On Health Care: Voted against the drug bill set up by the drug companies

ISAKSON: Isakson focused on his plan to expand Medicare to more people and create healthcare savings accounts for workers who make tax-free contributions.

MAJETTE: Majette, who also voiced her support for Medicare and Medicaid programs, said she voted against the Medicare prescription drug bill because it “was set up by the drug companies” and accused Isakson of pandering to big corporations.

On Homeland Security: Deficits make it hard to fund the war on terrorism

ISAKSON: Securing the homeland means taking the fight to the terrorists where ever they area and we have done that in Iraq as we did in Afghanistan.

MAJETTE: How are we going to fund the continuation of the war on terrorism and how are we going to fund continuing to make our communities safe and right now we are in record deficits?

On War & Peace: Isakson voted against providing $1,500 bonuses to soldiers

ISAKSON: “Americans are sacrificing, and democracy is winning,” Isakson said in the debate sponsored by WMAZ-TV in Macon and held at Reaves Arena on the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry. Isakson said terrorism “is an evil we must destroy.” “I’m proud of my vote, and I’m committed to the war on terror,” Isakson said.

MAJETTE: Majette, however, accused Isakson of voting against providing $1,500 bonuses to soldiers and giving them tax breaks. “As the daughter of a World War II veteran and the niece of a veteran of Korea who never returned home, I will never allow someone to question my integrity, my belief in what we are doing, what our soldiers are doing,” she said.
