This is glorious! I was so ticked last night that Chamblis wasn’t heading to a runoff. I cast my vote for the lib. to uphold a promise I made to Saxby back when he stated: “let me educate you on immigration”... I was considering going back on my promise, but then Saxby ignored the voices of constituants state-wide when he signed on to Bush’s bail out bill.
Saxby is one of the biggest Bush kool-aid lackey’s in the senate.
I hope that this does go to run-off. He needs to receive this message loud and clear.
Oh, and for all of you other conservatives across the country railing against GA for not voting Saxby back in, get off your high horses. ‘NIMBY’ is what Saxby is facing right now. He can take his blind Bush worship with him somewhere else, but NOT IN MY BACK YARD.
Looks like 60 DEM seats is out of reach anyway, so I might just get some popcorn instead of voting for Saxby Dec 2nd. The GOP fear machine isn’t enough to persuade me. Sometimes people just need to find something else to do with their lives outside of politics.
Yeah, and he'll have 6 years to forget all about it. He should have been seriously challenged in the primaries. That might have gotten his attention. If he's sent back to the Senate, everything about last night's results will be forgotten and cast aside...
You sound like a lot of posters here in 2006. “Teach them a lesson!” blah blah blah. Well, I guess we really showed ‘em, huh? McCain wasn’t my first choice either and he would have driven me crazy had he won but I voted for him b/c I value Republican ideals. Staying home or voting for the Dem in the race doesn’t do us any good.
You feel safe gloating now b/c they didn’t get 60 seats but suppose the GA seat had been the difference? You had no way of knowing that yesterday.
I think it is ridiculous when our side picks an issue and “stands on principle”. Well, stand all you like but if all our voters sit home and pout, we will be routed even more the next time. These elections have huge consequences that effect our daily lives and future generations.
Oh and by the way, welcome to Free Republic, newbie.
