Politics / Woods Sasser Defends Democrats
Posted by Jeff Woods on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 2:10 PM
A lot of people are casting stones at a lot of different folks over what’s happened, and we do all have to do a little bit of soul searching here. If you want one person to blame, if we can cast the blame and move on, blame me and let’s move on.And here’s Sasser on the state GOP’s campaign to smear Barack Obama with appeals to bigotry and racism in Tennessee.
I believe in the power of ideas, and I believe our ideas are right and I believe we probably need to use some better language to promote our ideas. But at no point do I ever want to see people in the Democratic Party sending out some of the emails that I’ve seen coming out of the Republican Party. At no point do I want to make an insinuation about somebody’s religion, about somebody’s background, about something that’s not true. We put up some very tough TV ads and tough ads about somebody’s record … but I do not ever want the Tennessee Democratic Party devolve into an Internet attack machine that in some ways we’ve seen from the Republican Party.h/t Kleinheider

The TNDP attack ads were awful. Awful. Did Sasser have anything to do with them?

What's that old saying...oh yeah..."Where's the beef?" Come on, throw us rank and files a bone.

Sasser dealt the cards he was handed. Let's face it. The highest ranking Democrat, Governor Bredesen, ran from the Obama campaign and ran from helping democratic senate and house candidates. Bredesen is the only democrat since 1988 to win all 95 counties and his presence was nominal at best in this election cycle. Thanks Phil for leaving the Democratic party in worse shape than you found it 6 years ago. At least then we were all united against Sundquist and his corrupt administration. Thanks for paying it forward Phil.
