Kingston to run for House Republican Conference Chair
Posted by Chris Farris under General Election , Republican PartyAccording to the AP blogger and Georgia Congressman Jack Kingston. is going to run for HRC chair.
I think Kingston has the right idea on how to tap the alternate media, and I agree with what he said yesterday that the GOP will need alternate sources to get their message out when we no longer control the gavel.
However, I worry that Kingston’s past performance in voting with his fellow appropriators and against the Flake amendments might send the wrong message to the base: “we haven’t learned our lesson”.
I’ll support Jack’s run, but only if he acknowledges the role run-away earmarking played in our defeat Tuesday.
