Chambliss takes on Palin, commends Obama on health care reform

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.

Has anyone else ever noticed how Republicans always talk about being collegial, about Congress being “a family”? Did you also ever notice that “the family” to Democrats is the same thing as the syndicate? And that Democrats always want to rub-out Republicans...all the while Republicans keep thinking about what to bring at the next Congressional potluck picnic?

Democrats want to utterly destroy anything and everything Republican, and Republicans are more interested in being loved by their Democrat masters. Talk about the battered spouse syndrome!

The entrenched republicans are racing to see who can jump off the cliff first. My opinion of Chambliss has plummeted with this.

Has he read the bill?

I think the real question is "Can he read?".

Saxby has come out of the closet as a statist, no more pretending I guess.

Take the slap to Sarah Palin out of this for a moment. This is EXACTLY the problem we have with both Chambliss and Isakson. No matter the issue, they both trample on us - the people that got them elected - to suck up to the more powerful.

The best way to get back at Chambliss, is to take his BFF Isakson out of the Senate. If Herman Cain won’t do it, then we better find someone else who will STAT.

Thanks for the ping. Couldn’t agree more. If Herman Cain (or another conservative) is going to run, I wish they would announce. I’m ready to get to work.

Hey Chambliss, Bite me, you traitor.

Fellow Americans: Let us never again, let an elected official be in office for 50 years. 40 years. 30 years. 20 years. Like Kennedy, Byrd, McCain, Hatch, etc. We need to find a way to institute term limits because the Congress won’t.

This Putz Chambliss wouldn’t have been reelected if it were not for Sarah. These candidates that sound all conservative and run to the right for re-election, only to run back to the “family” need to be punished at the polls. Its time to break this family up. Thanks Chambliss but I didn’t need reminding. You’re just another example of a manipulating POS politician.

And I thought Chambliss was a rock solid conservative.

Add him to the pile of garbage with McCain, Graham, etc.
