All this is an endorsement of these two for their constituents. Who benefits? Their districts. Who gets more money? Their districts. Regardless of what people in the other 433 congressional districts believe, these reps are responsible for money and jobs in their districts.

If you want congressmen booted out, you need to show their districts why they should be booted, not why they should be kept.

Actually, Chambliss and Isakson are senators, not representatives.

I don't think they necessarily need to get booted. Both of them are fairly reliable conservative votes. But unfortunately they fit right in with their colleagues in the senate. There's a famous picture of the two of them yukking it up with Kennedy and Chertoff as they worked on the amnesty bill together several years ago. Chambliss loves pork. He did in the house and kept right on truckin when he moved up. Isakson let a reporter this week talk him into calling Governor Palin’s ‘death panel’ comment “nuts”. In 2008 Chambliss got what should have been a wake up call when a large chunk of his base voted 3rd party and he had to win a runoff. Isakson might need a reminder of that next year.
