What he was doing was calling Steve Cohen a white devil. That's just the sort of leader we want to represent us in the Senate. Right. I for one am tired of feeling embarrassed by our local leadership, and I hold Sr. more repsonsible than anyone else for the stunted development of good Memphis leadership that is just now beginning to emerge, for example, in the Democratic county commission majority.<BR/><BR/>The worst thing that has happened lately to Memphis politics is Sr.'s local visitation prompted by Herenton's comments in September about Jake. <BR/><BR/>Sr. did enough damage to Memphis political leadership in the 20+ years he was the kingpin to last for several decades after his leavetaking. I personally can't wait for him to head back to Miami. No way should he be representing Memphis in the 21st century.Desi Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117709493761186328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-1161999313520413462006-10-27T20:35:00.000-05:002006-10-27T20:35:00.000-05:00Vote for Chris Lugo!

I might swallow really hard--as I'm tempted to do with the IL Governor's race and Blogojevich--and vote for JR.

Now, Jake Ford Jr. is the man that you need. And I promise you that Jake Ford Jr. – he don’t believe in no same-sex marriages! <B>We’re from a Christian city here. He doesn’t believe in legalizing marijuana.</B> This man that’s running against Jake wants some sex shops running in downtown Memphis on a Sunday! That’s our religious holiday. He shouldn’t be doing that and then saying he’s the most liberal Democrat. <B>He is too liberal! I mean, paramutual betting.</B> And this lottery! A lottery ain’t nothing but a tax on poor people. And why would you brag about lottery. And the very people that the lottery’s supposed to help are the very people that can’t go to college and benefit from it. So I say to you: Trust me, you trusted me as your congressman. We don’t know much about the other person.

I had suggested writing in Jake for SENATE since Sr. so wanted us to vote for him....no chance Jake would win that one of course. <BR/><BR/>My only concern would be that the readers of the write-in votes for Sr. would get confused and give Jr. those votes.<BR/><BR/>I also have to mention that I too came in with a Socialist tag from the recent survey on another blog....just like LWC.Formerly Considered Moderatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00743794031134899118noreply@blogger.com
