Another name in the mix to replace Saxby Chambliss: Sonny Perdue

2:20 pm January 25, 2013, by jgalloway

Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich are out. U.S. Reps. Paul Broun and Tom Price have formally begun pondering their futures, now that U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss has decided to step out of their way.

But here’s another name that’s only just surfacing: That of Sonny Perdue, modern Georgia’s original Republican governor.

“The governor is really concerned about the current course of the country, and is very much analyzing today’s news,” a close associate said this afternoon.

Consider the potential: Perdue presided over a pretty good economy, he has immediate statewide name Id, he’s had three years to put his family affairs in order, and he’s already taken on Grover Norquist.

Amen, black label. I was thinking the same thing. I don’t have any problem if people disagree politically with Sen Cleland, but the unsubstantiated drivel that Wally thinks passes off as a reason annoys me to no end. Thank you for your service.

And will you also renounce the vile stuff coming from the left about McCain?

TD; I don’t care for character assassination from either side especially for someone who served. I voted for Sen McCain and I cannot imagine what it must have been like to endure what he dealt with as a POW. That said, I have watched him in action in the Senate and have seen him eviscerate witnesses in SASC hearings for sport. He just seems mean spirited, but maybe that comes with living in a cage for years. I don’t know. I never sensed his colleagues or his staff particularly liked him – they certainly respected his service and his experiences, but he just has a rep as an ornery SOB.

You haters tat get your information from historians like Ann Coulter and use Saxby Chambliss ies to run down Max Clelland, well, you’re why Georiga is known as such a backwater.

Max Clelland has served with distinction, both in Vietnam and his many years in government. He fights for veterans, which McCain doesn’t do. McCain got his shot at flying fame because he’s the son and grandson of admirals, not from merit. Crash as many planes as he has, and you wouldn’t fly in Vietnam, unless strings were pulled.

It was the Bush GOP crowd that convinced South Carolina to not vote for him becasue he has a colored child (true).

Unlike Honorable and electable Max Clelland, McCain tried to destroy the country by selecting that grifter Sarah Payin’ Palin as second in command for America. You betcha’ that’s what he’ll be remembered for, and for dumping his first wife when she was disfigured from a car wreck, and marrying money, and his psycho statements on Sunday talk since–competing with Lindsey for biggest crazy commentor of the day…. Mr. Clelland will be remembered with honor, despite Karl grifter Rove and Ann Coulter.

GO GOP, right down the drain.
