Corker's Hometown Police Endorse Ford




In Corker's home town of Chattanooga - where the wannabe Frist replacement was once Mayor Corker - the local police have snubbed their former mayor by endorsing Harold Ford (D).

The latest DSCC poll has Ford beating Corker by 7 points! That's 51% - 44%.

Probably the Chattanooga police don't like Bush rubber stamps anymore than the rest of us. Bush has a 35% approval rate in Tennessee.

See Corker caught flip-flopping on Iraq here.

And a new SurveyUSA poll finds Ford and Corker to be "essentially tied."

Meanwhile the Republican National Committee is investing heavily in the Corker campaign. Tennessee is one of three states targetted by the Dark Side as crucial if the GOP is to maintain its oppressive control of the U.S. Senate.

Cue the Fat Lady!!!

My first reaction to the police endorsing anyone is to vote for someone else. The experience of myself and friends with police has been that they are arbitrary, vindictive, self-serving, intrusive, and lack respect for the citizens they claim to be serving and protecting.

Police endorsements are important because they represent the first line of defense for many citizens. They also tend to be very conservative. And for it to be in the Corker's own political base is just incredible.

Conservative? They tend to go with politicians who support collective bargaining no matter what.

Oh, the fortunes of politics are not the kind of thing that make me unhappy. Besides, how could I be less than delighted when I see the kind of witty, insightful, and supposedly political commentary that has appeared today?

...Anything that makes the hypocrisy and the moral depravity that the gay KKK (the righties) exhibit clear-as-day visible, while accusing the other side of said hypocrisy and moral depravity, would of course, seem like a 'waste of time' to such as you.

...exactly how does a self-respecting republican adult have "boi" in their name?

...Yeah, at first I thought it was an acronym -- maybe "bigots on ice" or "beginnings of insanity."

...perhaps he's actually 12 yrs. old...that would certainly explain his political reasoning. but if he is collecting social security and using that term, well, perhaps we should call dateline.

...Look, if you love killing so much, why don't you suit-up and become a fly boy, just like coward Bush almost/sort of did? The only thing more cowardly than releasing bombs from miles in the sky is to lick the pant seat of those who do.

Um, same for you, "bi" KC "boy."

I never even heard of the bitch til today...

I don't even know what to say except that there is something seriously wrong with you Republicans...

I am sure that this is a stupid question, but; What is wrong with collective bargaining? Can you suggest an alternative?

[General_Alfie]

Interesting question to ask a Son of the South.

What other way could one secure the services of a person without properly paying them, with no rights, or even treating them especially well??????

I Do Wonder...

What is wrong with collective bargaining?

Why, iman, heaven forbid, don't ask him that! It would force him to confront the lifelong propaganda that was drilled into his head that started as far back as the womb...

God bless them for that!


Those who fail to see the significance of a Southern police union endorsing a black Democratic candidate for Senate will fail to miss any point other than their own.

Beautiful. Couldn't have said it better myself.

In what way do you mean "first line of defense"?
