This has to be one of the most irritating political commercials (video)

that plays over and over on all television stations in Georgia. Neither of the candidates are worth a damn!

Would you take a phone call from President Obama? GOP Rep. Jack Kingston says no and definitely not if it’s about toning down his opposition to the Affordable Care Act.

In a new campaign ad in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race, the 11-term congressman apparently hired an impersonator who sounds like Obama to give him a fake phone call.

“Kingston, this is the president. You’ve got to back off Obamacare,” the fake Obama says as images of the president on the telephone flash on the screen. “Kingston, let me be clear: I do not want you in the Senate. Call me back, Kingston, please.”

Kingston, one of seven candidates vying for the GOP Senate nomination, appears in the ad to say he would “never answer” a call to stop opposing Obama’s health care law.

GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss is retiring and the Georgia Senate seat is one Democrats view as a possible pickup.

Polls show a tight race among the Republicans. Businessman David Perdue leads Kingston, Reps. Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey and former Georgia secretary of State Karen Handel for the GOP nomination.

the man can't really take a bad picture! Usually, the opponent uses bad angles, awkward faces, etc.

Meanwhile, Kingston drives around in his gas guzzling wood paneled station wagon talking about how cheap ass he is.
