Saxby Chambliss is up to his same old bullshit in GA.

[Barack_America]

Chambliss has just released two new attack ads, claiming that Jim Martin, his Democratic rival, is responsible for the deaths of foster children. Martin has responded, calling these ads, "just plain offensive".

Let's never forget what Chambliss did to Max Cleland.

The good news? Jim Martin is only 2 points behind Saxby Chambliss in GA. Unfortunately, that means he's down a point from the previous RS2000 poll.

Also, Chambliss is currently outspending Martin on TV ads.

The bottom line? Jim Martin can use our help. Saxby Chambliss, like Michelle Bachmann, epitomizes the GOP scum that needs to get their asses handed to them this election.

1. A new project everyday on DU!

We can make a huge difference. I'm going to donate to Martin now. Thanks!

[Barack_America]

3. "Governor fires Martin after children die"...

That's what the ad shows over Martin's face.

Appalling.

Thanks for your support! I already got to vote to get rid of Santorum. Donating to get rid of Chambliss feels almost as good!

4. Martin's response to the attacks

Martin Responds: "I've Spent My Whole Life Fighting for Kids, Which Is a Lot Different from What Saxby Has Done."

Here's his press release:

ATLANTA - Little more than a day after incumbent Senator Saxby Chambliss launched an advertising smear campaign against him, Senate candidate Jim Martin responded with his own ad. The commerical, which began running Thursday, turns the tables on Chambliss and reminds voters of the real difference between the candidates.
"For Saxby Chambliss to suggest I was insensitive to the loss of a child," says Martin in the ad, "well, that's just plain offensive. I've spent my whole life fighting for kids, which is a lot different from what Saxby has done. While he was giving tax breaks to Wall Street, I was working to make sure every child in Georgia has health care.
"I approved this message, because the real difference in this race: Saxby Chambliss supports George Bush economics, and I think we need to make the economy work for the middle class again."
Martin built a reputation as a leading advocate for children over his 18-year tenure in the state legislature and his service as Commissioner of Georgia's Department of Human Resources. Martin has been the recipient of numerous awards for his work including the 1994 Georgians for Children "Children's Champion Award", the 1997 Parent to Parent of Georgia "Legislative Service Award", and a recognition of outstanding service in 2002 from the Adoptive and Foster Parents Association of Georgia.

This is one of those key races that could put us at the magic # 60!!!

7. It's a good response. But, my God, Chambliss is a nasty piece of work.

I really hope Martin can pull it off.

2. I've been donating to Martin's campaign for the past month.

My most recent donation was Friday.

5. thank you DUers! Get shameless out of office here!

this guy is so sickening and I might add, he is the one who "won" by cheating. This is the guy who Max was beating in polls by a few points and ee whiz, shocker, the SOS had an aid who blew the whistle on the Diebold machines that had a device attached to them AFTER they were "certified". This aid sent the info to Spoonamoore, a world expert in computer security who works for the GOP and is a Republican.

He found evidence of vote tampering.

You can see his videos on Youtube-- there is a series.

Help us have justice here. We are also dealing with the Troy Davis execution which is another long, sad story of injustice. More can be found in the GA section of DU on this case or Amnesty International.

Thanks everyone

Look what we did for MN last night!!!! whooo hooooo!

6. Chambliss is the most loathsome man in Georgia...and that takes...

[TuxedoKat]

8. I donated to him on Sept. 30, but I will donate again this weekend.

Anything to help get these creeps out of office.
