Well, I don’t know that we should have expected anything else. Our allegedly-not-running-again Senator Chambliss and our can’t-run-again-(thank-you-Jesus) Governor Perdue will be hosting a fundraiser for Charlie Crist here in Georgia.
As this Peach Pundit post mentions, Perdue certainly doesn’t have anything to lose with this move, and if Chambliss really isn’t going to run again, he’s got nothing to lose either.
There’s one real conservative in that Florida Senate race, and it’s not Crist. Then again, why would Saxby support the conservative?
If Lindsey Graham has an idea, it’s probably a bad one. I know it’s not always the case, but usually, if you hear Senator Graham say we should go North, we’re likely much better off heading due South. But when Saxby Chambliss agrees with Lindsey Graham, well, if that doesn’t send up red flags for you, nothing will.
I recently saw an interview on youtube with these two Senators, and it’s a really interesting one. Basically, the argument is that we should attack Iran so Israel doesn’t have to. Then the world can be angry at us instead of being angry at Iran.
Senator Graham says:
I think an Israeli attack on Iran is a nightmare for the world, because it will rally the Arab world around Iran and theyre not aligned now. Its too much pressure to put on Israel.
Seems to me like that would put all of that pressure on the US. Is that really what he wants?
Graham continues:
If we use military action against Iran, we should not only go after their nuclear facilities. We should destroy their ability to make conventional war. They should have no planes that can fly and no ships that can float.
Wow. That’s saying a lot. So what does Saxby Chambliss say of this idea?
The problem with military action also is that youre probably not going to be able to stop the production of uranium by just a simple airstrike. Lindsey’s right. Its an all or nothing deal.
“It’s an all or nothing deal.” Given those options, I’d take nothing.
Here’s the youtube video for your viewing pleasure:
This morning I found this post by Michael Naragon that breaks apart the canned response from Saxby Chambliss that so many of us have received.
I got the same email and have been working on a draft of a post that would have been very similar to the one Michael. Instead of rehashing the same stuff, [...]
Here’s the canned response Saxby is sending those who contacted him about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009:
Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 1, the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.” It is good to hear from you.
On January 28, 2009, the House of Representatives voted along party lines to pass [...]
Well, this is interesting. Reader Chris just forwarded an email from Bob Barr (apparently mine didn’t get delivered). Bob Barr is encouraging his supporters to vote for Saxby in the runoff election tomorrow.
Quoting the email from Barr:
In Tuesday December 2nd’s runoff election we have a choice between incumbent Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss and Democratic challenger [...]
Well, tomorrow brings Sarah Palin to Georgia. That should be interesting.
I’ll be at home though. I went to see McCain when he was in town, and though he did say a few things that sounded nice, it appeared to me that it was more of the same old stuff from the liberal Republican Party we’ve [...]

This morning at the Paulding Republicans meeting I attended, Micah Gravley (Chairman for Saxby in Paulding County) challenged those in attendance who voted for Allen Buckley to vote for Saxby in the runoff. He said he understands that voters are frustrated with Saxby. He insists that Chambliss has gotten the message sent by voters on [...]
