Fire Saxby Chambliss

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.

We said Saxby wasn’t fit for his job, but we never said he wasn’t in the majority in the Senate on this vote.

Take a look at this page, which gives a nice color-coded map of the nation to show which way Senators voted on this “let’s pass this along to the taxpayers” bill.  As you might suspect, the red states are the good ones.

Congrats, Saxby, on being able to go along with your party, even when they come up with an idea as asinine as this one.

Thanks to reader Chris for the link.
