Another Martin ad attacks Chambliss on the economy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tondee’s Tavern this morning unveiled a new ad by Jim Martin, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate.
Again, Martin hammers Republican incumbent Chambliss on the economy. The formal debut of the 30-second spot will come at a 3 p.m. press conference, but you can see it below.
The key question of course, is how much money Martin has to spend on television. You also have to wonder when Chambliss will hit back. And how.

During the last 8 years Republican Congressmen tried to fix the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae mess but they were blocked by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. The Wall Street’s Paulson along with Frank And Dodd wrote the $700,000,000,000.00 bail out Wall Street bill then added $153,000,000,000.00 of PORK for good measure.* Our 7 Republican Congressmen voted against this RIP OFF of the taxpayer. Yet Saxby Chambliss (Socialist/RINO,Ga) voted for this waste.* Why he has received over $10,621,716.00 from special interest much of it from BANKS & INSURANCE COMPANIES. With Saxby MONEY talks & the Taxpayer walks. FIRE SAXBY NOW, HIRE A HONEST MAN, ALLEN BUCKLEY

This is so typical of the Martin Campaign - offer no reason to vote for Jim, just make up a bunch of crap and throw it at Chambliss. Martin has nothing to offer Georgians and I for one will be casting my vote for Saxby Chambliss on November 4th!

For the last 5 years I have been writing Saxby Chambliss to get out of the Lobbyist back pocket but he has only gotten worse as time goes on, Chambliss has been is Washington for 14 years & has drank too much of the Kool aid up there. I am voting for a real conservative Allen Buckley. Check him out…http://www.buckleyforsenate.com/welcome.asp

Jim Martin is a vet, Saxby Chambliss dodged the draft with a lame excuse. Chambliss voted to cut spending on VA Hospitals. As one who has served his country , Martin has my vote.

Last year Saxby decides to work with a bunch of LIBERAL democrats to give a bunch of Illegals AMNESTY. We all yelled and Saxby changed his mind. This year Saxby works with a bunch of LIBERAL Democrats to put a windfall tax on oil. We are yelling but Saxby is listening to lobbyist not the voter. I am voting for a real conservative Allen Buckley. You just have to wonder what Saxby will work out with the LIBERAL Democrats next year & what he does when we are not watching.

I will also be voting for Saxby. Better to have an imperfect Republican, than a all out socialist like Martin.

So Saxby’s blatantly corrupt and proven incompetent, but you’ll vote for him anyway? Great.
I guess the new Chambliss slogan is: “The Idiot’s Choice.”

Churchill has Stole my name.. In this race even a Moderate like Martin looks good compaired to the Socialist Saxby Special Interest Chambliss..By the way Saxby collected $1,322,000.00 for Banks, Real Estate & Insurance companies before he voted for the $700,000,000,000.00 bail out Wall Street act..McCain says Country First, Saxby says Lobbyist First. As Bo Chambliss LOBBYIST says FIRE SAXBY NOW.

I am sorry my son Winston has been stealing names here. See we don’t know who his father is but think he was a member of the UGA baseball team. When 1 of his Clayton county school chums told him that Saxby had 4f’d the draft but had still be able to play baseball for UGA. Little Winston decided that Saxby was his father. I have told him that I have never been that hard up but little Winston is not the sharpest tool around. Again I am so sorry but it’s hard to control at 9th grader when he is nearly 21.

Saxby, you are a turncoat! Even conservatives can see that you are on the take. Forget the tripe that Martin is serving, he is just a socialist of a darker shade. You have failed to serve your voters!! YOU ARE FIRED!!!
What has this country come to? Politicians are not in office to serve, but to get paid by special interests!! All we need is someone to stand up and look out for our interests and not their bank accounts.
