There is a RINO in the State House


I consider myself lucky to live in Tennessee.  We are a very red state.  After this year’s elections, we will be even more so.   Our congressional delegation will go from 5-4 Democrat to at least 6-3 Republican and possibly 7-2.  There is even a chance of a Republican win for the 9th congressional district in heavily Democratic Memphis, which could even make the congressional split 8-1.

 

In the state senate and the state house, Republicans are set to increase their margins.  This will be huge as the state is redistricted in 2011.  And, there will be a Republican governor.

 

It all looks good right?

 

Wrong.

 

The next governor of Tennessee is going to be Bill Haslam.  He is a RINO.   The Haslam family owns Pilot Oil.  There were three other conservative Republicans that ran against him.   Haslam is basically a really rich guy, who wants to be governor, and who outspent everyone and ended up winning the primary.  The Democrats have a weak candidate, Mike McWherter, the son of a former Democratic governor and a beer distributor from Jackson.    He stands no chance.

 

I have nothing against really rich guys.  I have nothing guys or gals, who want to be governor.  What I have a problem with is someone who wants to be governor simply to be governor.  I have a problem with someone who simply wants to add something to their resume.  I have a problem with someone who simply wants to punch that ticket.   I have a problem with someone who really stands for nothing and offers nothing.

 

We have had a number of those from the Republican party.  George H.W. Bush was one.  He had no real agenda or purpose, other than to be President.  George W. Bush had no real purpose in running, other than to avenge his father’s loss and advance the Bush dynasty.  Look where that got us.

 

The last great President was Ronald Reagan.  Reagan did not run for the Oval Office simply so he could be President.  He went with a specific agenda.  He was going to fight communism abroad and liberalism here domestically. 

 

For right now, the good times are over for America.  We cannot afford leaders who simply want to run for office for their own benefit. We need leaders who come to the table with a specific agenda to help this country.  We need leaders who stand out by virtue of the fact, you know exactly what they stand for   One of the few positive things I can say about Obama is you know what his agenda is and what he stands for.

 

As we roll into the 2012 election, we have to select a leader to win the White House.   It cannot be someone who simply wants to advance their political career.  It has to be someone who is committed to a conservative agenda and someone  we do not have to worry about where they are going to stand on issues.  We need someone with core principles and values.

 

For Tennessee Republicans, that man is not on the ballot this year.  For the first time in my adult life, I will not be voting in a governor’s election.    For 2012, we cannot allow a RINO like Mitt Romney to be the leader of the Republicans and be the 45thPresident.  We need to find good conservative leaders.  For the White House, the State House and even the Mayor’s House.

Yes James:
Very good, and would you concede that It has been suggested by several chronicles (notably the Annals of Westhide Abbey) that King John killed his nephew, Arthur of Brittany, by throwing him from a window in the castle at Rouen, France, in 1203.
AND
In 1572, French King Charles IX's friend, the Huguenot leader Gaspard de Coligny, was killed in accordance with the wishes of Charles' mother, Catherine de' Medici. Charles had allegedly said "then kill them all that no man be left to reproach me." Thousands of Protestants were killed in the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre after soldiers attacked Coligny in his house, stabbed him, and threw him out the window.
The act of defenestration, was an act of "We had ENOUGH", and come to think about it I do believe when the great stock market crash the brokers on Wall Street were not jumping out of there windows, but in reality were being thrown out of windows. I did not mention War, what i did say is " But we work up, and joined together to VOTE them out of office" Yes!

Are you saying as a RINO or as a conservative solution?

I would love to see Mike Pence in that office! He is not after it, I do think he would take it if enough of us ask him! He is a good man!
He is a Christian Conservative Republican! He IS what we need in DC!

Pence is certainly someone I am keeping an eye on.

Sarah Palin will be the Republican Common Sense Conservative nominee. Sarah will also be the next president of the US. She is the only person in America that can beat this socialist adminstration and take back our country.

Her conservatism was contained by the McCain campaign. Look at her record and not just who she was the running mate of. Sarah is a true conservative and McCain is a RINO. She has proved her conservatism over and over again. There are a few strong conservatives out there that we should be looking at like Huckabee, Christie, Pence, and maybe even Newt Gingrich, but right now I have a Sarah Palin/Chris Christie ticket as my favorite winning dream team.

Our problem is that the majority of people who would seek the highest office in the land do so not to serve the people but to serve agendas and themselves. Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in the 20th century, with no exceptions, even so he had his flaws, illegal immigration and the 1986 amnesty was one, Iran-Contra was the other, no matter how noble the motive, the Constitution outlaws these actions! By comparison Bush was relatively mediocre. Bush's shining moment was the tax cuts. Bush continued the trampling of our Constitution by expanding our already illegitimate government , he supported the illegal invasion of our nation from Mexico by attempting amnesty, and he trampled the rights of Americans with the Patriot act. Lets not even talk about the bailouts started in his administration and his overall moderate politics when the nation was screaming for conservative policy. In short, Bush was a disappointment.

We should never lose sight of the fact that our presidents are operating in a government that has already positioned itself outside Constitutional constraints. We should never lose sight of the fact that political elites run this government for now. We should not lose sight of the fact that we as voters failed in our vigilance and did not protect our freedoms. We should never lose sight of the fact that our current political elite regard us as cattle to be managed and herded, eventually to be disposed of at their whim.

Politicians are a peculiar class of human being, narcissstic superegos seeking power as an end in itself and often as corrupt as can be. Currently our political system is selling positions of power to the highest bidder regardless of the Constitutional constraints. These people in turn become the peddlers of political influence whose allegiance is purchased for legislative advantage in illegitimate regulations and laws created by runaway government.. In fact the US federal government since Wilson's election is the largest criminal organization in history.

If anyone thinks that the vast majority of politicians are anything other than professional parasites they are sadly mistaken. The only thing that gives me any hope is the TEA Party movement and the rising political influence of true conservatives.

President George W. Bush was a great president, and too good of a God loving leader and man for this nation. We didn't deserve him! But we do deserve what we invariably wanted and elected instead, Obama! If it wasn't so frightening, it would almost be laughable.

We disagree on this point but I do respect your opinion, Bush's religious convictions aside his job performance, as Constitutionally defined, was abysmal at best. In a somewhat free society you still have the right to judge Bush by whatever criteria you choose. Using Obama as a comparison however is a fairly pathetic yardstick, by comparison even Carter looks better than Obama, even if only by the slimmest of margins.

The witch-hunt is over! So is the lynching! My point was simple..., it's a thing---the mob rules -kick when the victim is down or find a more deserving scapegoat (especially if he doesn't or won't defend himself). I call it cowardice at its best. If you have anything else to say, or want to make a point on something, get off this one, it's more pathetic than you think.
