Jim Martin receives the Markos Kiss of Death.

Personally I’m not going to be swayed by those lefties one way or another. Fact is, Chambliss is on board with the Patriot Act, Prescription Drugs, and the bailout. He’s on the plantation. We need some real deal folks.

“The ad in question didn’t morph Osama into Cleland”

You’re right, in no way does Osama appear. I mean, the first second or two must be from some other ad. Right?

Anyway, I think the cash infusion provided by the Kos crowd is beneficial, but the constant liberal references cannot be a good thing.

The press has bought the morphing thing big-time. I guess if you repeat a lie enough it becomes true.

“You’re right, in no way does Osama appear. I mean, the first second or two must be from some other ad. Right?”

Of course when trying to defend a lie one of the few rebuttals would be a non sequitur.

No wonder the GOP leadership tried to get rid of Broun. He makes it so easy to see how Liberal Saxby and Johnny are.

You make a good point I have not seen many Martin signs yet I usually travel in heavy Red areas (Cherokee, East Cobb and North Fulton). Once again my son had a soccer game at the Gwinnett YMCA and I did not see one sign from Cherokee to Gwinnett for Saxby, yet I did see signs for McCain, Price…… I am not saying he has no signs yet it is strange not seeing any.

SpaceyG’s head just exploded–again.

konop, i think a better indication of conservative disgust with saxby can be found right here on pp.

konop, all politicians are in denial right up to the moment they realize they should have paid more attention to obvious indicators before the election.

An endorsement from DailyKos isn’t going to matter at all this election. It’s not going to affect Jim Martin’s run for chambliss senate seat. Things are bad in this country as well in this state. Umemployment is at its highest here in over 20 years. I don’t put much stock into Rasmussen poll at all. If the other polls, including strategic vision shows this race all but tied, then this is a legitimate race. The bottom line is chambliss has been there for 6 years including 8 in congress. He is part of the problem. His votes for spending bills that has put our national debt, deficits at record levels, the support of the amnesty bill, & his vote against S-CHIP is enough for me to vote for a democrat for the first time since Sam Nunn back in 1990.

You left out Life On Mars. Don’t you want to make a few observations about 1973?

slyram, you said, “is Jones upset that the Democrat Party treated him like Ugly Betty for voting for President Bush. Why can Jim Martin vote for John Edwards and Jim Marshall support Bush policies that McCain admits were questionable and the Democrats run behind them like Dr. McDreamy from Grey’s Anatomy but Vernon Jones got shamed for being bipartisan?”

I don’t know what VJ kool-aid YOU were drinking but the Democratic party did not reject him because he voted for Bush twice. If you knew anything about Vernon Jones, or lived under his “rule” in DeKalb county (which rejected Vernon in the primary!), you would know why he was treated so poorly.

The man is an ego-maniac who acted like he was elected King of Dekalb, ran the County Board meetings like they were hazing rituals, and on MULTIPLE occasions tried to physically intimidate women and older people who opposed him. I witnessed him not-so-subtly threaten both Jane Kidd and labor leaders at party meetings before the primary. That kind of behavior is UNCALLED for, and it certainly turned most in the Democratic party against him.

Jim Martin, on the other hand, is a kind, decent human being…something neither Vernon nor Saxby could claim. He won’t always vote the way liberals want him to, but he’ll be honest about that, and he’ll hear you out….especially when he disagrees. We heard this same “Atlanta liberal” talk in 2006, and Martin still got more votes than Mark Taylor in EVERY county in GA. There’s a lot to be said for decency, which is why Democrats united behind Martin in the first place.

As for Saxby, I don’ t know why he’s acting like he’s all independent now. He ran promising us that he’d basically do what Bush told him in 2002, and he lived up to the promise. Kinda sucks that being Bush’s butt boy in the Senate isn’t helpful in 2008, but he certainly kept his promise to GA voters who elected him in 2002.

GA VAlues

The RED STATE bloggers can’t count that high. And, Saxby’s core supporters can’t read.
