What Was Georgia Thinking?

Georgia had a chance to be great, not just a punchline to a Southern joke. To be a place America could be proud of again. They could have guaranteed the message and agenda of change from Obama, Democrats, and all worker of good got through Congress.

Instead they picked evil, and the politics of hate, bigotry, and fear. They re-elected one of the most conservative people to the Senate. They also gave the Republicans momentum heading into the 2010 mid - term elections.

Dishonable Senator Saxby Chambliss (pictured above left) will spend the next 6 years fighting the progress America wants. He'll push for the failed policies of Bush and the far right wing of the Republican Party. He is a puppet for the KKK, White Pride, NRA, and other hate groups.

On Politico.com,"Chambliss defeated Martin by 16 percentage points, 58 to 42 percent, with 93 percent of precincts reporting. Turnout was moderate across the state– estimated to be around 30-35 percent – a development that unexpectedly played to Chambliss’ advantage.

The runoff was necessitated after Chambliss came up about 9,000 votes short of the 50 percent threshold necessary to win the seat outright on Election Night.

In his victory speech, Chambliss said his re-election was a triumph of conservative principles.

“This race has been nationalized and people all around the world had their eyes on Georgia. And you delivered tonight a strong message to the world that conservative Georgia values matter,” he said.

RNC Chairman Mike Duncan, who stood by Chambliss as he gave his victory speech, echoed those remarks. “As we head into the 2010 cycle, tonight’s result sends a strong and confident message to those committed to electing candidates who stand by the core principles upon which our Party was founded,” he said in a statement. "

What core principles? Would that be wasting lives of the Troops for Halburtion profit,Stealing elections, Torture, War Crimes, Denying Human and Civil Rights to certain people, or destroying the economy!

I'm beginning to understand why the Republicans are red states, it is for all the blood on their hands. it makes you wonder if they have ever read or understood the Consistution that governs this nation.

Now this is the south so it not that unexpected, but the shock came as the nation was coming off the historic election of Barack Obama as President. I don't see why Obama didn't campaign on behalf of the Democrat, Jim Martin. Cutting a radio spot and auto -dialer message was not going to cut it.

In most counties within Georgia it legal to marry your first cousin, and one of the favorite pass times is to play dress -up as civil war reenactor. Although, they still can't figure out why they still lose everytime.

Any wonder why places like Georgia are known by the educated to be "flyover country".
