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?
ISAKSON: I am one of these people that doesn't preclude any consideration from debate. I just want us to have the debate and move forward on meaningful reform in tax policy.
ISAKSON: Isakson defended his voting record on education, saying he voted for funding increases in both programs.
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.
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.
