Vote for Chambliss. Keep Palin’s war with Russia alive. The dream war, against Russia in winter in landlocked South Ossetia, can still be your children’s future. Chambliss co-sponsored a failed bill to pull Ukraine and the Republic of Georgia into Nato, which would require us to go to war to defend Georgia in the ethnic strife with ethnic Iranians of South Ossetia. Think it cannot happen. Vote Chambliss and vote in more GOP Republican senators in 2010. Russia is waiting for Palin and Chambliss. Or vote Martin for peace and prosperity. Choose, for all of us.

I feel as if I’m a fairly conservative democrat, and this run off has changed my mind on this election, and today was the !. Martin was campaigning with one of music’s dirtiest “artists” - Ludacris. Enclosed are some lyrics to one of his songs:

“…Whips and chains, handcuffs, smack a little booty up with my belt Scream help play my game, Dracula Man, I’ll get my fangs Horseback and I’ll get my reigns School teacher let me get my brains…”

Enough said. One question for Martin…does he agree with these lyrics?

What in the world was Martin thinking?! Was he scared to turn him down? This is a guy that raps about torturing women in bed. Way to get those family values voters buddy! Oh, that’s right, his only hope is the coveted
“a*-on-the couch with a cold 40 and the remote vote.”

Chambliss and the Bush/Cheney War Economy!

Georgians currently face economic insecurity of historic magnitude due to Saxby Chambliss’ support of the Bush/Cheney War Economy. 2003 through 2008 has been the most fiscally irresponsible period in U.S history with Chambliss as a complicit enabler to this fiscally irresponsibility. Details of the Bush/Cheney War Economy follow:

During the primary months, the Iraq War appeared to be potentially the top issue for the 2008 election. Since then, the 1992 campaign slogan: It’s the Economy Stupid has gained ground. More narrowly we have the housing crisis, by Presidential decree the root cause of the financial crisis. The more likely the root causes of both of these crises are Greenspan’s unsustainably low interest rates and the unbridled, unregulated competition by lenders and their financiers.

With regard to the “Terror War”, it is actually two wars, but not Iraq and Afghanistan touted by the presidential campaign candidates. The first war, declared, was Al Qaeda’s War on America; with it central goal to “bleed America to bankruptcy” and the second is America’s “War on Terror”, with Iraq proclaimed by Bush and Cheney to b e its central front. Aside from aforementioned unbridled/unregulated competition, our most pressing economic woes are traceable not to the acts of 9/11 but to Bush/Cheney response to the acts of 9/11 and resulting unorthodox War Economy. The “War on Terror” and the Bush tax-cuts have been financed by foreign borrowings primarily by China and OPEC. This fiscal irresponsibility is the primary driver toward Al Qaeda’s central goal and amounts to trading certain econom ic insecurity for questionable homeland security.

A no-new-tax style War Economy and an overly accommodating fiscal policy have resulted in huge budget and trade deficits. These deficits have accumulated into an unsustainable national debt and an unsustainable balance of payments deficit, which when combined with an overly accommodating monetary policy unleashes “Weapons of Economic Destruction”. The high oil/gas prices, a high tolerance for China’s protectionist currency manipulation and the housing/financial crises are early effects of the resulting destruction and any reversal requires changing the unorthodox War Economy.

Anyone that Votes Republican must of been living under a rock for the past eight years! The USA is Anorexic and NO longer an Economic Power House as it was in the pre-bush days, due to the REPUBLICANs GROSS Misguidance and lack of wherewithall. Not to mention the lives lost for the BLOOD OIL! SHAME ON YOU W. not only did he ruin his country he ruined his ENTIRE party!

Numbers DONT LIE!

Only Rednecks, good ol boys and *self-hating black folk and spineless women are Republicans! Republicans DONT even want to be REPUBLICANs anymore, its like the scarlet letter.

*research why the republicn party was formed.

Ludicris is an artist and he makes his money playing with words creatively I’m sure none of his lyrics are true to life experiences, Even his name is a play on the word lu·di·crous (the definition is below)

In that case Ronald Regan was an Actor and most of his movies involved VIOLENCE and he was the President! It kills me how people living in GLASS houses love hurling boulders. Not one mention of Christophers philanthropic efforts. Just like a sneaky REPUBLICAN to distort the facts. THERE ARE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!

Ludacris’ lyrics sound just like a day in the life of EVERY politician! Maybe we should post the list of political sex scandals that’s as thick as an encyclopedia. Who names their kid Saxby any way, thats LUDICROUS?

Main Entry: lu·di·crous
Pronunciation: \ˈlü-də-krəs\ Function: adjective Etymology: Latin ludicrus, from ludus play, sport; perhaps akin to Greek loidoros abusive Date: 1712 1 : amusing or laughable through obvious absurdity, incongruity, exaggeration, or eccentricity 2 : meriting derisive laughter or scorn as absurdly inept, false, or foolish synonyms see laughable — lu·di·crous·ly adverb — lu·di·crous·ness noun

“The most fiscally irresponsible period in U.S history”. LMAO! I just read where Obama is going to spend another 700 Billion to help recover this economy. Now let me understand this, a hole has been dug (By the way it was the Democrats that brought the financial markets down), A hole has been dug and to get out of the hole Obama is going to dig a deeper hole. This sounds like real fiscal change to me. Create more debt to get us out of debt. This sounds like my blue state of Illinois. Lets tax our way out of debt. Lets take more money away from the people who make it and pass it around to our favorite groups so they can spend it to keep us in office. So what, that those who make the money have less to spend on things like housing, food, transportation you know those things that keep people working. Did I mention that Illinois is run top to bottom by Democrats and we are so in debt we cannot pay our bills on time and that unemployment is at 7.3 percent. So you folks in Georgia put another tax and spend Democrat in office and watch for that real change. Because after they get done change is all you will have in your pocket.

Why don’t you? Republican party was formed in 1854 as an ANTI-SLAVERY and modernization party. Not to say they are perfect or anywhere close, but let’s not lie about this. The Democrat party, albeit much different now, was the party that was FOR states’ rights and the continuation of slavery.

Try to avoid using stereotypes for supporters of political parties, and also keep in mind that most people are more likely to associate themselves as liberal or conservative, whilst having to choose between the lesser of two evils which are often somewhere in the fuzzy middle.

Quite right, Beowulf. The Democratic Party has indeed been wrong in the past. In fact, they were wrong every time they strayed from liberal positions on the issues.

Just as the Republicans are wrong now.

Copyleft,

What is the GOP wrong on? I don’t see that they have much of a unified position on anything, or stand for much anymore. I am libertarian, so on some issues I agree more with them then Dems, but neither satisfied me right now. Now if you say Bush is wrong, I can understand that (you being liberal obviously). All of Congress (for most part) is responsible for running up the debt and allowing corruption at multiple levels. But to blame just one party is naive, the opposing sides are supposed to keep each other in check, and in that they have ALL failed miserably. Which is why neither party should have the ability to silence their critics. period.

Gov’t spending is too high and needs to be cut. Hard to get thru when everyone looks to Uncle Sam to bail them out. Problem is that the gov’t does not have the money so it comes from us. At this point I just want SOMEONE to be fiscally responsible. Obama seems to be making positive overtures, but the verdict is still out. I don’t trust the Congress any further than I can throw them.

I voted today (Tues) for Saxby Chambliss. Certainly not because he is the best candidate, but rather to keep Democrat Jim Martin (The Crook) out of office. Neither of the two candidates are worth voting for, and both are in there just for themselves; Certainly not for you or me! Saxby is not for our troops nor our military, and I think that is a huge “put on” to get votes. I personally have written him approximately 3-40 letters/emails to ask him to go to our Senate and abolish the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act and he still continues to ignore the 220,000 active duty and retired military on this issue. What do you think of him now?

Roger D Smart, I went holding my nose while voting for Saxby too. I have not forgiven him for the bailout vote. I, too, have written many, many letters. His staff is not nice either. It only we had a good GOP choice like Isakson, or my representative Tom Price.

Art is art. Politics is politics.I did not hear Ludacris’ lyrics. I do not even know who is is other thhan he is a Rap Artist who is for Change. I listened to Rush Limbard twice, I bet most of you listen to Rush twice a day. I have never heard anyone nastier.

Chambliss or not, Obama’s Agenda will succeed.
