Saxby Chambliss

GOP members of the committee who withdrew their support for its investigation released their own 167-page minority views response to the Democratic report, arguing that the detention and interrogation program saved lives and played a vital role in weakening al-Qaeda.

The dissenting committee members, Senators Saxby Chambliss, Richard Burr, Jim Risch, Daniel Coats, Tom Coburn, and Marco Rubio.

Marco himself.

The likely 2016 presidential contender are just some of the many Republican lawmakers up in arms over the comprehensive review of controversy.

No, no.

Anyway, the article goes on.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, remember him, and Senator Saxby Chambliss, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who I believe would not be in office if Rick Wilson had not done that absolutely scandalous, hateful commercial comparing his opponent to Osama bin Laden.

slammed the report as an ideologically motivated and distorted recounting of historical events.

So you want me to say,

and I know they may be listening, you only put y'all above Roy Barnes, Saxby Chambliss, Shirley Franklin, Drew Ferguson, some OGs.

They the OG team.

That's the OG team.

So, I'd like to acknowledge those two and many other folks who've been generous with their time.

Saxby Chambliss, I worked for him in college when he was a congressman.

My district in Gwinnett, I don't think is nearly as competitive as Saxby's district was there in middle Georgia.

There was a cliffhanger on several elections.

Again, strong Democratic year, well-funded candidate, a race that got attention, but Kyl hung on.

2008, Jim Martin in Georgia is running against Saxby Chambliss.

Bruce Lunsford in Kentucky is running against Mitch McConnell.

Both races became pretty interesting in a year where Democrats were winning almost everywhere they needed to win, but they came up short in those two races.
