GEORGIA .. THE VOTERS GET TO DECIDE THIS ONE

All eyes on Georgia tomorrow.  There is one more election where the voters still have an actual say ... and that would be right here.  Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss is facing Democrat Jim Martin in a runoff.  The vote is tomorrow; and it's all about turnout.

Yeah, I know.  They're still counting votes in Minnesota, and Norm Coleman may still prevail against Democrat funny guy Al Franken.  But this one is in the hands of the politicians, lawyers and judges.  Georgia is in the hands of the voters - it this may be the last stand before a 60-vote filibuster proof Democrat majority in the Senate. 

There is voter anger against Chambliss in Georgia.  This I understand.  Saxby's vote in favor of the bailout bill has a lot of people fuming .. but there's a lot of second-guessing here.  We now know that that the $700 billion bailout essentially amounts to a slush fund .. and hundreds of billions may be saved for Obama to spend.  This is not what the people wanted and not what the Republicans in the Senate voted for.  But now it is what it is, and letting the Democrats have their 60 seats isn't going to change anything.  This is about votes to come.  Votes to raise taxes, votes to redistribute wealth, votes to expand the power of government, votes to confirm anti-Constitutional Supreme Court justices and to pass the unionization-by-intimidation bill.  In a worse-case scenario this election tomorrow in Georgia could be about votes on whether or not the government will seize all or a portion of our 401Ks and pension plans, and a vote on whether or not to remove the cap on Social Security taxes.  Would you like to see means-testing for your Social Security benefits?  Would you like for the government to come to you when you reach retirement age and tell you that you have simply been too successful to collect your Social Security -- that the money is needed for people who didn't work quite so hard?

It's all about turnout.  The polls show it too close to call.  You can bet that those who vote for a living will be at the polls.  The unions will be sending their vans out, driven by union volunteers, to collect as many Democrat voters and deliver them to the polls as possible.  Hey ... they have the card check bill to protect.  Churchgoers across Atlanta were admonished to go to the polls and vote for Martin on Tuesday.  The Democrats are running ads of Saxby Chambliss pictured next to a multi-million dollar yacht cursing the seas - the wealth envy card being played to the hilt.  Those with no job - those who vote for their living - will have no trouble leaving work (yeah, right) to vote.  Will you? 


THIS COULD PUSH THE DEMOCRATS OVER THE EDGE

Check this out. Click here and take a look at this one ballot in Minnesota. Minnesota, in case you don't know, is where the Democrats are busy stealing a Senate seat. Just 150 or so votes separate the incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and ultra-leftist Democrat Al Franken. Al Franken is actually taking this one particular ballot to the courts saying that the voter was obviously voting against Norm Coleman. Again ...just look at the ballot to get a clear idea what is going on here.

Are we going to allow the Democrats to use tactics like this to get their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate? Well, that depends on the voters in Georgia. On December 2nd Georgia voters can prevent that 60-vote majority, no matter what Al Franken manages to pull off in Minnesota. The Minnesota Senate race will be determined by politicians ... the Georgia Senate runoff between Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Democrat Jim Martin will be decided by the voters ... and it's all going to rest on just who heads to the polls.

There is going to be much gnashing of teeth of the last roadblock - the possibility of a Republican filibuster - is removed from the path of Obama, Pelosi and Reid. There is absolutely nothing in Martin's past that indicates he would be anything other than Obama's dog washer and Reid's sock puppet in Washington.

Weeks ago I was saying that the political focus was going to be on Georgia after the general election. Finally I get something right. We need something to slow down the big-government goals of the Democrats. Georgia voters are that something.

Well, for better or for worse, the Boortz Show really has to be on its game the next couple of weeks ... just when I'm feeling a bit lazy. (So, what else is new?) The nation will be tuning in to see Georgians Saxby Chambliss and that anti-FairTax liar Jim Martin battle it out for the Senate. We still have one county counting its votes, but it looks like it's going to be a runoff to be held December 2nd. Yesterday CNN was reporting that Chambliss had the 50%. Finally, when it came down to it, Chambliss missed it by 0.1% ... he ended up with 49.9% when he needed to get 50% of the popular vote.

The good news is that with Alan Buckley (also an anti-FairTax candidate) out of the race, we will have to see how many of those Libertarians will defect to the Republicans versus the Democrats.

We'll see if Jim Martin has the onions to abandon this "Saxby Chambliss will add 23% to the price of everything that you buy" line and campaign on the truth. This is one of the big problems with the FairTax, it is easy to demagogue. Martin proved that in this Senate race. Let's see how many informed voters there are out there.


AT LEAST GEORGIA GOT IT RIGHT

It appears that Saxby Chambliss got his majority over that anti-FairTax liar Jim Martin. This is one victory I am really glad the Democrats cannot claim today. Imagine how much damage could have been done with this Jim Martin adding to their 57+ Democrat majority.
