I know that Nashville might as well be Gomorrah to the churchist crowd, and I don't have a good perspective on exactly what Tennessee's electorate looks like...
But are there really enough crazy God-botherers outside of Nashville and Memphis for elected representatives to be crapping their flannels on every issue? Is there an actual majority of people in non-urban Tennessee who see themselves as the Jesus Taliban? And do they really vote in lockstep based on what the C of C minister sermonizes about?
Or is it just a very vocal, very whiny minority of the electorate who believe that the Devil has some sort of lobbying firm operating out of the old Castner's building, and it's their duty to find the Godly side of practially every single resolution that comes before the Tennessee legislature?
I know they're out there, because I read the Tennessean comments section, and I see them try to bend every story to fit the culture war. I suppose this is what's driving Campfield and the other wingnut champion to do whatever it is they do. But there's no way that a majority of Tennesseans think like freeper theocrats. When are we going to show that we're fed up with these jackholes? How do they exert such power, when they can't possibly be a majority of Tennessee citizens?
