If It’s Reagan Principles You Want, Katherine Jenerette Is Your Gal
We have a three way Republican Primary in South Carolina’s First Congressional District. Henry Brown is an incumbent Congressman running for this fifth term. I really have no feelings toward Brown one way or the other. He isn’t one to show up in the media much. He received a rating of 96 from the American Conservative Union for 2007, not too shabby and he’s been involved in government for about 27 years, starting in the city council, moving up to state office and then Federal.
He has two challengers in the primary. The first, Paul Norris, is the President of Southeast Energy Partners. Naturally, he is big on the coming energy crisis that most Americans have not yet awaken to. I also like how he released his tax returns. He feels that if he is going to be handling others tax money, they have a right to see how he manages his own.
The one candidate that really stands out to me out of the three, however, is Katherine Jenerette. A history professor, mother of four, and a second lieutenant in the army reserves, I think Mrs. Jenerette is the total package that disgruntled conservatives and others disoriented with the Republican Party are looking for. Read and learn:
She said she decided to run for Congress partly out of frustration of how Republicans
squandered their congressional majorities.
“We had the playing field, and we fumbled,” she said. “We spent like drunken sailors. We left the party platform behind.”
Jenerette said she favors a federal hiring freeze and the Fair Tax, a plan to eliminate the income tax by significantly raising the sales tax. She said her service in the U.S. Army Reserve would make her an important voice on national security issues.
As for the Iraq war, she said, “We can sit here and be Monday morning quarterbacks. We’re there because of our national interests. We’re there because of oil. What angers me is how we’ve made it into a political football.” She said she supports U.S. Gen. David Petraeus in Iraq and would pounce on his critics.
Jenerette said education is a big issue with her, and she would push to abolish the federal No Child Left Behind Act. “It’s created a nightmare bureaucracy for our schools.”
Marvelous. She hit the fiscal issues, the education issues, and the military issues right on the button. Additionally, she points out how Congressional Republicans have lost their way and threw a platform for success overboard to satisfy their own greed. Ah, it brings tears to my eyes.
It’s very difficult to take down an incumbent, even more so in a primary, but hope springs eternal. I hope enough Republicans who are looking for a return to the Class of ‘94 ideals are paying attention in this race. They have a candidate.
I vote for Katherine. I like for I see, what she stands for and we need some young blood. Every American should stand their ground and vote everyone out of the Senate and Congress. We have let them run all over us, stole our Social Security funds THAT we the people paid into a retirement for US.
Katherine Jenerette is the best man for the job. She will steer the Republican party out of troubled waters and place us back on solid ground when it comes to fiscal responsibility and earmark reform. But she will also bring her National Security experience to the table serving in the Persian Gulf War Veteran. It’s time the Republicans stood up for conservative values and I believe Katherine will serve our district well and be a representative we will all be proud of.
I agree with the person that wrote this article. Katherine Jenerette is definitely a candidate that we should support with our votes. I met her a while back and was impressed with her knowledge, energy and passion for her country and state. She actually has feasible ideas, solutions to problems that have been ignored too long. Though not possible, Everyone in the 1st Congressional District should try to meet and speak with Katherine. She listens and you will walk away excited to give her your vote. I have found her honest, forthright, and humble. Check her website, http://www.jenerette.com.
Katherine Jenerette has got too many personal issues of her own. How can she talk about what is wrong with the US House when she does’t have her own house in order. Don’t be fooled by her charm she’s not what you think.
I dont believe Katherine has the experience to stand a chance with the wolves in Washington. If you really get to know what she stands for, trust me she is not qualified to run, much less represent district one. She has ran for a different office during every election. Why does Katherine Jenrette want to be a public figure? Does she have a personal agenda?
Katherine Jenerette has a heart to serve the people of the 1st Congressional District. That is her motivation in running for office. Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron struck out many times but were great ballplayers as history recorded. I would hate to think that Darrell would have had these greats sit the bench. It takes endurance and convictions to continue to speak up and raise awareness. That is an agenda I will vote for as will others. The fact that Katherine has run in the past has only made her a stronger candidate for Washington. The “wolves” have not stopped her momentum yet, nor will they. Washington will be a challenge to be sure, but I know that Katherine is strong enough to handle the “wolves” (interesting term Darrell) and welcomes the challenge. Katherine can and will hit the winning run!
Katherine is pro-life, a strict constitutional constructionist, wants small-small federal government, less taxes, pro-military – support the troops (she is one of the Troops) family values (she is married to the father of her 4-children), marriage is between one-man-one-woman…drill for oil in ANWAR, pro 2nd Amendment, pro-10th Amendment and on and on, etc.
Anyone who tries to paint her as anything but a 100% Real Republican is either misinformed or is with an opposition candidate who has nothing else to throw at Katherine Jenerette.
I gave a few bucks to her campaign. I hope she is able to get her message out.
Darrell, please keep the conversation civil. Everyone has their own opinions on all kinds of issues.
Katherine and her husband Van have a few DARK secrets about how and when they meet. Van also has children almost Katherines age from a previous marriage. One of his children from his previous marriage has accused him of molesting her. Katherine came home from active duty after DSS took her children from Van. Check the public court records before you vote.
Darrell, do you just like slinging mud? Not one of the charges you’ve leveled has anything to do with Jenerette herself! I suspect you are someone with an ex to grind and you don’t mind being dirty to do it.
Talibans have promised to stop war if Israel, inspired by Isabella the Catholic mono-confessionnal state evangelising Americas, moves towards poly-confessionnal, with withdraw troop calendar.
the funny thing about this ad is that it does not show or tell anything about this candidate, just because she is on a military web site does not mean she is a good candidate. please tell us some thing about her not just the flashy ad
