Saxby Chambliss Just Lost My Vote

I used to take pride in the fact Saxby Chambliss was my senator. So much for backbone.

Delegates to the state Republican convention unleashed a rare chorus of boos and hisses at U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss on Saturday, as he spoke up for a bipartisan immigration reform package unveiled in Washington this week.

Hear it for yourself by clicking here.

Chambliss had just finished emphasizing his devotion to border security provisions contained in the measure, and brought up agriculture’s need for temporary, foreign workers.

“We’ve got to face the fact that we’ve got to create a new, truly temporary worker program” — the boos started here, but Chambliss plowed on — “for that segment of our economy that need temporary workers.

“If we don’t have a meaningful, workable program, we’ll simply be dependent on foreign imports for food products, the way we’re dependent on foreign imports for oil products,” Chambliss said, finishing his thought.

That's bullshit. Plain and simple. If we don't have a meaningful, workable Congress, we'll simply be dependent forever.

I usually don't pull support for a politician based on one issue, but this, to me, is the biggest issue we are facing, and this compromise is utter bullshit for everyone, including immigrants wishing to come to our country.

Also, when was the last time Mr. Chambliss went to the local grocery store? I've seen plums from Chile and "California" style avodacos from Mexico. The current amnesty bill will do nothing to change that. So wise up Chambliss. You were elected for a reason. You can be defeated for the same reason.
