Senate Race Now A Tossup

Saxby has no one to blame but himself. Isakson is next.

Let us just hope that Isakson has the decency to lose to a Republican challenger.

Hank,

Were you screaming in outrage in 2005-2006 when all of the outrageous spending bills were being passed by the Republicans?

OR…were you A-O-K with those bills because people like Saxby and Bush stood-up and stopped Congress for the Terri Schiavo adventure?

What kind of “conservative” are you really? The fiscal kind or the socio-religious kind?

Are we sure that Saxby is actually fiscally conservative? I’m just sayin’ - based on experience, do we really think he would stop the filibuster? Or would he throw his fiscally conservative base under the bus again?

Bill S, I consider myself a balanced conservative.

I believe in freedom to practice religion without government interference.

I believe in fiscal responsibility (we need to be able to keep more of our money and pay less to the Government.) Producers only produce when we are allowed to reward our selves for our production (see my name if you know what it stands for.)

No I was not A-O-K on spending in 05-06 or even before that.

Now of course I voted for Saxby 6 years ago under the illusion he was conservative. I will not be duped again.

In regards to Terri Schiavo that issue should have stayed in the family and been between them and their God.

Going back to what kind of Conservative am I. I am a Freedom First Conservative then I am a Social/Fiscal Conservative.

Now lets see you answer instead of always ask. What kind of Conservative do you claim to be?

Let’s see. What kind of conservative do you claim to be?

Can someone explain to me why I should vote for Saxby….?

Nope. Vote your conservative conscience. Do you actually think anybody on this board is dull enough to believe anyone commenting on this board needs to be convinced how and who to vote for?

I for one will be glad when Saxby is taught his lesson and leaves the ignorant ones to the hands of Martin and the rest of DC.

Chris

LOL

The only ones who herd like sheep are the ones wanting to teach a lesson to their own demise and way of life.

No Martin won’t get muck done, he’ll have the sheep herd mentality and follow the dung.

Vote Buckley! Buy some toilet paper and bend over and wipe your rear. Take the paper and bring it to your nose, smell it. If it looks like crap and it smells like crap, it’s crap. Vote Buckley, and what you guarantee yourself is crap.

Another screw up. Always.

Bowersvile,

Jim Martin is an honorable man. Whether it was volunteering in Vietnam, or working on behalf of children and women as a state legislator.

Martin has a record of being honest, and of getting results.

The choice in this election is clear: A man who is honorable and truthful with Georgians, or a person who ignores the voices of Georgians, and has no principle by which he stands.

This is the story of the day that will not help Saxby and McCain!

Sen. McCain Key Note Speaker At ACORN Rally In 2006?

M… Sen. John McCain was happy to accept the honors and acclamation of the Service Employees International Union, People for the American Way, UNITE HERE — and ACORN. Here he is, on Feb. 20, 2006, telling immigration rights activists at a rally in Miami that they “are what makes America special.” ACORN co-sponsored the rally, and its volunteers surround McCain, and while there’s no evidence that McCain ever formally teamed with the group, the video serves as a reminder that he did not mind being associated with them when the politics of the moment were different….

Bowersville,

I respect anyone in the armed services, so I’m not exactly sure what you’re talking about.

Keep political discourse polite and respectful, theres enough garbage in politics, so please don’t add to it. Thanks.

Somebody fetch bowersville his meds. He’s babbling about Aaron Burr again.

Somebody fetch bowersville his meds. Now that’s funny. When you have a cogent thought please transfer it. What a hoot.

DavidAtlanta, when did I babble about Aaron Burr before, furnish your link you liar.

Game Fan, no pun intended, but you are fair game. It’s your guess as to whether I have a death wish for my way of life as a true American. Before you jump, consider the friendship of Bill Clinton and George H W and whether George W has been invited.

The new guy is more prone to listen to the constituents rather than “sticking to the playbook” ect… Or falling victim to the “glossy photos” if ya know what I mean. Let’s face it. DC is one big honey trap. Sick and disgusting.

John Konop,

In your ferverent goal of trusting everyone except the Republicans, is it okay with you if President Obama agrees with Iran that the Israeli nation should be destroyed so that both the U.S. and any other Arab nation can become friends until eternity?

DON’T answer with inserting some bull*hit news article that quotes some idiot about Obama’s thoughts.

ANSWER THE QUESTION IN YOUR OWN WORDS, JOHN.

As to the original topic at hand — I just don’t see it…while polling is one thing, I don’t see Saxby losing. Of course, I’ve been wrong before…

bowersville:

“So let me make it plane [sic] Skyler, you need to talk to Aaron Burr about keeping it nice, then 270 years later, you can talk to me.”

HankRearden,

You may “consider” yourself a “balanced conservative” but I doubt anyone else will.

Former henchmen of Georgia’s Christian Coalition are not, in any way, “balanced.”

For what I am is what I’ve ALWAYS been in this party: Fiscal conservative and “get the f*ck out of my business and everyone else’s on religous and social matters” type of conservative.

Coupled with that is also a strong sense of fairness and justice…an element ALSO not inherently possessed by former henchmen of Georgia’s Christian Coalition….nor can it likely be learned by such people like yourself “HankReardon.”

Bill,

Did you see how the conservatives in Canada (more fiscally conservative than those in the USA) won yet another election in a county much more liberal than our own.

How did they do it? They held to fiscal conservative principles, like cutting the funding of the arts when it was unpopular. Have the so called conservative members of the GOP ever cut a program. (Renaming welfare EIC doesn’t count).

They also have little connection to religious conservatism. Religious “conservatism”, aka “Socialist’s Who Believe(*1) in God”.

One wonders if the GOP will ever get a clue and get back to the only position they have that sells, small government. I tend to doubt it.

(*1) Believe hear can be read as “profess belief” as I doubt the sincerity of many of them, such as Senator Widestance(R)-Urinals.

Bill what makes you think I am a, “Former henchmen of Georgia’s Christian Coalition…?” I have been to a grand total of 3 organized Christian Coalition event ever. That thing they do every year with the candidates and other electeds. I have never paid dues or contributed to fundraising for them (again other that the 3 things I paid to be admitted into.) Again if you knew anything about my name you would uderstand my focus.

On a similar but different topic. You seem to have alot of anger issues. Especially with religious issues. Maybe you should pray, meditate, or what ever it is you do so you won’t always be so angry. Anger only blocks rational thought.

Bah,

John, don’t call attention to my post, I made at least errors that are pet pieves of mine. One is the misuse of a posessive (’s) and the other was mispelling here as hear. At least I didn’t spell their as there.

Indy,

So, I guess when we eat an English muffin, we spit on the graves of the founding fathers. Wars end, people and nations change, and we move on. It’s healthy, give it a try.

I am not a fan of Senator Shameless, but that line of attack is completely over the line.

JK,

I didn’t say “Iraq” I said “Iran”. Key difference.

Rearden’s not Rearen’s

Bill, I am pretty sure you are guessing wrong on who I am on this one.

“e”, “o” however it is spelled…I know the difference between the two “Hanks”. You are not the same as the other guy.

Indy,

Fair enough.

Why not Bill, the Bush Administration is guaranteeing …..all bank deposits….all foreign purchases of CDO’s, MBS’s, and CDS’s….commercial paper (with NO COLLATERAL)……interbank transfers (the various Banks in the Grand Caymans should LOVE that…and so should terrorists financiers….)….about all they ain’t guaranteeing is that $10 will buy a loaf of bread in 3 years.

What I am hoping to unload is a bunch of lying SOB’s……

Indy,

How much would you like to bet that THAT attitude of yours is exactly the same attitude as the folks back in the day when Adolf Hitler was first campaigning during a bad time in Germany?

“Ohhh..woe is us…we want change..we don’t care HOW it changes…we just want change now! Let’s vote for THIS guy Adolf! He sounds like he knows what he is talking about…“

So…ummm…you’re telling me you think John McCain is as close to being Joseph Stalin as Barack Obama is to being Adolf Hitler?

rugby,

Don’t tell him to look up that novel, it may be a corrupting influence.

Her literary skills are awful and deserve scorn, but her philosophical ideas are of considerable merit, whether you agree or disagree with them.

Saxby has overall IMHO been a pretty poor excuse for a senator to represent Georgia over the past 6 years. I say he has had his chance, he represented the Texas Oil interest well. Let’s just let him take his 10-gallon hat on into retirement.
