I don’t know…

Saxby Chambliss voted for the $700 Billion Crap Sandwich. Why don’t he ask for a bailout himself?

Hey Erick. The UGA College Republicans and Law Republicans have and will come out to the phonebank to support Saxby.

Unfortunately I can’t afford to right now due to saving to pay my portion of the $700 billion Saxby voted for. When the seat is up again I’ll not only donate but volunteer for the conservative candidate.

Not as much as I’d like, but it’s important.

Not only is he a (usually) good conservative Senator, if he is the difference between the Democrats getting to 60 in the Senate, it will put the brakes on all sorts of liberal legislation.

That being said, I don’t want to rehash the actual merits of the financial bailout, but from a purely “realpolitik” perspective, it was absolutely idiotic for him to vote for that bailout.

If Coleman and Saxby lose their seats, it will be a direct result of their vote for the $700 billion dollar bailout. Had they voted against the bailout, they both would have comfortably won their seats, and we wouldn’t have to throw a few more million for all this nonsense.

I’m just amazed that none of their highly-paid political consultants had the intelligence to know you don’t support unpopular legislation like that if you’re going to have a tough reelection.

It would seem to me to be a no-brainer on how he should have voted. The bailout went against most conservative principles, and about 75% of Americans opposed it. It was also a bad year to be a Republican, and he had a tough race back home. I guess they don’t call us the Stupid Party for nothing.

Wish I could give more.

my money is going towards the military until the political season gets underway next year

I think that’s twice what I gave to my own Senator this year.

They clearly get it!

This is not about party purity. It’s about preventing a disaster of epic proportions.

Here is a little mental exercise. Senator Coburn (R-OK) is up for election. His Democratic opponent wants to raise taxes, vote for tons of pork projects, and nationalize health care, but he would vote against any business bailout especially for banks. Who is the fiscal conservative? Who would you vote for, Coburn or his opponent? Will you cut down the forest to save a single tree?

I nearly puked doing it but I sent it. If it weren’t for the need to keep the Dems under 60 I wouldn’t have sent him a dime and I would argue with others not too. But
Obama in charge with a filibuster proof
Congress at his beck and call scares the feces out of me.

I am not so sure that sending Saxby back to the Senate will ensure victory for Republican filibusters. After all there’s always Specter, Voinovich, the Maine sisters, McCain, etc., etc., who can be counted on to support the Democrats in our hour of need. What scares me the most are the 2010 elections. We will have 6-7 vulnerable R senators. If the Republican Party doesn’t get its act together, there is a distinct possibility that the D’s can get to a 2/3rds majority by 2010. Expect real disaster to ensue then.

I gave again…..its kind of fun….I feel pretty important this year supporting candidates even though I can count on one hand the number that actually succeeded….lol….

donating shows strength and loyalty and a can do attitude…..don’t sweat the minutia….we need a wall to fight from and the Senate is our wall….

I hope Chambliss wins only to avoid a 60 vote Senate In any other circumstance I would avaid him like the plague. He voted for the bailout, and he was a member of the “Gang of 20″ willing to sell our energe policy into liberal territory. Glad I won’t have to vote for him. We need another McCain like we need another Dole in the head.

Saxby is just the type of Republican (conservative only when fashionable) that put us in the wilderness…

He voted for the bailout (now that crap sandwich is getting even worse, -now that credit card companies are going to get money).

He was the lead Senator working hard to give us a ban on off shore drilling between 3 and 50 miles so his pet ethanol project could go forward.

It has been a long year, but wasn’t Saxby one of the pro-amnesty Senators???

Now conservatives are reduced to praying that a Senator, who will show us the middle finger when he wants, wins because he might filibuster. Pathetic!

I know the cost if he loses, -and I will vote for him in the run-off, but I am not giving him one thin dime.

I’m not so sure its a bad thing for the Dems to reach 60 in the Senate. With complete control of the WH and Congress they will have no where to hide and can be blamed for all the bad legislation they will produce over the coming years.They usually only want Republicans for political cover which is why they are afraid to move forward on the unpopular Auto bailout.They don’t want it to be a Democrat bill.Even with Chambliss we know some RINO will likely vote with the Dems in the “spirit of bipartisanship”. But if the Dems reach 60 they won’t need Republicans for anything and will have to stand and govern and face the consequences.

Republicans and the American people are going to learn that elections have consequences.Republicans were given complete control of the government and betrayed conservative principals in the “spirit of bipartisanship”.They got stabbed in the back by the Dems for their trouble. Let them show once again they are worthy of my trust and support. The American people voted for “hope and change” in the form of an unaccomplished corrupt empty suit. Let those who voted for Obama and the Dems reap what they’ve sown. I’m going to concentrate on surviving the coming four years. As far as I’m concerned Saxby Chambliss can fend for himself.

This post is about supporting a Republican against a far worse Democrat.

I don’t care that you don’t like Chambliss.

I don’t care that you disagree.

Back off in this thread. This isn’t a negotiation. You want to vent about Chambliss? Go do your own post.

With the “Fairness” Doctrine enacted the country won’t know the extent of the Democratic damage. Thus we can’t let them reach 60.

Even though Erick didn’t meet my funding challenge.

I suck as a negotiator.
