Give 'em hell Jason!!!

Campaign funds were NOT used for this expense. It came fom personal funds and the receipt accidentally made it into the FEC pile during sorting by a volunteer who completed the filing. The filing has been amended and is being resubmitted. And for the record, the haircut was $25, the shampoo and lunch that was bought there was another $15 and the tip was $10, for a total of $50. Again, no funds from campaign coffers were ever used to pay for this expense and the FEC filing has been amended.

The last time I bought lunch from the salon I had a... wait.. what the hell?

Hey Josh, I'm with you sir. I don't think I would want food with my hair being cut. The two just don't mix.

According to some political commentators out there, Dr. Knight has molded his candidacy in the fashion of John Edwards. It is ironic how this problem haunted Edwards as well.

When I had hair, I sometimes paid $30 at a 'salon' but now there's a great place in Locust Grove where I only pay $8. Not that it matters.

I'm going to side with the candidate from the Party of Legal Plunder on this one.

Didn't Edwards pay like $400 for a haircut? Knight spent $50 & got lunch. Not my cup of tea, but to each their own.

If I got a haircut, shampoo, & lunch at Longhorn, $50 isn't outside the realm of reality. But like I said, lunch at a hair salon? That's just...weird to me.

Not my cup of tea, but to each their own.

That is sort of my point. Knight wants to tell you how to spend your money at the point of a gun (government).

Populist candidates like Rand oftentimes find themselves in this quagmire. Their platform's are geared toward government help and support for the proletariat. However, they are not really among them. John Kerry, John Edwards, and others have been attacked as a little disingenuous for their attempts to portray themselves as champions of the common folk when they are not, and indeed their backgrounds and actions do not always indicate they have been plagued by the problems faced by the working class of this nation. Obama, although he came from humble beginnings, is feeling a little of that criticism because many consider him a bit out of touch with the working poor after having not really been one himself. I will say this for Rand Knight, he does seem to offer solutions and proposals for the problems we face as a society. The only thing is is that those solutions don't shrink the size of government and protect indivdual opportunities. They are choice limiting, big spending, and liberal answers to problems. The opposite is true for Mr. Allen Buckley. He offers very reasoned academic sounding arguments and solutions to our problems, like Knight. However, unlike Knight, Buckley's solutions do shrink the size of government and offer the American people more choices, albeit some of the solutions he has require us to tighten our belt and sacrifice a little now to save a lot later. He spoke to about 30 students and faculty at our campus recently, and many of my students were quite impressed with his presentation. Some of them are Democrats but said they had loads of respect for him for offering solutions that they felt would solve the problem and bringing to the student's attention how our current administration and two party system is mortgaging our future. The problem with Allen is he does not have much money to run his campaign. If he were able to get his message out to more people, he would win more votes. I know he picked up a dozen or so votes this past Tuesday just for coming to a small liberal arts community college with 500 students max in a tiny little suburb on the southwestern side of Atlanta. If he could do more and more of that and expand his audience, he would really be causing Chambliss and the Demoncrats (yes that was an intentional misspelling) a lot of grief. As far as I can see, there is only one candidate in this U.S. Senate race who has the ideas we need to help stop the economic collapse we face and that candidate is Allen Buckley. We need to get off our duffs and do what we can to support him. I started with a donation of 50.00 and I challenge the rest of small government, freedom loving voters on this site to do the same. Let me hear the rest of you sound off on this one. How much are you willing to donate to candidates like Allen who will protect freedom, not mortgage it, and offer tough solutions that work, not pander for more of the same and less of the SANE!!!

$50 for a hair cut and lunch is only the beginning people.

When was the last time you asked for a receipt for a haircut? What would you need one for and if you got one why would a volunteer "misfile" it with your business/campaign receipts? The only reason for a receipt from a meal would be tax purposes so was he going to split the cost or write the entire deal off in which case it would be tax evasion or fraud that is unless they have made haircuts tax deductible.
Lets face it he is a John Edwards,John Kerry clone or is that clown same difference.
