this one from the very first page “Trial by firestorm” by Tracy Lee Simmons and published in the National Review http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n9_v47/ai_16920435/ It really is a fantastic article but I will summarize. Jeffrey was fired from her post because of an evaluation she gave of a holocaust curriculum. Her statements were taken out of context and heralded as Anti-Semitic. She was later cleared by the Anti-Defamation League.

How many times has she run for public office? That is also discovered via the inter web. 1st time was in 1998 in the 6th district of Georgia. She came in 2nd in a field of 6. She lost to Johnny Isakson the millionaire who was also backed financially through both parties. I am sure you remember the second time. It was a couple of years ago against Derham Cole. Derham has the same name as the last representative of that same seat but he did not run as an incumbent. Also it was questionable if he was even registered to vote. She lost by 104 votes. Are you aware that there is a strong desire today to elect people who have never held public office? Your trump card, and by the way, it is Inglis’ as well, is that Jeffrey has run before and lost. Well that has kept her out of public office ans people seem to like that. People on here seem to like that about Jim even though he has held office. According to his own Bio on his campaign page he was School Board official. Where? Why did he quit? How good are the schools where he served? He also says on his site that “As an information technology and business consultant, Jim has broad knowledge of private sector business as well as government – and the politics involved in each!” How? Does he receive Government contracts? How much taxpayer money does he get. Did he do a good job?

By the way I don’t question your motives, libertarian candidates never win and for another reason – You, like Inglis are looking to run against a candidate who has very little understanding of the Constitution or public policy issues. This is not to say he isn’t a good man, but he isn’t what people are looking for now. That is probably why he is having so much trouble raising money.

You are fascinated with Dr. Jeffrey and suspicious of her motives, but we know much about her and very little about Mr. Lee. Just Google her and you will get a dozen or so pages of information. And about Lee? Not even one.

I don’t suspect your motives at all. Libertarian candidates never get elected no matter who they meet in the primaries.

I can answer most of your questions via the internet. I’ve noticed that Gary Coats doesn’t seem to be to good at fact checking. For instance Jeffrey Sewell is not a paid consultant. But let me give this a try.

In my own words Newt Gingrich fired Christina Jeffrey because he is a wimp who would not stick up for anyone even if it was his own wife lying in a hospital. Christina was asked to review curriculum and when the context of it was leaked she was branded as anti-Semite. She was later cleared by Abraham Foxman of the Anti defamation league and she received an apology from Newt Gingrich.

But you don’t have to take my word for it, you can look it up on the internet yourself. My suggestion would be the National Review article by Tracy Lee Simmons
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n9_v47/ai_16920435/

or you can search Wikipedia,

That is Rick if your question was a serious one.

Also I have noticed that here at the Jim Lee Fan Club that many of you insist that he is not a career politician. Obviously. He is a business man. Good for him. I get that he wants to be a representative but with what creditably? An endorsement from Bob Inglis? That in itself is pretty scary. Look he sounds like a really nice guy. And on the issues he sounds a lot like Christina who as far as I know also considers herself a Tea Party Republican. I would just rather elect the one who is going to know what they are doing once they get there. Her years as a teacher of the Constitution, her extensive knowledge of the workings of the U.S. government, and her service on many government commissions, make her qualified to serve and represent us.
