3 February 2008 - It was a busy day yesterday for political junkies and the coming weeks will be no different. Grover Norquist spoke at the Cobb Republican breakfast on behalf of the Americans for Tax Reform. He likened tax revenues to the "oxygen of big government spending" and called Republicans who raise taxes, "The rat heads in the coke can", i.e. they give the brand name a bad name. He also advocated for government spending transparency similar to what the states of Missouri and Texas currently have.
At 10 AM the Georgia Christian Alliance held their Faith, Family, and Freedom Event at Riverwood High School in Atlanta.
At 5:30 PM at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center Senator John McCain made a campaign appearance where he received the endorsements of Georgia's 2 U.S. Senators, Saxby Chamblis and Johnny Isakson.

Isakson and Chambliss have lost touch with the base. Unbelievable why they would endorse anyone. Suck ups looking for favors!
