Saxby Has Received The Message

November 8, 2008

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 [...]

A Win/Win Situation

November 7, 2008

Allen Buckley is in a win/win situation.  No, he won’t be our next Senator, but he’s in a unique position as we enter this (probable) runoff election.
Buckley is preparing a commitment of reasonable fiscal responsibility.  The candidate that agrees to it gets Buckley’s support and (most likely) a hefty percentage of the votes that were [...]

Saxby’s Record

November 7, 2008

I saw this post from Brett Bittner that gave a really good, concise list of some of Saxby’s recent votes in the Senate.  Much thanks to Brett for letting me post it verbatim here.

Voted FOR the bailout.
Voted FOR the farm bill.
Was among the Gang of 10 energy boondoggle, raising taxes after taking the “no tax [...]

Fox is Making Up News

November 5, 2008

MyFoxAtlanta.com is reporting that Saxby Chambliss has a 51% lead with 98% of precincts reporting.  However, the Secretary of State site is showing Saxby at 49.9% with 96% of precincts reporting.
I thought all along that Fox called this race way too early last night.  They said it was over when Saxby had 57% of the [...]

They’ve Called It; I’m Not Convinced

November 5, 2008

They called it a few hours ago…predicting Saxby Chambliss will unfortunately retain his seat in the U.S. Senate.  The Secretary of State web site currently shows 95% of precincts reporting and Saxby with 50.7% of the vote.
I suppose there’s still a chance that Buckley and Martin could spoil this, but it’s late and I have [...]

Election Day

November 4, 2008

The word I’m hearing is that people aren’t finding long lines at the polls this morning.  I’ve even heard some reports of no lines at all.
So you have no reason at all to skip voting today.  The last thing we need is to have Saxby Chambliss in Washington for another term because you didn’t go [...]

November 2 Senate Debate

November 3, 2008

Those of you looking for last night’s debate can find it here.  I tried to pull it down and get it on youtube, but it started taking more time than I have to spend on it.  Sorry for the non-embedded link.
My favorite line of the night was from Allen Buckley, who, in his closing statement [...]

Buckley vs. 2 Democrats

October 30, 2008

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 [...]

Why Jim Martin Opposed the Bailout Bill

October 23, 2008

I’m not a big fan of blogs that “me too” content from other related blogs, and I try not to do that here.  However, I saw a post on Peach Pundit that was too applicable to the discussions here to not mention.  The post (here) quotes Jim Martin on the real reason he would have [...]
