"We're not going to give up our freedom of good health care to make them happy," said Susan

Susan has a hell of a lot more common sense then the Senator.

"The Senate is a family," said Chambliss. "We are all good friends within the Senate, and Senator Kennedy was a great legislator."

And that, folks, describes one of the biggest problems with Congress.

[HighlyOpinionated]

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.

"The Senate is a family," said Chambliss. "We are all good friends within the Senate, and Senator Kennedy was a great legislator."

I've had it with the pleasantries. The United States is being destroyed by statists and the GOP is talking about being nice.

"The Senate is a family," said Chambliss. "We are all good friends within the Senate, and Senator Kennedy was a great legislator."

"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.

"The Senate is a family," said Chambliss. "We are all good friends within the Senate, and Senator Kennedy was a great legislator."

And Chambliss is just fine with sitting at the childrens' table.

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!

[Pan_Yan]

Chambliss does not need to play to the middle to win re election as a Republican in Georgia. It should be one of the safest and most conservative seats in the senate. Unfortunately, he went completely native while in the house and now that he's a senator he can't even fake it. He didn't get the wake up call when conservatives defected to third party last year and he had to win a run off election against an unknown ‘also ran’ democrat. He sure a heck liked having Palin campaigning for him then.

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.

[kempo]

Has this guy been living in a cave with no communications with out side world or is he really this stupid?

[Gritty]

"The Senate is a crime family," said Chambliss.

There. I fixed it.

[papasmurf]

You back stabbin’ SOB. Why don’t you do us all a favor and go “Spector” on us now?

[snuffy smiff]

Chambliss and the others who are part of this biggest expansion of government power in the history of the Republic must be reminded of their Constitutional duty.

America's Founders and Framers of our Constitution had seen tyranny. They wished to limit their government's power through a "people's" Constitution, and they published and circulated 85 essays, known as THE FEDERALIST in order to convince the citizenry to ratify their new document.

Now it's time for citizens, once again, to examine those strong and clear words of Madison Hamilton, and Jay. They are just as clear for today's audience as they were then.

Circulate the following excerpts to your friends. Even the least politically savvy will "get" Madison's meaning, especially in light of the power grab now going on in Washington. After all, THE FEDERALIST was the Framers' authoritative explanation of their Constitution, and directed by the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia in 1825 to be used as the text for its law school in its studies of "the general principles of liberty and the rights of man," and said by Jefferson to "constitute 'the general opinion of those who framed, and of those who accepted the Constitution of the U.S., on questions as to its genuine meaning.'":

"The house of representatives... can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interest, and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788

"The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788

"Such will be the relation between the House of Representatives and their constituents. Duty gratitude, interest, ambition itself, are the cords by which they will be bound to fidelity and sympathy with the great mass of the people." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788

"If it be asked what is to restrain the House of Representatives from making legal discriminations in favor of themselves and a particular class of the society? I answer, the genius of the whole system, the nature of just and constitutional laws, and above all the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America, a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788

"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." - Federalist Papers, No. 58, 1788

"This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure." - Federalist Papers, No. 58, 1788

"The propensity of all single and numerous assemblies (is) to yield to the impulse of sudden and violent passions, and to be seduced by factious leaders into intemperate and pernicious resolutions." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788

"Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue; or in any manner affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change and can trace its consequences; a harvest reared not by themselves but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the few not for the many." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788

Note particularly the following words of wisdom from Federalist No. 63, and take heart.   According to Madison:

"As the cool and deliberate sense of the community ought, in all governments, and actually will, in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of its rulers; so there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be the most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career, and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice, and truth can regain their authority over the public mind?" - Federalist Papers, No. 63, 1788
