This self-described Republican with Libertarian leanings is leaning more and more towards the Libertarians each day. An email received from the Buckley campaign shows how Chambliss’ voting record proves he is a big government Democrat.
The following bullet points are quoting the email from the Buckley campaign.
- $1.5 trillion of debt between 2001 and 2006
- a 75 percent increase in nondefense spending from 1995 through 2007 (35 percent, when adjusted for inflation)
- 7 percent growth in government on average per year from 2001 through 2006
- expansion of Medicare by addition of Part D (which then Comptroller General David Walker called “probably the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation since the 1960s”)
- farm subsidies and pork in general
- “National Watermelon Month!”
- No Child Left Behind (a bureaucratic mess with little positive to it)
- Gang of 10-one of the worst deals in the history of deals.
Wait. What? National Watermelon Month?
Anyway, take a good look at those points before you go vote. There’s only one fiscal conservative running in this race, and it’s certainly not Chambliss.
