YOU DID IT AGAIN JIM!

PROVING TO GEORGIANS YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND

At a Chamber of Commerce breakfast in Columbus this morning, Jim Martin fumbled again this time turning his back on our small businesses!

ü Columbus Chamber Vice President Harold Wyatt asked a very simple & straight forward question about a provision in this past summer’s housing bill that adversely effects small businesses like TSYS in Columbus. But Jim Martin clearly didn’t have a clue as to what Harold was talking about!
o “This is an important detail for TSYS and Synovus obviously, but the crisis was caused by 8 years of mismanagement of the economy. [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER] What was going on frankly was trying to come up with a way for the taxpayers to $700 billion of our money and our children’s money and our grandchildren’s money to solve a problem that had been developing for a long time without any reasonable oversight at the federal level, SEC having no control over credit default swaps and other kind of sophisticated derivatives that got us into this problem. That needs to change – someone needs to stand up for working Americans and not the special interest.” – Jim Martin

WHAT? REALLY JIM? WHAT QUESTION WERE YOU ANSWERING?

That is the second time this week! Can you just not be bothered to learn about the important issues facing Georgians? I guess they don’t put local Georgia issues in your liberal, Democratic playbook!

ü During the WALB/WTOC debate that aired October 20, when Jim Martin about his support of the Savannah Harbor Deepening Project he said “I’m not for that at this point.”

QUICK, SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN A BIGGER SHOVEL – HE’S GOT A PRETTY BIG HOLE TO DIG OUT OF NOW!

JIM MARTIN: UNPREPARED, UNINFORMED AND NOT QUALIFIED!

JIM “POLITICAL OPPORTUNIST” MARTIN FLIP-FLOPS ON FINANCIAL RESCUE PACKAGE

Looks like Jim “Political Opportunist” Martin finally pulled his head out of the sand just long enough to declare that maybe he was wrong and Saxby was right about helping Georgians during this difficult economic time!

ü For weeks, Martin has criticized Saxby and the financial rescue package adopted by Congress…
o Jim Martin told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that he was “very disappointed” in Chambliss’ vote for another “typical Washington solution.”

ü BUT now, it seems Jim Martin has had a change of heart!
o “In a conference call Tuesday with Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va. – who voted for the plan – and reporters, Martin said it was needed…’Obviously, something needed to be done,’ the former state representative said…”

Wait a second, Jim. So now are you saying that Saxby’s vote for the financial rescue plan was the right thing to do???

Looks like the AJC was right, your position
“frankly smacks of political opportunism.”

FINALLY!!! Jim Martin Admits He Won’t Stand Up for the Middle Class!

Jim Martin actually told the truth!!!!


ü During Jim Martin’s closing statement in the WSB TV debate that aired Sunday, October 19th, he said, “We need someone in Washington to stand up for the middle class. Saxby will, I won’t!”




JIM, WE ALWAYS KNEW YOUR RECORD TOLD THE TRUTH...

WE JUST NEVER KNEW YOU WOULD!!!!

Jim Martin Says Drilling for Oil Won’t Help America Achieve Energy Independence!

Really?!?!? Is he kidding?!?! Perhaps we should go ahead and shut down the rigs in the Gulf of Mexico!!


ü During the WSB TV debate that aired on Sunday, October 19, when asked how our country could achieve energy independence, Jim Martin said, ‘drilling for oil doesn’t help us do that.’


JIM MARTIN: THE ONLY PLACE HE WANTS TO DRILL IS YOUR WALLET!

Jim Martin Won’t Stand Up for Georgia in Tri-State Water Wars

During the WALB debate that aired Monday, October 20, Jim Martin refused to condemn Senator Barack Obama’s promise that he will make Florida’s water resources a priority in the tri-state water war if elected president.

ü “As President, I will make protecting Florida's water resources a priority,” Obama continued.

Jim Martin actually tried to deny that this was Obama’s stated position!

ü “Saxby people don’t believe you, they know that’s not true. They know that’s not the position Senator Obama has taken, no Presidential candidate would take a position like that.”

REALLY JIM? BECAUSE WHAT, YOU DIDN’T READ THE STATEMENT THAT SENATOR OBAMA PUT OUT FROM HIS CAMPAIGN? AND YOU DIDN’T READ ANY OF THE NEWS COVERAGE? REALLY?

ü “…if that is-and its not-if that were by some silly reason Obama’s, President Obama’s position, I’d stand up to him.”

REALLY JIM? YOU’D STAND UP TO BARACK OBAMA TO PROTECT GEORGIA? BECAUSE WHEN HE ISN’T EVEN IN THE ROOM YOU CANNOT FIND THE BACKBONE TO STAND UP TO HIM BUT WE SHOULD BELIEVE THAT IF HE WERE PRESIDENT YOU WOULD STAND UP TO HIM? REALLY?


Jim Martin: Standing Up For
Florida’s Mussels & Sturgeon!

Jim Martin lacks INTEGRITY

Jim Martin LIES about the Fair Tax!

In a desperate attempt to mislead Georgia voters, Jim Martin reaches out to his liberal democrat friends in Washington to run an ad full of LIES about the Fair Tax!!!

ü They claim Saxby is working on a plan to raise taxes[1], but they get it completely wrong.

Jim Martin is just like his liberal cronies in Washington – he lacks integrity.

ü Jim Martin and his liberal friends don’t want you to know the TRUTH!

o The Fair Tax would actually ABOLISH THE IRS!!!
o The Fair Tax would ELIMINATE THE INCOME TAX for every American!
o The Fair Tax would KILL THE DEATH TAX!
o The Fair Tax would ELIMINATE THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX!
o The Fair Tax is supported by 120,000 Georgians (and growing)![2]


Did no one tell Jim Martin and his Washington friends that Neal Boortz (the High Priest of the Painful Truth) and Congressman John Linder actually
WROTE THE BOOKS ON THE FAIR TAX!!!


Listen to what Neal Boortz had to say about this ad.

REALLY JIM? REALLY?
IS THIS THE BEST YOU COULD GET FOR YOUR MONEY?

“They had a million dollars to spend, this is all they could up with…A LIE!”[3]

Jim Martin: Doing his best to lose credibility!
