Chambliss had better hope Palin doesn't bring her slaughterhouse retinue to Georgia. Turkeys might be nothing compared to Chicken Hawks.

Google > New Dog in Senate < Saxby danced freestyle (on a football fantasy knee injury) @ live performances featuring James Brown & and The Supremes according to a classmate. How could this same "dancing" knee have exempted Senator Saxby from serving his country? I wonder if Saxby danced "The Chicken" a famous R&B dance on this very knee to James Brown before..... he bailed out from military service and became another distinguished US "Chicken Hawk" Senator?

Bush and Chambliss claim to be fiscal conservatives, but their reckless "free market" ideology is in large part responsible for the destruction of $10 trillion in the value of publicly traded companies. This has been devastating to American's savings. Chambliss still doesn't believe that greater regulation of hedge funds, commodities futures trading and derivative trading is necessary.
Chambliss claims to be a fiscal conservative, but he handed-over $700 billion to the most incompetent president in the history of our nation. He gave him this money with little or no accountability or oversight.
Chambliss claims to be a fiscal conservative, but he's been cheering for Bush's war in Iraq even as it has been clear that Bush has been incompetent in its handling. Consequently, Chambliss has wasted $10 billion per month for six years with no end in sight.
Chambliss claims to be a fiscal conservative, but he's supported Bush's irresponsible budgets and tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. His policies have led to the largest deficits and debt levels this country has ever seen.

That makes it sound like there will be something surprising in there.
How about this: While of draft age, Chambliss avoided military service with five student deferments and finally a medical deferment due to a football injury. (Jim Martin served a tour of duty in Vietman.)
Chambliss's ad against Max Cleland had Cleland's picture beside Osama bin Laden's. (As stated above, Cleland lost three limbs in the military.)

No congressman who supports amnesty for illegal aliens in any way, shape or form is on the side of the "working person." The illegals are bleeding the honest, patriotic taxpayers of America to death while turning our great country into a Third World garbage dump.
Want lower healthcare costs? End free healthcare for illegals, and end the birthright citizenship. I'm sick of paying for Mexican mothers to have their anchor babies in my state.
Want lower taxes? End paying for free education for the illegals.
Want safer streets? Deport the illegals and all the crime which they cause.
Let's say adios to the illegals once and for all. Don't let the Obama-Martin amnesty destroy our country!!!

WE HAVE MORE TO DO:
Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush's Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.
At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.
You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don't have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.
He supposedly works for you. But he doesn't think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn't that just make you BURRING MAD!
Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family's, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.
Don't let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He's not one of you. He is on George Bush's side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.
Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.
As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss "Let Them Eat Cake" vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don't have to be Saxby Chambliss's victims anymore.
I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.
God bless all of you
