November 2 Senate Debate

Monday, November 3rd, 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 said:

Our state needs and deserves a great senator.  Saxby Chambliss is not, and never will be, a great Senator.  I think he is less than a mediocre Senator.  From farm subsidies to pork to sugar factory explosions, he serves the special interest groups that serve him.

If you didn’t get in on the early voting, be sure to get out and vote (Buckley) in tomorrow’s election.  We need a great senator.  This is our chance to elect one.

Senate Debate

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

A debate for the Senate position currently held by Saxby Chambliss took place this past Thursday in Perry.  It was streamed live on a local TV station’s site, but I wasn’t able to watch.  I deliberately delayed this posting, hoping that it would show up on youtube, but I’ve not found it anywhere online yet.

Fortunately, Jason Pye (not associated with this site) was kind enough to cover it live so we all could get a feeling for what happened at the debate.

Two pieces that I found particularly amusing:

7:19  Jason:  Chambliss blames the [economic] crisis on Clinton and is booed.

and

7:30  Jason:  Chambliss, the self-proclaimed small government candidate, praises Medicare part D.
7:30  Jason:  Buckley slams  him on it.

If you’ve got this debate recorded in some way that we can get it online here, or if you find any/all of it streaming online, drop an email to contact (at) firesaxby (dot) com.
