I already didn’t like him when he was elected, he irked me more by basically being known as the idiot with weird quips from Louisiana.. but him voting to restore Net Neutrality made me so pissed it was the first time I’ve ever emailed a politician to complain.

Am I alone in this hate?

Not enough for him to lose to JBE if he runs for Governor.

He will have my vote.

Just get JBE the frick out of there.

Good for him.

Net Neutrality is a mainstream position and polls very favorably with the american populace and a majority of millennials.

It's the future.

You can thank Colonel attention whore for stalling Fleming momentum by helping to split the strong conservative vote.

If Maness had dropped out when he knew there was zero chance, Fleming may have had a real shot.

I think he is a smart enough guy.

I just don’t like the schtick. Plays into the old Louisiana folksy character a bit too much.

ETA: That, and he’s podnuhs with Vitter. And I can’t stand that adulterous turd for one second!

Sad thing is, the dude is probably one of the smartest people in the state.

I can think of few things more nauseating than his 'aw shucks!' bumpkin schtick.

Kennedy fricking sucks. Both Louisiana senators leave a lot to be desired.

Sorry to be your echo.

He and Vitter are Rhodes Scholar buds. Brilliant yet flawed (each in their own way) individuals.

Educated at Cambridge ( I believe). The awes shucks facade is a defense mechanism that works. Dude is plenty sharp.

And he is a centrist Rep that really does not bother me. He needs to back our president, and if he does, he needs to stick around.

Everyone get a load of this clown saying silly shite like this while jobs are leaving this state in droves, oil and gas is refusing to start new projects here, we're being taxed out of the arse with nothing to show for it and more white trash and ghetto hoodrats are being put on the dole than ever before and the medicaid expansion is going to blow the budget up very soon.

And he's ok with all of that just because Vitter wanted some strange.

I’m scratching my head what you’d be pissed about unless you owned an isp. What’d the letter say?

I have it on good authority that John Kennedy dedicated a sizable amount of resources from his 2016 senate campaign in the same cycle to making sure Scott Angelle lost his house race regardless of who the opponent was, even if it was Clay Higgins.

Angelle with JIndal's backing fricked over a lot of people and then was arrogant enough to expect acadiana to forgive and forget a year later after he let the tax and spend liberal become Governor just because he had a nasty fight with Vitter.

The victory party at Kennedy HQ got a nice side course of an Angelle loss before Kennedy took the stage to celebrate.

Sentrius loves him some establishment faux conservative GOP representatives when they go head to head with Dems.

Not even realizing his vote is going towards part of the biggest problem Louisiana has. An electorate consistently voting in individuals that do absolutely nothing when they get to DC or retain a position in La.
You wonder why La as a whole is ranked dead last in every statistical category? Look no further than the dumb arse electorate that keep voting these idiots in.

Gotcha! (I was hoping I triggered someone with that Vitter jab.)

And yes. That’s how I voted. And I’d do it a thousand times again! Can’t stop me!

But believe me son, it’s the oil prices that is dragging down our state. Open your eyes to the fact elected politicians have only marginal effect on our economy & jobs. But $40 barrel oil has a HUGE impact. Dummy.

So am I to assume you voted for Governor Honor Code over the adulterous turd?

Then you have no business calling yourself a conservative.

And yet while that's happening, JBE is kicking the people of this state down even more by attacking oil and gas with lawsuits, taxes and red tape out the arse by his cabinet.

Jindal did no such thing as Governor and VItter would not have done either as they got out the way of the largest provider of private employment in this state and yet you still voted for the fraud who is doing the opposite of that.

Is there such a thing as a good senator? Seems the only one we can trust in Washington is Our President!
