Max Cleland's Chance for Revenge
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/don-mcnay/max-clelands-chance-for-r_b_142365.html

"Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats"

-Carrie Underwood

It's certain now. Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss did not get a majority for re-election.
If he wants to hold on to his Senate seat, he will have to defeat challenger Jim Martin in a run off election on December 2.

It will be a day for patriotic Americans to even the score. Chambliss does not deserve to sit in the United States Senate.

The Senate seat previously belonged to Max Cleland. Six years ago, Chambliss got in the gutter to steal it from him.

2. Defeating Saxby would be the greatest thing to happen in Ga. for
a LONG TIME! I already requested my absentee ballot, and I'm going to do everything in my power to get voters out for Martin!

3. In 2002 Chambliss ran what was called "the most offensive campaign in history"
portraying Cleland as a traitor to his country. Cleland is a true war hero, like Kerry, who was essentially 'swiftboated' by complete lies. Get that racist bastard out of there, I beg you Georgia!

12. Speaking of those two heros - here's a link to a video of them in MA
with veterans before the last election - what is clear is how close and deep their friendship is.

4. How well we remember the pictures of Max and bin Laden together.
How about we run a picture of Saxby, my asshole, and Ralph Reed all mixed up together?

13. How 'bout we run a picture of Saxby, Ralphie and Jackoff Abramoff?
After all, they do belong together--preferably in a federal prison.

6. Alaska & Georgia, at the most opposite ends geographically but both the most corrupt voting
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 05:16 PM by GreenTea
states in the whole country......Florida & Ohio take a close back seat, but easily second place to Alaska & Georgia.

Alaska & Georgia, both with white, hick republicans, each of a different kind, republicans run those states, control the voting, as the republicans steal election after election by electronic vote flipping, hiding voters ballots and the purging of Dem voters....Doing it so outrageously & arrogantly as to say, Fuck You to the rest of the country, these are our states to cheat in, now mind your own damn business!

All of which is now being a tiny bit exposed for all to see...However, it goes so much deeper than we are seeing in both Alaska & Georgia....I truly hope it's uncovered completely!

10. good news -- Newt Gingrich's county is PURPLE now
We sent a Democratic representative to the State House. Considering how foaming at the mouth most of the republicans are here -- that's a BIG deal.

Now we NEED to get rid of Saxby.

8. turn the tables on him
Run that ad the Iraq vets made showing the difference between the inadequate body armor issued to our troops and the improved body armor Chambliss and other republicans voted to deny our troops. One doesn't stop AK-47 bullets and the other does. By denying our troops life saving body armor, Chambliss is aiding our enemies! Suggest he's the terrorist! It's a low tactic, but it's grounded in more truth than any filthy ads Chambliss will run. I think Martin needs to get very aggressive with the negative campaigning.

9. it's NOT A LOW TACTIC to show the truth. No need to call him a terrorist. Just show the video.
Let the voters decide.

17. I hope the Dems dig up all the nastiness of the
campaign against Cleland. Do you want someone who treated a veteran in the Senate?

20. I repeat - what may have been one of my most inspired moments here on DU
As McGramps was speaking at his big "convention" (see hatefest) I wrote THIS.

Yeah, I said it.
