Politics Forrester: 'Enough Already'
Posted by Jeff Woods on Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 8:32 AM
A year ago, Gov. Bill Haslam and Republicans took over our state pushing a national, partisan agenda.They refused to pass a single jobs initiative. They stripped common sense rights away from our public schoolteachers. And they put big money special interests over the interests of Tennesseans.
One year later and just a few days into 2012's legislative session, they haven't changed a bit.
This time around Haslam and the Republican legislature are pushing for new laws that will cram more kids into each classroom, give deeper tax breaks to their wealthy donors, and still fail to seriously address the jobs crisis.
It's only the beginning of 2012, and I've already had enough.

I want to once again take time out from my day to thank the Tennessee Democratic Party membership and its leadership for reelecting Mr. Forrester. He has successfully led the party into its most powerful position it has ever enjoyed in this state. Oddly it was the Republicans he did this for, but none the less thank you for your service to the people of the state of Tennessee and the Republican powerbase currently in complete control of state government, the federal delegation, and the local election commissions.
Thank you Mr Forrester for a job well done.

Unfortunately, Moost has made a point with his well-aimed sarcasm. Chip means well, I suppose, but he should never have been elected chairman, certainly did not merit a single vote for reelection (what were the nitwits on the Executive Committee thinking?), and would do us all a favor by stepping down now in time for some kind of last-ditch effort to salvage something, anything, this year. But don't count on it happening.
I, too, have "had enough" of Gov. Emptysuit Haslam's inept and misguided mismanagement of his office and of our state. But I also have "had enough" of the inept and misguided "leadership" of the Democratic Party.
