Politics Haslam Stamps Feet, Shakes Fists at Foes
Posted by Jeff Woods on Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 1:01 PM
Only three days ago, with wife Crissy gazing on adoringly in a TV ad, Bill Haslam was promising to stick to his "campaign of ideas." So much for the high road. We guess we'll have to rely on Basil Marceaux for ideas now. Says Haslam:
“I’ve focused my campaign over the last 18 months on the very serious issues facing Tennessee and its next governor. My opponents, Congressman Wamp and State Senator Ramsey, have focused their efforts on misleading the public about my record and theirs. Enough is enough, and I and my campaign will set the record straight with facts because this election is too important for voters to be purposefully misled by career politicians."
Wamp responds: "This is an amazing weight of advertising that he just ramped up. He's spending his own Pilot Oil money with infomercials in the same way Obama did."

"I am not a sissy wannbe! I am Haslam, Hear me Roar!"
I liked the commercial with the Crissy Doll much better. Still wondering where you order those and how long the battery life is.

Thank you for including my very cogent retort to Haslem's spending. Also, did you see what I did there? I was able to tie together Haslem and Obama. Tennessean's, are you paying attention?
Haslam cannot be trusted with the votes of the citizens. Give them to a true American by supporting Basil Marceaux. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=1123…
Basil, I like your look, your macho bravado! You seem like the kind of guy who could throw Hussein Obama through a window! I like that! My problem with you is your name! I'm not sure we should be voting for a governor from the great state of Tennessee with a French name! We are just coming off eight years of a New Yorker running our state and before that, a gay RINO in Sundquist! I don't think we can afford to elect someone name Basil Marceaux! Sorry, we need a true conservative with a meat and potato American name like Ron Ramsey or Zach Wamp!
Yours truly,
Angry White Patriot
I don't know AWP. Zach with an "H" sounds pretty weak to me. And an alliterative name like Ron Ramsey sounds like a broadway stage name. Don't you need names like Bull and Chuck and hard stuff like that to help you compensate?
Okay, I get that crazy is as crazy says, but where is Obama supposed to have gotten Pilot oil money?
Stomps feet, shakes fist? Sounded like a fairly even-keeled response to me - basically saying the other guy is misrepresenting me, and he's voted for some bad things himself. What is stomping feet, shaking fist? Oh Woods, what is it like to be a liberal troll?
The name thing is just stupid. If you want a true "American" name it'll have to be something Cherokee. Your "meat and potato American name[s] like Ron Ramsey [and] Zach Wamp" are British names. From England. Get over yourself, Angry White Patriot. Your ancestry is probably Irish, French, Italian, Dutch, just like every other so-called "white" person. Europe is Europe.
WoodsisATroll,
I think it unfair to call Mr. Woods a troll. What did a troll ever do to you?
Besides, what do you expect? Woods doesn't do much reporting anymore. He just sits down with his Daily Kos' Madlibs for Reporters and starts 'writing.' It almost makes one miss Larry Daughtrey and his columns that came straight off the fax from the TN Democratic Party.
