GA Senate TV Ad: ‘Radical’ Obama ‘Just One Vote Away from Total Control’

The National Republican Trust is back with a 30-second TV ad called "Just One Vote Away."

The script: "Barrack Obama’s just one Senate vote away from total control. He’ll give 12 million illegal aliens citizenship, Social Security, even driver’s licenses. Don’t believe it?  Just ask him. (Obama:) ‘We need to offer those who are willing to make amends a pathway to citizenship.’ And he’ll pay for it by crushing new taxes. A vote for Jim Martin is a vote for Obama’s radical agenda. Say no to Jim Martin and stop Barrack Obama."

Left unsaid in this: incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Georgia, was one of the Senate Republicans who brokered an immigration reform bill that would also make a pathway to citizenship for those illegal immigrants willing to make amends.

Don’t these people ever learn? They really do drive [neutral] people to the democrats. I wonder if they know that. Somebody should really tell them. I guess here is a party vowing to never win the White House.

In the interests of accuracy, you’d think they could at least spell “Barack” correctly.

One more thing…Despite millions spent in Georgia by Barak Obama to turn Georgia blue, and despite the record black turnout, McCain scored a solid victory. The Dems can forget about this one.

I agree that by rewarding this criminal migration of lawless people is good way to never lose control of this new third world society we once called America.

Obama is a radical like Max Cleland is un-American. Time for the good people of Georgia to say So Long to Saxby.
It’s fitting that this election cycle should end with the drubbing of one of the GOP’s most vile smear artists.

Fellow Georgians, when you go to vote on Tuesday, think of whether or not you support and respect your military personnel. Then, remember that Jim Martin served honorably in viet nam, Saxby got a deferrment. Then remember the vial ads trying to link Max with Osama and other terroists, that Saxby ran against Max Cleland, another honorable military vet that lost his limbs in v.n.in the last election, Who do you want representing you in Washington.

That’s one of the worst ads I’ve seen – the clip they show of Obama makes hims look, well, resonable, rational, and right . . . and isn’t he TWO votes away from full control??? Or are they assuming that Minnesota is a done deal for Franken? Bad Republicans!

Posted by: Chloe | November 26, 2008, 8:26 pm 8:26 pm

What’s scary is the lack of republican morals or ethics, without their lies and distortions, they have nothing. Chambliss demonstrated how vile and contemptible he could be against Max Cleland, there’s nothing new here, just more Chambliss filth.

WE HAVE MORE TO DO:
Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush’s Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.
At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.
You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don’t have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.
He supposedly works for you. But he doesn’t think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn’t that just make you BURRING MAD!
Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family’s, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.
Don’t let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He’s not one of you. He is on George Bush’s side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.
Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.
As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss “Let Them Eat Cake” vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don’t have to be Saxby Chambliss’s victims anymore.
I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.
God bless all of you

dear Cy,
we do understand Georgian politics. We are just wondering if the Rs understand American politics. You are right, he will probably win easily. But the South will be the only place Rs will be winning from now on if they keep it up. And Cy, Obama just stopped short of spending the amount of money it would have taken to win GA and STILL Rs didn’t win handedly. I believe the margin of win in GA was actually smaller than it was in VA. Just a thought. Also the AA turnout wasn’t that spectacularly high.

Yeah, yeah, Republicans, we are in such a deep hole we should allow you to continue filibustering every bill, so in the end NOTHING gets done.
The only thing radical about Obama that we will have an intelligent and pragmatic president for the first time in eight years.
Georgia? Sure, Obama didn’t win it, but Georgia was NOT supposed to even be within a few points for the Democrats. It’s supposed to be deep red, Republican Deep South territory.
And let’s remember Obama carried Virginia, North Carolina and Indiana- and nearly won Missouri. The Republicans had better watch out.

Maybe someone should break it to the Republicans: The presidential election is over, and they lost.
And their practice of demonizing Obama was one of the reasons they lost. Such practices simply drive independents and undecideds toward the Democrats.
Krugman has it right: The Republicans have become the party of stupid.

orangecat,
On the eve of a certain special day, your comment reminded me of something that happened a couple of hundred years ago. Maybe you are right after all. Maybe America should only be a land of/for the Americans. Maybe we should send people right back to where they came from. What do you think?

Posted by: Question | November 26, 2008, 11:06 pm 11:06 pm

We don’t have time for Georgia bigotry! McCain lost; Obama won. Chamblis and the bigotry of his state Republican party are a stain on the fabric of America. The ancestor of every single American citizen was once an immigrant, including Native Americans. Believe me, if my grand-parents only had to cross a line in the sand instead of an ocean, they’d have immigrated long before 1891. Many Hispanic immigrants, legal & illegal, man the lines of the big poultry companies. I seem to recall that GA has a few of those and I’m willing to bet they hire Hispanics because uneducated whites aren’t willing to work for peanuts. Oh, yeah, you grow peanuts in GA also; how many whites do the dirty work for the peanut farmers?
Of course, Republicans are all for shipping the good jobs overseas.

The republicans will come back by reinventing themselves just like the democrats did after 2000. The way to do that is to teach democratic voters how to become prosperous and then show them why tax cuts will help them. People of little means have no economic incentive to vote republican but folks who have succeeded financially, will be more inclined to vote for the party that is more frugal and less taxing on April 15th.Hispanics voted democratic in large numbers this time around but if they improve their collective financial status, they too will want lower taxes and less government in their life. That is how the republican party can come back and win back many voters.

zenzuuman ” The way to do that is to teach democratic voters how to become prosperous and then show them why tax cuts will help them. ”
They will have an uphill battle. The Democrats are winning a clear majority of the best educated voters, who make up the majority of the middle class. They are also winning the population centers, where people who live amongst immigrants and gay people find they are just normal folks not the dastardly fiends the Republican base characterizes them as. Americans are rejecting the culture wars, and the current big government, borrow-and-spend, corrupt, elective war making Republicans have nothing else to offer.

zenzuuman: “less government in their life.”
You have no idea how meaningless that phrase is to so many people. but that’s not even the point. Hispanics, like other races are just repulsed by the intolerance and bigotry that the R party officially embodies (see ad for evidence. I mean, why do they seem to have no shame when calling actual human beings “aliens”?) Hispanics work hard so they are not as financially miserable as you make them sound. It’s this disrespect towards humans that the Rs have no problem trotting that is the ROOT of the problem. If democrats showed as much disregard for people, they would be losing too. As for taxes, the only people who worry about how much taxes they have to pay on April 15th are those making the millions or something close to that. Trust me, the average person is not rattled one bit by taxes when times are good. It has proved to be the emptiest talking point of all talking points.

Jim Martin and his left wing extremist senate buddies are running a much more dishonest campaign. Their new ad is dishonestly trying to paint the Wallstreet bailout as a Republican Georgie Bush/Saxby partisan agenda item as if the Democrats in congress were not much more likely to vote for it. Obama supported it and no doubt Martin would also.
In Georgia, Martin has been a hard left tax and spender. He is soft on crime, dismisses personal responsibility, and thinks Government is the answer to all things.
Saxby is not perfect, but he is miles better then the extreme left Martin. We need Saxby and a strong opposition to oppose the coming Obama/Reid/Pelosi disaster.

I expect most voters will consider the people Obama’s been announcing this week – and wonder why the Republicans are against them.
After watching Barack and Michelle on the Barbara Walters interview Friday – they’ll wonder who on earth that scary guy is that the Republicans are talking about.
Most people don’t like it when they’re lied to and misled. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
Add it all up, and they’ll vote for Jim Martin.

Everybody on these blogs knows that I have railed against Obama nonstop for the last 6 months, denouncing him for his inexperience and his lack of judgment. In just one month’s time it looks like he has proven me almost completely wrong. The only thing the Republicans have to fear about Obama is transparency in government. Those bottomless wired contracts are going to come out into the sunshine. Check that, the only thing the Republicans have to fear about Obama is their loss of power (combined with atonement for their irresponsibility) for at least the next eight years! It looks like Caroline Kennedy was correct. He is a once in a generation leader! Go Obama Go!

Despicable tactics. Chambliss is a horrible evil ugly un-American political sleazebag for employing personal destruction as his only claim to his job.
The lies about Max Cleland still echo in the ears of all decent people; and now the same crew pulls the same modus operandi.
This is a dirty way to win.
Lets hope that the people of Georgia aren’t so passive, ignorant and stupid as to fall for this maliciously monstrous de facto political pogrom of a campaign.

The truth is that rich countries benefit from immigrants who are willing to work much harder because the amount of money they earn even when they are being exploited is like dying and going to heaven.
In 1967 my first year in America I was paid $ 1.5 per hour to clean dishes in my college cafeteria. That was more than a skilled construction worker made in a day of really hard work back where I had come from. My fellow workers nicknamed me “the immigrant” because I was working faster and basically did the work of two of them. Now I have a PhD and teach in a university and still like to do more work than my colleagues. To me the real immigration problem is how to teach our kids to work like immigrants.
Both Bush and McCain were bad examples. They started as party animals in their youth and the only reason they were accepted at Yale and the Naval Academy was because of their dads NOT because of their hard work in high school. It is not surprising that the need ghostwriters for their speeches and books.
Obama proved that anyone in our country can become president as long as their mother is willing to get up at 4:30 in the morning to help them with their school work as Obama’s mother did.
We need leaders like Obama whose example is glorifying hard work. Lazy Bush took long vacations while our country was ruined. American mountain tops were blasted by coal companies burying streams, the middle class lost earning power, the economy tanked, and thousands lost their lives in Iraq.
VOTE for MARTIN to help Obama put our country back to work and honor work. We should all be working like immigrants (though not paid like immigrants.)

Here is what I predict! Obama will not do anything to radical his first 2 years because of the upcoming Senate and House races. If he does anything radical upfront the American people will vote out a lot of Dems in 2 years. He will wait and sit back until the mid-term elections in hopes of gaining even greater numbers in both chambers. I think if the Dems control both sides in 2 years you will see him start with his radical agenda!

Chambliss’ ads are disgusting. Voters made up their minds before the general election. The ads have no affect other than to irritate people and reconfirm Chambliss’ poor character. The runoff results will be all about who can get their supporters back to the polls. Election officials are predicting a 22% overall turnout of registered voters. It’s safe to say the people who voted for the independent candidate will stay home. There are a lot of angry bigots in GA right now and they are the ones most likely to participate in the run-off. It makes me sick but I think Chambliss will win.

What happened to politicians running on their own merit? Voters want their elected officials to tell them what they have accomplished for the tax payers while in office. Where are the values that the “Party of Family Values” speaks of? You have to be accountable for your actions (even Ted Stevens) and they are finding it out now. At the end of eight years we have seen out of control spending, more big government, corruption even the Democrats couldn’t match, poking their nose into matters that should be resolved on a state level, handing billions of tax payer dollars over to the Pharmaceutical Ind. by not negotiating Medicare drugs, wanting to tax our income we pay for health insurance, pandering to the extreme right religious groups for more laws and I could go on and on. Does that sound like conservative values? Those issues are why the Republicans lost but they can’t figure it out duhhh!

Sad Voter from Georgia, I’m disappointed in you. Most of the posters here are just responding to what Jake Tapper wrote about the race, because they aren’t here to see the ads for themselves or know anything specific about the race. Those of us here know that this runoff has not brought out the best in either candidate. BOTH sides are running really ridiculous ads that focus on the other guy. BOTH sides are getting tons of ads now that are from outside groups, not the candidates. Those are the worst, as the example Jake points out shows.
I’d like to see him balance the talk about this ad, however, with some talk about a few of the ads AGAINST Chambliss. Equally silly and ugly. Chambliss is being lambasted by the Democratic Senatorial Committee, for example, for voting for the 70 billion dollar Wall Street bailout bill. Left unsaid in this, as Jake would say, is the fact that Democrats voted for the bill and were furious at house Republicans who were slower to fall into line. They wanted Chambliss’s vote at the time, now they attack him for it. And don’t mention that The Chosen One and Biden, along with McCain and most of the Senate, voted the same way. Disgusting.
In addition, before the Nov. 4th election, the Democrats ran tons of ads attacking Chambliss’s support of the Fair Tax. Now I think the Fair Tax is a dumb idea and am no fan of it. But I understand it. And the ads about it were the most misleading I have seen this year (since I don’t speak Spanish and didn’t get to relish the antiMcCain ads run in Spanish out west *G*). They stated that Chambliss wanted to ADD a federal sales tax that would raise prices on all products, and ran lost of examples like “The price of a movie ticket would go up 2.50″ or whatever. Problem is, of course, that the sales tax, if enacted, would REPLACE income tax and other taxes, not SUPPLEMENT them.
The whole thing is pretty silly and I can’t wait for Tuesday when, unlike in Minnesota, our election will finally be over. And I early voted for Chambliss. He’s basically a good guy. Martin has never impressed me in the state legislature and I hope that he does not pull off an upset here.
But there are plenty of us voting in Georgia for Chambliss who are NOT angry bigots, as you put it. In fact, I’m not a bigot at all.

All the over-heated, demented rhetoric about Marxism, radicalism, socialism, terrorism, and unAmericanism didn’t work for McCain and Palin because Real Americans have come to see this b.s. for what it is.
We’re living with serious problems and Americans are looking for serious solutions. Name calling, hysterical rhetoric and scare tactics are not going to provide us with a pathway out of the messes that we’re in.

The chambliss campaign is a stereo typical race ran with as many “facts” as any attwater/rove campaign.
Its incredible to me how the pubs’ use the immigration issue as though chambliss/bush/mccain were not all for cheap imported labor.How many times did we hear bush on tv telling us how badly we needed the immigrants?How many times did he say our economy would falter without them? how many times did he say they were doing things we didnt want to do? Or wouldnt do?
I will NEVER forget this because I was forced to compete with this cheap labor during a time when I could have been making much more,putting money aside for this economic downturn.
That was bush and his cronies like chambliss making sure big business had plenty of cheap labor.Shame on them for that and how dare them pretend this is a problem caused by any democrat.

Posted by: chuck | December 1, 2008, 6:16 pm 6:16 pm

I suppose it could be construed as “radical” if our president chooses to end prisoner torture, wealthy taxpayer and corporate welfare, ill conceived wars, etc, etc. Personally, I find nearly all of Sarah Palin’s positions radical- egomanical, she is a detriment to any candidate she endorses. Saxby Chambliss should have never been elected in the first place- he did it only by slandering war hero Max Cleland- should Chambliss somehow pull off a win in the runoff, the people of Georgia will be left out in the cold, as Chambliss will not have a voice in the new Congress and Administration.
