AUGUSTA,Ga---Dozens gathered at the Augusta Museum of History for a chamber of commerce forum on health care reform with Senator Saxby Chambliss. Chambliss attempted to set the record straight on what he calls misinformation.
"Say goodbye," said Susan Swanson who is fed up with Washington lawmakers. "Kick out the bums. Kick them all out."
She fears talk of health care reform.
"My concern is all this talk about death panels," said Susan. "All the bureaucracy that people have to go through."
The death panel rumors were given credence by Sarah Palin who campaigned with Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss in Augusta back in November. Chambliss is looking to distance himself from Palin on his latest trip to Augusta.
"I don't agree with her that there will be death panels created by any of the plans that are out there," said Chambliss.
Susan doesn't know who to believe.
"It's not Washington," said Susan. "I don't believe Washington."
"I commend the president for spending political capital to bring this issue to the forefront," said Chambliss. "We've talked about reforming health care for years, but we've never gotten around to it."
Chambliss reached across the aisle as Senator Ted Kennedy, a champion for health care reform, loses his battle to cancer.
"The Senate is a family," said Chambliss. "We are all good friends within the Senate, and Senator Kennedy was a great legislator."
But nice gestures won't ease Susan's concerns about Washington.
"We're not going to give up our freedom of good health care to make them happy," said Susan.
Senator Chambliss says he would like to see the government provide tax credits. He says he could not support the current house bill that would pay for reform by possibly taxing the rich.
Susan has a hell of a lot more common sense then the Senator.
And that, folks, describes one of the biggest problems with Congress.
Chambliss got scared when he nearly lost the election and had to have a run-off. So he started acting Conservative. But truth will out and he’s back to being a RINO.
Has he read the bill?
That’s the question. How can he answer if he’s never READ the bill?
I’ll be asking on Sept 10 and 11 when I hand out Pink Slips.
I've had it with the pleasantries. The United States is being destroyed by statists and the GOP is talking about being nice.
Chambliss ... commends Obama on health care reform”
Blackmail?
"Lie after lie after lie..."
Wasn't Chambliss the Senator who went on Limbaugh's show to explain why he sided with the Democrats on their plan for offshore drilling after Gingrich created some momentum with his "Drill here! Drill now!" argument during the high oil prices?

“The Senate is a family,”
There’s the problem.
So Sarah basically gets this chump re-elected and now he has the nerve to ‘distance’ himself from Palin and the obvious truth in the bill? Saxby, you are dead to me. I hope Sarah never campaigns for you again.
Saxby Senator from Io
And Chambliss is just fine with sitting at the childrens' table.
APf
Yeah and incest is their favorite sport. Ask McCain.
Senator Chambliss, you are a traitorous, back-stabbing creep! HOW DARE you attack the one who campaigned for you!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGH!!!!!! THIS TICKS ME OFF!!!!!!!!! I hope Sarah NEVER ever campaigns for you again, you ungrateful snob!
RINO Pig!
In a nutshell.
Wasn’t this guy a Republican once?/s
My wife vowed to never vote for him again after he and Isakson were shown yukkin’ it up with Kennedy and Chertoff on their little immigration reform debacle.
It’s time for the voters to send Saxby packing. He’s been in the District of Corruption too long. He has lost touch with America.
