At a Republican Party picnic, one candidate for governor calls for eliminating Medicaid, but it's Zach Wamp who really turns up the crazy:
"People have asked me what we'd do if President Barack Obama issued an executive order to take firearms away from the people. I'll tell you what we'd do. We will meet him at the state line!"
Social conservatives discuss the shattering glass houses at the Capitol. Rep. Mike Bell: "I guess this can be a dangerous place for a person who's not well grounded."... Seven gubernatorial candidates report receiving $1.2 million in donations that can be spent only in the general election campaign. ... Campfield and Kelsey and Lynn--oh my! And you thought the Senate already was conservative. A.C. Kleinheider reports:
Tennesseans face the possibility of seeing, not just one, but three of the most conservative and controversial members of the state House GOP caucus running for seats in the upper chamber this year and next.
Congressman John Lewis helps Tennessee Democrats raise cash. ... A Georgia legislator calls for action to siphon our water. ... Chip Saltsman finds a job. ... Tennessee tightens diploma standards. ... Brad Schrade tosses Gibbons a bone. ... Lowery, Wharton may hold advantage in field of nine running for Memphis mayor. ... Tom Humphrey comments on how we're all getting used to sex scandals. ... Liz Garrigan finds refreshing unpredictability in the politicians' reaction to the new gun laws. ... Chip Forrester scolds Fred Thompson for telling his radio show listeners that health-care reform legislation promotes suicide:
"Making the wild leap that the bill promotes suicide or euthanasia is flat out irresponsible. Sen. Thompson should know better. He is a respected statesman here in Tennessee, and people generally take him at his word. I respectfully ask Mr. Thompson do the right thing and stop pandering to the special interests who want to derail health-care reform."

I use to be a democrat until I ran into people like Jeff Woods. This man couldn't tell the truth if his tail was on fire. These far left demigods have taken over most of the print media and television media and have now begun to spread their perverted message. The Republican Party and specialty the ones running for governor care about everyone. Unfortunately they believe we don't have to give up every freedom to do it. Giving to the poor should be voluntarily and not forced at gunpoint by the government in Washington. The Constitution gives us a right to bear arms or does Jeff Woods not believe in the Constitution anymore? The democrats want to take many of our rights away.

Really? I want whatever you are on as long as it's legal and doesn't take a prescription. And I'm sure the Republican candidates for Governor are for everyone -- to carry a gun and what else? The right to bear children regardless, live forever in a nursing home, drink wine and shoot criminals in parks and school parking lots and churches as long as they have a permit? And if I see a Redcoat, I'll shoot him.

Glad someone mentioned "redcoats", as this is exactly what's going on here. The country is sharply divided between those who want to put the red carpet out for the Obamanation take-over (ie: tyranny) and those who still believe in a little document called the CONSTITUTION. Therein lies the battle line. Which side are you on? In the days of the first Revolution there was a sharp divide between the loyalists and the Patriots. Which one are you? "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." Where is Patrick Henry when we need him?
