DEL.ICIO.USSadie Fields on stimulus plan: No how, no way
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Earlier this week, U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson made something of a local splash, lobbying for an expansion of tax credits for home purchases as part of President Obama’s stimulus package.
Isakson didn’t commit to it, but he held out the possibility of supporting it. He has terms that need to be met — the first being the home purchase credit, to start rebuilding the nation’s housing industry.
But last night, Sadie Fields of the influential Georgia Christian Alliance sent a message to followers, basically declaring that no terms would be acceptable:
Please contact Senators Isakson and Chambliss and ask them to vote against any version of this bill. Conservative principles do not change based on the language of a bill. What Bush did - and Obama is trying to expand upon - is nothing less than a government out of control - taking over the economy - then it is Katy bar the door.
“Once the government controls the economic well-being of the people the will to resist other government controls wanes. To whatever extent the state controls our economy ultimately directs every other aspect of our lives as well.”
It’s not an easy time to be a Republican.

Why is Sadie even mentioned in a major newspaper? She has nil credibility.
