Opinion by George McClellan:Does it really matter to Georgia’s voters that many of those those people we send up to Washington DC every two or six years to push our conservative agenda to support the constitution and the rule of law, quickly turn mushy when voting on conservative issues and cast their votes instead to favor big government, big business and big banks, as they are told to do?

For Georgia, the one bright exception is our newest Senator Mr. David Perdue, who scores a 100% with Conservative Review when tallying his voting record in the Senate. I acknowledge that David Perdue has only three months service behind him and nearly six years ahead of him and that time will tell how he turns out. But, I am hopeful because I know that Mr. Perdue, before deciding to run for the Senate, had a profitable business career and has arrived at the point in his life where he can say he has enough! Besides that, he promised!

It is sad to report that Georgia Senator Mr. Johnny Isakson, a two term veteran of that august body, the US Senate, scores a miserably low 44% record voting on conservative issues. I am not surprised because anybody who pays attention to these things already knew that.

In an early attempt to suppress any possible competition in 2016, Mr. Isakson has already started his fund raising campaign, claiming a conservative record to which he is clearly not entitled. I invite Georgia’s conservative voters to review Mr. Isakson’s voting record and prepare to be shocked, especially when you learn he voted for the National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA) which he apparently didn’t read, because his “aye” vote authorized the President or the Secretary of Homeland Security, that any American designated by them as terrorists, to be arrested and incarcerated until the end of whatever it was the president thought was dangerous to his administration. Tea Party members, you could end up in Guantanamo.

It is incumbent on Georgian’s to start vetting a suitable replacement to challenge Mr. Isakson in the coming primary. The status quo can no longer be maintained. Georgia has many highly qualified candidates who could fill that billet far better than worn out old Johnny can.

Georgia’s current crop of House representatives are also developing a less then admirable conservative voting record. For example the record of 9th District Rep. Mr. Doug Collins, is at 63% and has dropped substantially below our former 9th District Rep. Tom Graves, now of GA-14, at 79%. Others of Georgia’s representatives are showing a slipping lack of enthusiasm for conservative issues include: Lynn Westmoreland, GA-3, at 80%, Austin Scott, GA-8 at 82%, Tom Price, GA-6 at 74%, Buddy Carter GA-1 at 67% and Bob Woodall, GA-7 at 66%. Voters in those districts should consider bolstering their representatives spines to stay the conservative course and do what’s right. The GOP won, the democrats didn’t! Let’s act like it.

It was difficult enough getting both houses of the Congress back into Republican hands in 2014 after 2012’s election debacle, but apparently, the democrats don’t even acknowledge their sweeping loss and are continually bent on pushing their own agenda, while our guy’s agree with them. If that’s true, then the GOP victory will have turned out to have been a hollow one and we can only watch in abject disappointment while our America slips into the abyss of Obama’s socialist darkness.

What possible good is it to have a GOP congress if they don’t do what they were sent up there to do, vote for conservative issues and start the reformation of America. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (23 Feb 2015)
