DEL.ICIO.USChambliss, Conrad tout energy remedy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
While five Democrats campaign for a shot at replacing him, incumbent U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) is in Washington and, at least for today, working across the aisle.
Our Cox Washington colleague Julia Malone sends us this update:
“In an attempt to bring the fueding parties together to wean the nation off foreign oil, Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss and Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad on Tuesday said they both want more offshore exploration and more conservation.
“The conservative Chambliss, of Georgia, and the liberal-leaning Conrad of North Dakota spoke on CNN about their “gang of 10” senators, including five from each party, who have been meeting together to find a solution to the energy problem.”

When will Saxby be more worried about our chicken industry than South Dakota’s corn industry & start the repeal of the $.54/galon duty on imported ETHANOL which both Coke & the Chicken industry has requested… Saxby is more worried about special interest money than Georgia industry. Check this link out & see how Saxby can lower gas prices & save GEORGIA jobs…http://www.taxpayer.net/resources.php?category=&type=Project&proj_id=1074&action=Headlines%20By%20TCS

Translation: Chambliss is worried that Georgians will embrace the ideas and remedies for energy creation, conservation and GREEN JOBS put forth by the candidate Dr. Rand Knight, who knows a thing or twelve about the science of making these things happen, and actually cares about improving the lives of our people. Chambliss is afraid that Georgians have had enough of hot air blowing up their behinds instead of solutions. Especially in this drought, there’s too much chafing. Ouch! The green deal is looking better and better.

Chambliss will not be able to buy this election. He will be defeated because of poor performance, plain and simple.

Translator, No one knows who Dr. Randie Night is. This will be proven tonight.
Tom GA Hunter, How does conservation and exploring for oil lead to special interest? You and Dale “Tower Climber” Cardwell can go have a pity party after the results come in tonight.

Tom is not to be reasoned with. His hatered of Saxby clouds every thought that crosses his small mind. He leads an army of less than 10. Saxby is well liked in the state, has a sizeable warchest, and leads in all the polling. Just let Tom rant. November is going to be a sad month for ole, Tom. But there is a bright side. At least it will be hunting season. Peace.

Churchill is not to be trusted he blogs to annoy to cause anger and hatred he feeds off it like Larry Craig in a Russian bath house, let him rant I chuckle at his ignorance, his pathetic existence bragging on his faux paw dawg wife, condo in Panama City next to Club Lavela, and his constance reference to Rupaul, your so annoying I would think were relations except I don’t screw fat chicks

Tom is angry tonite. His candidate is not going to win. He knew it, yet he is angry. Here’s an idea there Tom, try to find a candidate that has a chance. Buckley has far too few voters to make a diference in November. Saxby will be reelected.
It makes Tom feel better to burden people, he doesn’t know, with his own miserable life details. Your futility, nonetheless, is quite encouraging. You will feel better tomorrow Tom. Peace.

What the hell Saxby is a crook & I’m a fool.. Georgia deserves to be screwed by Saxby & his whole family. Maybe a little of the special interest money will come my way. I’m voting for Vernon, I really would like to have 2 hot women at 1 time.

I have been name hijacked, that’s cool. Libs and foul tempered libertarians like to do that when they get upset.
I did vote a Democrat ballot today, though. A couple of local elections, without Republican candidates, were important, and I voted for Martin. Many Republicans crossed over in hopes of forcing a run-off. The more time the libs spend fighting each other and spending money on the primary, the better in my book. Peace.
