1. Yea, well I sent a latter to Chambliss AGAIN complaining about his

vote on the war escalation, but I doubt it made any difference to him. Icontact him all the damn time, and when he responds, he either answers a question I didn't ask, or defends Shrub asbeing GREAT! Ohhh, I so hope Ga. can find a GREAT Dem. to run this AH out of office!

2. Same is true of Liddy Dole

If she had a brain, she wouldn't know how to use it. Such a sorry waste of taxpayer's money. I do so hope she can be defeated in '08.

3. At least with Liddy, there's rumors that she may retire!

I don't have that positive outlook with Saxby!

4. She announced yesterday that she is running again. n/t

5. OH! Sorry. I hadn't heard that. Well, find a Dem who can

speak clearly to run against her. All they would have to do is point out the constant contradictions she makes!
