Voted for Saxon, hope you do too

  • Follow Letters

As native of Augusta, I remember casting my first ballot for Charlie Norwood in 1996.

Some 12 years later, I now live in Oconee County, and I proudly cast my ballot for Bobby Saxon last week.

Everyone gets tempted to merely vote for the letter next to someone's name, but in this election Saxon represents a real change and someone who will work for all parts of the district. There is no doubt that Paul Broun is good man, but he's been a congressman who's been more concerned with sound bites and exposure rather than working for results in the 10th Congressional District.

A combat veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, Saxon believes in fiscal responsibility, constituent service and a strong national defense. It's those types of commonsense values we need, and I hope the residents of my hometown will keep that in mind when they vote.

You have Democrats, you have Republicans, and then you have Broun off in space. He is a third entity unto himself. Even his own party runs against him. He is an outlier. His views so out of any useful stream of politics that he becomes useless to us as a Congressman regardless of party.
Witness how Broun's refusal to debate his opponent in his own district reflects on the so called integrity of this man. Even Broun doesn't support himself.
On the other hand, we have a solid conservative Iraq war veteran in Bobby Saxon, whose only fault in this election is the D beside his name on the ballot. If this were a non-partisan election, Bobby Saxon would win by a landslide.

I gotta admit, I've never quite liked a democrat like I like Bobby Saxon. Seems a lot of Republicans I know feel the same way too.

For those of you that are undecided, here's some videos I dug up on youtube.

Saxon is a whiny crybaby. Have you heard his radio ad where he complains in a whiny voice that Broun won't "debate" him? Don't blame your failure on someone else, Mr. Saxon. Get your message out and take your licking like a man. I can't stand a whiner.

Gotta hand it to Saxon. He's done a great job lining up letter writers and bloggers. Too bad for him that he's up against a very popular giant slayer.

Broun got my vote the day he voted against the bailout. Go Paul!
