I wholly believe this, especially for my two Georgia Senators, Chambliss and Isakson.
Both of these two RINO traitors tried to spout off early on in 2007 how we had to do something about illegal immigration reform and they were gangbusters to sign onto the Bush/McCain Amnesty Program. They got bitch slapped back into reality by us real quick like. But this episode confirmed something for me. These guys don’t really give a crap about me, or Georgians, really. They care about their power and status and hanging with the ‘cool’ guys up in DC.
They changed their tunes that one time, but I’ve never thought they changed their hearts.
Both of these SOBs will vote for cloture in the upcoming Obamacare/CR bill which will allow that bill to proceed with just a plurality vote, after Harry Reid conveniently allows just ONE amendment - to strip out Obamacare defunding.
They’ll then send out their emails and letters “We tried - we voted for the bill...blah blah blah...” “We’re really conservatives...” Just like they’ve done with nearly every other parliamentary trick votes in the past.
I sent both an email that we here are wise to their tricks and that anything other than a NO vote on cloture is treason against us.
I know Chambliss is leaving, but I’ll sure as hell not vote for anyone he or the Georgia GOP endorses for his replacement, likewise for Isakson...he’s outta there. I’ll get him in the primary, or in the General Election if I have to. At least an outright declared enemy is better than one in the trenches with you.
As for possible replacements, I think I’m gonna go like someone in the Georgia forum said...stay away from any old white good ole boy...I’ll be looking for someone younger - a Turk with a burn in his/her belly to go up there and make some damned trouble in that Senate along with Cruz. So as it is now, I’m not endeared of any of the potential candidates thus far, especially the current crop of House minors who want to go up to the Senate Majors....
And Chambliss will show his true colors in this vote as well. Since he is stepping down, he has zero to gain politically by voting for cloture. So if he does vote that way, it will show that his allegiance resides with his fellow Senate Club Members and not with the state of Georgia which he is paid to represent.
Look closely at the candidates and consider ones that show true outsider credentials ala Palin or Cruz or even Rand Paul.
Didnt two of them vote for the Senate state internet sales tax enforcement bill, called Market-place-Fairness Act?
That one really peed me off.
Neither danced with the ones that brought them. Saxby turned his back on those who sent him as soon as the votes were tallied.
Oh for the days of Coverdell and even Zell Miller.
Never liked Zell as Gov, but as Senator, he served us well.
