A GOP SENATOR TAKES ON GOP LIES

POLITICO reports that Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) criticized his GOP colleagues for spreading disinformation about the "Gang of Six" budget plan:

Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss leveled sharp criticism at his Republican colleagues for spouting “misinformation” about the Gang of Six’s proposal, calling their remarks “very disturbing” and questioning their desire to pass a deficit-cutting deal.

“Because people are here on this floor throwing out numbers that are wrong, giving specifics on a piece of legislation that has not even been written, and they’re talking like they’re experts on the subject of a matter that my five colleagues and I have been discussing, debating among ourselves for the last six months,” Chambliss said on the floor. “And we haven’t even put the legislation out there yet.”
