So, one of my senators is on the Trump bandwagon. Makes sense, Trump polls well in the state.

Don’t assume you’re safe. I’ve seen his canned letter a few times. It’s nothing earth-shatteringly in support of gun rights but it’s definitely not anti-gun either. Regardless, contact your legislators now. Update: More here.

Ya know, back during the primary, I was not a fan of Bob Corker. But, recently, he has impressed me. Lately with his big call out of the auto industry. Good for him. Also, we bailed out the banks. Most of us did not approve. I’m convinced if McCain had come out in opposition to […]

He knows vote buying when he sees it: “I think it’s short-sighted,” Corker said. “This economic stimulus plan costs over $150 billion and will have a negligible effect on the situation. All it does is create favor for politicians.

Maybe I was wrong about Corker and he is more conservative than I thought. At least he knows blatant vote-buying when he sees it.

Rustmeister wrote a letter. He got a response, which isn’t much of a response.

All have consumed the Ethanol kool-aid. Not good. The only positive thing about Thompson’s new position is at least he recognizes national security as part of the equation. I wish someone which teach these guys about entropy. Corn based Ethanol doesn’t help anyone. Expect for those ADM folks. And maybe some Tennessee folks.

The NRA says Vote Corker.

Miracle Man’s is none too happy: I am not surprised that the NRA would endorse Bob Corker over Harold Ford, Jr. What surprises me is the “A” rating that they gave Corker. I would have thought that an unrated endorsement would have been just as effective without having to do the mental gymnastics required to […]

Corker, who was endorsed by the NRA, doesn’t have a hunting license. I’m more concerned about whether he has a concealed carry permit or a wall full of AR-15s. I don’t have a hunting license and I’m as pro-gun as they get. Sean Braisted says: Here is my question; if a candidate in Tennessee really […]

Times Free Press: The National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund has endorsed Republican Bob Corker for U.S. Senate. “I am pleased that NRA members and gun owners in Tennessee really have a high-caliber candidate on Nov. 7,” Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA’s victory fund, said today during a conference call. Mr. Corker, who […]

Volunteer Voters reports: Chattanooga, Tenn. – The National Rifle Association, America’s leading Second Amendment rights grassroots organization, today formally endorsed Republican U.S. Senate nominee Bob Corker in Tennessee’s U.S. Senate race. I don’t know that Corker has a record on gun rights, really. I’ve covered Harold Ford and guns before. I wonder what the NRA […]

It’s no secret that I am no fan of Bob Corker. I’m also not a fan of Harold Ford. This morning on local talk radio, HHH interviewed ol’ Bob. This was the first time I’ve heard Bob speaking off the cuff. Bob’s message was simple: Only 31% of Ford’s money came from in state, whereas […]

Our state news is all abuzz about maybe, possibly our senator Bob Corker could be the Trump VP pick. Even though there is no evidence whatsoever that is the case. Even Bob Corker has dismissed these claims. It doesn’t make sense. Why would Trump pick a rather unremarkable senator from a state that will likely […]

Haslam pushing for increasing the Tennessee gas tax. Corker has been pushing one at the federal level too. And TN will have another registry, this time of animal abusers.

Corker calls for federal gas tax hike

Been talking about Lamar Alexander and the fact that he’s not a conservative and not small government. Well, he and Corker have decided to oppose the budget bill. You know, one that doesn’t matter so they can tout their conservative voting records.

There apparently is a democrat running in this race. The general consensus from Tennessee Democrats: This crap sandwich is delicious. With a hint of take your castor oil from the local democrat shills. As for me, I don’t care for any of them. Haslam is a phony conservative. He’s on the Corker express good ol’ […]

So says Corker.

Never was a fan of Corker when he ran. He was, in my view, one of the good ol’ boy rich guy network. But he’s started to impress me. Here, he explains why the public option isn’t that a good idea.

Corker says he’s for health insurance reform. However, I think he and those that oppose nationalized health insurance should keep making that distinction. One of the more effective bits of propaganda from the socialized medicine crowd is to label it health care reform. It has as much to do with health care reform as arguing […]

Braisted: Sen. Corker has supported the President’s line 68% of the time […] Sen. Alexander isn’t far behind, with a record of supporting the President 65% of the time.

Feds to regulate tobacco. Plenty of reasons why this is dumb but the most striking is that when regulation is supported by players in the industry (in this case, Phillip Morris), you have to wonder exactly what’s going on. Bob Corker disappoints and supports the bill.

A round up of cheery news. Or The I wish it was April Fools post. Chrysler is toast. Corker, so far, is the only Senator I’ve seen who gets it: “I think for all of us who believe in free enterprise, this is the crossing of a major threshold, and it actually should send a […]

Corker is not too happy: This is a marked departure from the past, truly breathtaking, and should send a chill through all Americans who believe in free enterprise. I worry that in one fell swoop we’ve lost our moral high ground throughout the global community as it relates to chastising other countries that use strong-arm […]

Bob Corker called the bailout of AIG a Tar Baby. Those of you who have cracked a book will get the reference. The ignorant will scream THAT’S RACIST. You know, like the time they did over the time someone said niggardly, yard-apes, and mighty white of you. A pity that you have to choose words […]

Ya know, I find B-Ho is mostly a self-righteous attention whore. So, let’s just get that out of the way first. But this whole dust up over Barack Milhouse Obama’s wife is stupid. See, once your wife hopped into the campaign, shit she says is fair game. Period. Done. End of story. Too bad for […]

WBIR notes that Corker supports the changes and says this of Lamar Alexander: Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander says he sees no need to change the current rule.

I’ve been taking my hat off to lots of people today. A Florida student newspaper; Tennessee’s Attorney General; Al Gore and his internets; a Blount County Commissioner; the US Senate; even Bob Corker. Seems like today is going well. This much good stuff can’t happen at once. I suddenly find myself preparing to be disappointed […]

Senator Corker is for it. Alexander’s not so sure.
