DEL.ICIO.USIt’s rare, but it does happen
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), a longtime of ally of President Bush - as are most Georgia Republicans in Congress - announced this week that he’s “deeply disappointed” that Bush is threatening to veto a Farm Bill Chambliss spent two years putting together.
Bush said Chambliss and the rest of the Senate Ag Committee just aren’t frugal enough. Whoa! Why doesn’t he insult their mothers while he’s at it?
The White House says the 2007 Farm Bill continues to send most of its farm subsidy money to the top 2 percent of America’s richest people and continues the subsidies despite the growth in farm earnings. Bush advisors said the nearly $300 billion Farm Bill contains $37 billion in “increased tax revenue and gimmicks.”
“Our committee worked for months to craft a strong bipartisan farm bill while remaining fiscally responsible,” Chambliss, the top Republican on the Ag Committee, said in a statement.
“I truly believe we have made serious reforms and meaningful improvements to current law considering the budget constraints we are facing,” Chambliss said.
So there, Mr. President! Veto away!

Josh Lanier is not owned by big money like Saxby is. He would never allow billionaires to purchase advertising that slanders our war veterans. We need a senator who works for the people of Georgia and the good of America, not for corporate bigwigs and the interest-income-only crowd.

No candidate for the Senate should be considered who fails to recognize and note that Bush committed false war in Afganistan and Iraq for the Saudis, oil, heroin, and a corrupt faction of false Jews in the State of Israel. The People must protect righteous, honest candidates of probity so that Bush, Cheney and their faction of traitors can be hanged to redeem Our Nation’s Honor.
