Rep. Jack Kingston’s (R-GA) children want you to know their dad is cheap.
The four children of the GOP Senate candidate are featured in a new ad describing their father’s thrifty habits.
“Our dad is Jack Kingston, he really is cheap and it’s not just the car he drives,” Betsy, one of Kingston’s daughters said, referring to a previous ad on Kingston choosing to drive an old station wagon to save money.
“He’ll drive five miles on empty, just to save two cents a gallon,” Kingston’s son Jack said.
Later in the ad Jack said that for his dad “it’s about personal responsibility and respecting the value of a dollar.”
“He’ll be the same way in the Senate,” Kingston’s daughter Ann said.
Some of the most negative coverage of Kingston in the Georgia Senate race has focused on spending. In December Kingston suggested poor students should sweep floors to earn their school lunches. An investigation by Georgia’s WSAV channel 3 found Kingston had expensed $4,182 worth of lunches to his office over the past three years.

Curious: Did you buy the matching cups yourself? Because if he was that cheap you’d all be drinking out of chipped mason jars from the thrift store.
Alms for the ignorant. Sorry holding the cups gave the whole ad away.
The question is … what flavor of kool-aid are those cups holding?
Gas costs the same whether you burn it on empty or full. Given that we know who this clown thinks he is talking to.
Look at that pic. The perfect preppy family…living on 174,000 dollars a year and another 50,000 or so in benefits. I think folks fail to realize that getting a gig in Congress is one of the highest paying jobs out there…and like it or not…government created it.
“He’ll drive five miles on empty, just to save two cents a gallon,” Kingston’s son Jack said.
Let’s see, 5 miles at 20 mpg and $4/gal, cost is $1.00
$.02/gal saved times 20 gal fillup, savings is $0.40
Conclusion: he’s a Republican budget expert.
