Just as important as term limits would be a constitutional amendment barring Congressmen and Senators from drawing government pensions.

Incoherent and economically illiterate c lass warfare rubbish.

Getting rid of the bum is the big challenge for us Georgia voters. Chambliss is not better than his possible opponents in the Republican party. He got in the Senate because his funding was ample and his Democrat rival for the seat was a dyed in the wool Liberal. Even Gingrich would be better although Handel and Price would be far better thasn Gingrich. My own favorite, Jack Kingston, does not look like a plausible contender.

No. Let's not join Obama in raising taxes. The Republicans should simply vote present when it comes to a vote. Not obstructing, not approval and definitely not a compromise. Introduce and pass measures to cut spending in the House--ethanol subsidies, corporate welfare, privatization of the Postal Service and Amtrak, abolition of of the Departments of Agriculture, Labor, Energy and Education.

Before the partition of 1948 the Jews were the Palestinians. The Arabs had no special namew for themselves. They certainly did not call themselves Palestinians. Zionists missed a good bet by calling their new state Israel instead of Palestine. I can just see Arafat calling for the destruction of Palestine and its replacement by the Arab Republic of Israel.

The pledge is actually a powerful negotiating tool. Anyone who has ever had a job negotiating business or political deals would know that. Repudiating the pledge is just plain stupid, but then both Graham and Chambliss are dummies. Asa Georgfia voter I hope we can deprive Chambliss of re-nomination got his Senate post. He is a miserable RINO and not a conservative in any meaningful sense of the word.

That ain't how it works, Jack. They will find ways to avoid the higher tax rate. Tax-free municipal bonds. Off shore banking. Gold, silver and other commodities. And, if it gets bad enough, emigration to tax-friendlier climes.

China? Hong Kong and Singapore maybe. China no.

The wealthy will not pay more in taxes. They can and will hire the expertise to avoid taxation.

Yup. Nothing like making a cave-in proposalto get the Dems all hot and bothered.

gtanv's comments are not cogent. The liberals will offer spending cuts years in the future for tax hikes today--a deal they will never honor. There is no need to offer anything to Obama and his mob. Spending bills must originate in the House. Just appropriate less money and if the Senate does not concur, then we will have a real crisis, one Conservatives can use to get some spending cuts--ethanol subsidy? corporate welfare? foreign aid? All of these are possibilities. It would help if we could dump wimps like Mc Cain, Graham and Chambliss at the next opportunity.
