Oh, all is not well within the Pinko Nation-

“I feel incredibly frustrated,” OpenLeft blogger Chris Bowers exclaimed. “Even after two landslide elections in a row, are our only governing options as a nation either all right-wing Republicans, or a centrist mixture of Democrats and Republicans? Isn’t there ever a point when we can get an actual Democratic administration?” And he asks, “Why isn’t there a single member of Obama’s cabinet who will be advising him from the left?” Writers at the Nation have decried Obama’s national security team as a “kettle of hawks,” denounced his economic aides as acolytes of “recycled Clintonism” who fancy “straight-up neoliberal deference to the market,” and assailed the retaining of Gates as a move that “has a dispiriting, stay-the-course feel to it.”-Washington Post

Louisiana was a RED State, Georgia was a RED State! Even if the same amount of voters turned out for GA runoff, Chambliss would have won because Barr was not in the race to take votes from Saxby. And, in Louisiana, it is also common for Democrats to run as Republicans against other Democrats, (just happened in the LA Senate Race Landrieu vs Kennedy) so YES, it is possible for Cao to be a Liberal Republican.

I posted this on the other blog, I thought you were still over there-

Sen. Chambliss said in his ads, over and over, that he wants to lower our taxes.

He didn’t say he wanted lower taxes, he said Jim Martin would raise them. And he is exactly right. How can you argue a position of lower taxes from the democrat side?

Let’s just say that their kampaign promises aren’t lies and they will give a “tax cut to 95% of the people.” So what good is that when you know full well they are going to tax energy to the hilt? There are going to be road taxes, luxury taxes, public use taxes, you name it, they will bury a surcharge in it.

They think no one has enough sense to see it.

He isn’t for worker retraining, for funding childhood education, or for expanding pell grants for college, for transportation infrastructure in Atlanta, or fuel alternatives, for clean water, and green space.

That’s just simply not true. I’m not going to break it all down but the very first thing on your list-

Atlanta - Workers dislocated from the Brown & Williamson facility in Macon , Georgia will receive transition assistance as the result of a federal grant secured by Governor Sonny Perdue. A $4.2 million workforce retraining grant is being made available by the U.S. Department of Labor. Said Governor Sonny Perdue. “I also appreciate Senators Chambliss and Miller for their assistance facilitating this grant.”

To say that he is against clean water, etc. is nonsense straight from the Huffington Post.

btw, Chicagoans don’t heat their homes with nuclear power, they use the same natural gas as we do here in GA, (Peoples Gas Co, there are regulations in place with controls on pricing) Nuclear plants generate electricity, not natural gas…..

I was responding to this-

It costs more to heat a home here than it does in Chicago, where the average temp in Jan & Feb is 20 - 30 below zero wind chill, because of deregulation. Electricity is more expensive as well in deregulated states such as this one.

I was wondering who would be silly enough to heat their home with electricity but I didn’t go there.

As a voter, If you cannot name One thing that your representative has done

Again, I don’t know where you are getting your information but I can name hundreds of things he has done, some good, some not so good, the not so good mostly when he was working with democrats.

How are illegals Pres Elect Obama’s fault if he hasn’t even been the President yet?

Republicans beat back their leaders and stopped this country killing immigration amnesty, trust me on this one, democrats are going to be beating on their leaders to enact amnesty.

You will be competing with waves of immigrants for jobs, health care, schooling, transportation, all of the things you say that Chambliss does nothing on.

Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something.

The scientists and scholars Heartland is assembling are not members of the gloom-and-doom chorus. They dispute the frantic claims that global warming is an onrushing catastrophe; many are skeptical of the notion that human activity has a significant effect on the planet’s climate, or that such an effect can be reliably measured or predicted. Some point out that global temperatures peaked in 1998 and have been falling since then. Indeed, several argue that a period of global cooling is on the way. Nearly all would argue that climate is always changing, and that no one really knows whether current computer models can reliably account for the myriad of factors that cause that natural variability.

But as the list of confirmed speakers for Heartland’s climate-change conference makes clear, it is Gore whose eyes are shut to reality. Among the “climate deniers” lined up to speak are Richard Lindzen, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT; the University of Alabama’s Roy W. Spencer, a pioneer in the monitoring of global temperatures by satellite; Stephen McIntyre, primary author of the influential Climate Audit blog; and meteorologist John Coleman, who founded the Weather Channel in 1982.-Boston.com

Yawn-

Historians have directly attributed the fall of Saigon in 1975 to the cessation of American aid. Without the necessary funds, South Vietnam found it logistically and financially impossible to defeat the North Vietnamese army. Moreover, the withdrawal of aid encouraged North Vietnam to begin an effective military offensive against South Vietnam. Given the monetary and military investment in Vietnam, former Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage compared the American withdrawal to “a pregnant lady, abandoned by her lover to face her fate.” 2 Historian Lewis Fanning went so far as to say that “it was not the Hanoi communists who won the war, but rather the American Congress that lost it.”

In the fall of 1974, Nixon resigned under the pressure of the Watergate scandal and was succeeded by Gerald Ford. Congress cut funding to South Vietnam for the upcoming fiscal year from a proposed 1.26 billion to 700 million dollars. These two events prompted Hanoi to make an all-out effort to conquer the South. As the North Vietnamese Communist Party Secretary Le Duan observed in December 1974: “The Americans have withdrawn…this is what marks the opportune moment.”

Uh, the democrats controlled Congress in 1974.

Congress couldn’t cut off funding for the Vietnam war without the president signing off on it. Ford could simply have vetoed bills that cut funding and kept fighting the war. There were not enough anti-war Dems even at that late date to override a veto. But Ford didn’t stick his neck out and do that because he realized the American people were damn tired of that war. And even in ‘75, there probably was no clear path to a U.S. victory except for dropping a nuke on Hanoi.

Here you go:

S Amendment 3810 Vote to adopt an amendment that would grant subsidies to part-time farmers, ranchers, or foresters with an average adjusted gross income that does not exceed $250,000 and to full-time farmers, ranchers, or foresters with an average adjusted gross income that does not exceed $750,000 and would increase funding for certain programs.

Senator Chambliss voted NO - No to helping small farmers with subsidies, but yes to Corporate Farm subsidies…..

SB 2611 Vote to pass a bill that increases border security and enforcement laws, establishes criteria for U.S. citizenship, and provides financial assistance programs for areas of immigration.

Establishes criminal penalties to immigrants who illegally enter or are present in the U.S., those who employ undocumented immigrants, and those who participate in undocumented immigrant harboring or smuggling (Sec 274(a)(1)(2)(b) and 275(a))

Senator Chambliss voted NO

Clean water & Alternative energy….. Voted No on Alternative Energy Tax Incentives, Voted NO on Carbon Emissions Caps Voted YES on Shale and Offshore Natural Gas Drilling Voted NO on the Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency Amendment Voted NO on the Clean Air Mercury Rule Voted YES on the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, 2002 - the major portions went to the Army Corps of Engineers, reclamation and Nuclear Waste storage and removal…… Not so clean, and how bout that corp of engineers….. can you say failed levees in 2005… money well spent right?

To his credit, he did Vote YES to the Safe Drinking water amendment, but who would vote against that?
could go on…..

And finally, that $4.2 mil workforce grant was in 2003, and Michael Thurmond requested the emergency funding from the US Dept of Labor. This is 2008 almost 2009.

I can cut & paste, too.

Nevertheless, Congress never actually cut off funding for US troops in Vietnam, despite the massive and sustained opposition to the war that developed among the American people. There were some restrictions imposed on escalation of the war, including a ban on invading North Vietnam and limits on US military actions in Cambodia and Laos. The cutoff of funds voted by Congress in 1974, after US troops had been withdrawn, applied only to the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), the puppet military force which was already on its last legs and ultimately collapsed in April 1975.

Right-wing elements, many of them prominent in the current administration, have in recent years promoted the claim that congressional action sabotaged what would otherwise have been a successful American policy in Vietnam, but this pretense is absurd. As Henry Kissinger admitted, the Nixon administration was well aware of the hopelessness of the Saigon regime, and only wanted “a decent interval” between the final US troop withdrawal, in 1973, and the collapse of the puppet state two years later.

A few things to keep in mind:

1) Geography. If Laos had been the Sea of Laos we wouldn’t be having the discussion as Vietnam was only 53 miles wide at the DMZ.

2) To my knowledge we never mined North Vietnam’s harbors and bombing the big dam (to flood Hanoi) was off limits.

3) We didn’t have the guts to cut the Ho Chi Minh trails (plural) with ground troops.

4) We were about 15 years behind the curve for smart bombs, cruise missles, etc. which would have made a big difference (i.e., the railroad bridges from China that were never cut).

5) If there was immorality in the war in Vietnam, it was that a democratic nation called her citizens to war, had them killed by the tens of thousands, and then, like a faithless lover, turned and scorned the survivors. Oh, perfidious nation! David Donovan

When asked whether he cheated on his 1st wife with his now current wife, Senator John McClain failed to give a straight answer…

So John McCain is an adulterer - big deal!

Larry Craig failed to give a straight answer, too.

Obama supports bailout with conditions

Rick Wagoner, the chief executive of GM, “has to move on,” Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“I think you have got to consider new leadership,” Dodd said. Asked if that should be a condition of any bailout, he said, “I think it is going to have to be part of it.”-Urinal

This is dangerous in ways a moron life long senator from a totally failed institution like Congress can even begin to understand.

It’s so…………….third world.

Gosh, do they never tire of “advising” us on how to “succeed?”

Forgotten, at least for the moment, was the fact that John McCain had carried Georgia by only five percentage points, compared to George Bush’s margin of 17 points in 2004, and that in the general election Chambliss had led Jim Martin by only three points.-Bookman, Urinal

This might be hard for some to figure out but Bush was the “Conservative” candidate and McCain was the squishy reach across the aisle moderate.

Who won by a bigger margin?

Little Miss Poopy Pants doesn’t know this, but Hensley- McCain got almost 100,000 more votes than her hero did in 2004.

[[“I think you have got to consider new leadership,” Dodd said. ]]

Asked if he was speaking of himself and other members of Congress, given the huge deficits, failing to cut programs enacted years ago, failing to bring fresh ideas to the table and failure to pass significant, new legislation, Sen Dodd replied, “Huh? Hey, wait a minute! That’s different!”

Whatever policy Washington pursues, a quick and painless recovery is not going to happen, and the only real question is whether Democrats will delay recovery by implementing liberal policies that make a very bad situation even worse.

Just as the failure of the Democratic economic agenda is a foregone conclusion, their political agenda — expecting voters to wait patiently for the delivery of the promised Hope — will meet the same nuance-free fate: It won’t work.-AmSpec

Patience is all the Republicans need.
