The Angry Left’s dream stops here
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Looks like Georgia’s the key now to whether Democrats have a full, unchecked run in Washington.
Al Franken’s finding votes in Minnesota. Democrats have gained six already in the Senate, pushing them to 57. Saxby Chambliss is just under 50, thanks to Republicans who thought it necessary to send him a message on spending and on untimely bipartisanship.
State Sen. President Pro Tem Eric Johnson of Savannah defines the stakes. Writes Johnson:
“Saxby Chambliss’ re-election is critical if we want to have hope that the U.S. Senate can block the redistribution of wealth and the dismantling of our military that will be attempted by the next Congress. The Democrats now have 57 seats — 3 short of the 60 required to break a filibuster. They can usually count on 2 moderate Republicans so Saxby could literally be our last hope.” He continues:
“This is not the last election of the 2008 cycle — consider this is the first race of the 2010 cycle where we begin to claw our way back into power with solid principles and integrity. This is Georgia, by God, and we must draw a line in the sand. We will pick our Senators — not Hollywood, Wall Street, the New York Times, or MoveOn.org.”
The runoff’s Dec. 2. The only message to be sent now is that the agenda of the Angry Left, Big Labor and the tax and spending proposals of President-elect Barack Obama sorely need to be checked.
I’m on vacation now but will be back in plenty of time to vote for Chambliss on Dec. 2. If you sat out the General Election, you can still vote in the runoff.
