Call him D’Artagnan: Giuliani completes a GOP parade of presidential ex’s
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney.
Somebody’s missing. Ron Paul? No, not Ron Paul.
Giuliani. Yes. Rudy Giuliani.
The fourth former GOP presidential candidate will make his way to Atlanta on Monday — that’s three days before Thanksgiving — to help Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss gather cash for the final week of his U.S. Senate runoff.
UPDATED: The event has now been shifted to Tuesday, Nov. 25.
The price of the evening fund-raiser at the Linstrum + Matre Artworks is $500 per couple. They will take more if you insist.
The former mayor of New York, you’ll recall, took .7 percent of the vote in Georgia’s Republican presidential primary.

I wonder why Ron Paul hasn’t come? Probably because he knows that Sissy Saxby is a tool of the pork barrel lobbyists.

I think that it is patently dishonest what the Republicans and their supporters have done and are doing to this country. I see no loyalty, no patriotism and no honesty in what they are doing. Needlessly, they raced into Iraq and a trillion dollar black hole from which no one can escape except our allies. Over four thousands young Americans will never come home again. No doubt, the distraction of Iraq led to a lack of attention being paid to domestic affairs. Now, the economy is in shambles, with 401Ks, annuities and IRAs tanking, savings accounts depleted, jobs gone, home equities gone and tens of thousands of home ownerships gone. Those, who are retired, are suddenly trapped in poverty because they don’t have the years left to recover. Those nearing retirement will have to continue working, if they can, because those nest eggs, on which they were relying, have disappeared almost overnight.
For almost eight years now, the GOP has been a losing horse. Now, they are asking the voters to continue with those losing horses, Senators and Congressmen, who adamantly backed Bush and Cheney in their gross mismanagement of the affairs of this country, across the board.
Reports are that mortgage lenders encouraged home buyers to sign up for loans (losing horses), well beyond their means. Now, we have Republicans pulling a similar trick on the voters. Having cost this country trillions of dollars in assorted losses, they know that their formula for leadership, laced with dishonesty, hasn’t worked. Just look at what’s happened to this country in the last eight years under their (leaderlessship?). Still, they have the audacity to ask the voters, of Georgia for example to vote for those, who supported that miserably failed leadership. No doubt, their hope is to find enough voters stuck on stupid to stay with a losing horse. Voting for GOP candidates at this time is not unlike sending a signed blank check to Nigeria.

I wonder why Ron Paul hasn’t come? Probably because he has not been asked, if Buckley has not endorsed Saxby why would any other libertarian?

Nope, .07% is correct.

Nope, .07% is correct. Ron Paul took 3rd in GA with 3%.

WE HAVE MORE TO DO:
Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush’s Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.
At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.
You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don’t have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.
He supposedly works for you. But he doesn’t think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn’t that just make you BURRING MAD!
Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family’s, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.
Don’t let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He’s not one of you. He is on George Bush’s side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.
Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.
As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss “Let Them Eat Cake” vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don’t have to be Saxby Chambliss’s victims anymore.
I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.
God bless all of you

What a irresponsible way to report the news.
You are clearly undermining Rudy Giuliani’s Visit to help Saxby
If you would check the facts, he had dropped out of the race a full week ahead of the Georgia Primary.
Although I know he was not going to win that primary, he still lost out on Votes BECAUSE he dropped out of the Race a week before to support McCain
This is Irresponsible Journalism on your part.
Just remember one day the American people will say enough is enough about Journalist who are like you who report half of the story.
Use your computer to play on facebook, myspace, or watch Youtube videos of guys getting hit with a football in the groin if that is the best you can do!
