GAINESVILLE - Republican U.S. Senate candidate Johnny Isakson said Monday in Gainesville he wants a straight win, not a runoff in next Tuesday's primary.
The Sixth District Congressman found friendly ground when he called on Cottrell Incorporated, a Gainesville based vehicle transport equipment producer.
He spoke to plant workers and met with Cottrell executives.
Isakson said he's working just as hard as opponent Herman Cain for a winning vote next Tuesday.
Cain stopped in Clermont Saturday at the beginning of a state wide campaign swing and predicted he and Isakson would emerge from the July 20th Republican Primary in a runoff contest.
Without a doubt.
>To call these people "economic conservatives"--with the implication that they favor abortion-on-demand, as RINO Johnny Isakson does--is a lie,
Was not implying they favor abortion but they do not tend to be people who are one issue voters or put the subject high on their checklist.I think any opinion researcher in the state would agree with me.
You do your case no justice by continuing to push the lie that Isakson is for abortion on demand.It removes any moral ground from your argument and puts you on the same level as the secular crowd.If it were true I am sure the Christian coalition would not give him the rating they do and the former Ga. president of the organization would not have endorsed him.
Yes, but the senators from the individual states have to garner a majority, 2/3s, to pass legislation. That means they have to work together for common conservative goals. Hence why we need conservative senators from all states elected, not just GA. His interest is completely understandable.
I understand your analogy, Blessed, I just don't know why its different for Isakson than Cain.
So if Cain doesn't release any polls, it means he's behind, but if Isakson doesn't, it means he's ahead?
Johnny Isakson has always supported, and continues to support, keeping abortion legal.
Yet another lie! How many lies can get get onto one thread???
George W. Bush supports the Human Life Amendment to outlaw abortion. Johnny Isakson supports keeping abortion legal. Isakson has said he would not support a constitutional amendment to ban the procedure.
He's "personally opposed" to abortion -- similar to John Kerry and Bill Clinton -- but things it should be legal.
Isakson has voted against President Bush's Mexico City policy, which prohibits tax dollars from being used to fund groups that perform or promote abortions in other countries. He also voted in favor of using tax dollars to fund research on abortion drugs such as RU 486.
Your favorite paper (Cynthia's rag, the AJC) recently said of your boy, "In his 1990 bid for governor, Isakson angered anti-abortion Republicans by declaring
that he would veto any legislation that restricted access to abortion. .." This was the whole point of the abortion-rights campaign for the Senate that Johnny ran (and lost) in 1996. You, sir, are the liar--like your boy. (And you know good and well that Johnny bought the endorsements he's gotten from the "Christians." You probably delivered the check yourself.)
Bush's Position
McCAIN [to Bush]: Do you believe in the exemption, in the case of abortion, for rape, incest, and life of the mother?
BUSH: Yeah, I do.
McCain: [But you] support the pro-life plank [in the Republican Party platform]?
BUSH: I do.
McCAIN: So, in other words, your position is that you believe there’s an exemption for rape, incest and the life of the mother, but you want the platform that you’re supposed to be leading to have no exemption. Help me out there, will you?
BUSH: I will. The platform doesn’t talk about what specifically should be in the constitutional amendment. The platform speaks about a constitutional amendment. It doesn’t refer to how that constitutional amendment ought to be defined.

Isakson opposes abortion except in the case of Rape,incest or to protect the life of the mother.
Bush on RU486
Q: Would you try to overturn the FDA’s approval last week of the abortion pill RU-486?
BUSH: I don’t think a president can do that. I was disappointed in the ruling because I’m worried that that pill will cause more people to have abortions. As to the drug itself, I hope the FDA took its time to make sure that American women will be safe who use this drug.

Isakson's Position
Cosponsored legislation to suspend distribution of the RU486 abortion pill, pending a review (HR 3453)
The vote not to block funds for testing of RU486 was a show vote.It had been researched for 12 years and as Bush indicated the FDA had the right to make the decision.The Republicans did not even fight to keep the provision in the conference bill that passed for that reason.We now have a chance to get a review based on the fact the FDA ignored the research that you did not want funded.
Life is not a sound bite.You have to think occasionly.
Not in law, though. He is "personally opposed" -- as in, if he was pregnant, he wouldn't have an abortion, but if someone else was pregnant, well, that's their choice.
How many lies are you up to now? You seem to repeat some, which makes counting tricky. If we count the repeats you're up there in the teens just on this thread.
You have me a little confused.Is your position on Abortion based on any core belief or is it just a position like lower taxes?
Anybody who claims Johnny "Abortion Rights" Isakson and George W. Bush are on the same page is much more than a little confused--and seriously lacking in core beliefs. Which pretty much sums up your Rich Boy Candidate. (Johnny's next run should be for VP on the Dem ticket.)
Here is a list of his TV commercials. They began in February with "Starting Over".
Start Over
Pledge
Hollywood
Balanced Budget
I Believe
Wagon
Brown Eyes
But if you didn't see them they must not have existed.
Talking about running for governor and doing away with all of the passing lanes in the state?
"Can Cain win the general election?"
60 votes are needed to end a filibuster, not 67.
