That way, you could carry your own sword, put a few GOP scalps around your waist and return in one of the ways you suggested. Maybe Hollywood could eventually do a remake of _300_ and call it THE ONE! I can see images of the Cracker standing alone on the banks of the Cumberland or Tennessee Rivers (Mississippi, as you suggested, is safe from the invaders), fending off the slings, arrows and deadly fortunes of non-Shakespearean inspired, Persian-imitating Republicans and giving the timid souls of Nashville, Knoxville and Hamilton County time to gather their full strength for the coming onslaught. You might be returned home on what is left of your shield, but every mother from Sparta, Tennessee would be proud to hang a picture of THE ONE in her living room. Right next to their framed Sports Illustrated cover that proclaims "Tiger Heaven: memphis wins NCAA Football National Championship!" <br />Ah, the joys of streaming through the ironic bounds of one's own conscience.callmeishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487928923226189314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-22987472615099395202009-12-15T10:32:19.636-06:002009-12-15T10:32:19.636-06:00This is the problem with using the state party app...This is the problem with using the state party apparatus as a Bredesen-reelect combine. I've been saying this for at least six years. <br /><br />So for all of you Chipinista whisperers who may be trolling here: kiss my adopted Dixie white ass. You churn out 95 counties for Bredesen but fail to build a bench. What now? What next? Nothing. There is no Plan B. <br /><br />We don't have fighters in elected positions in this party. We have weevils. We have grubworms. We have a wriggling mass of muck-eating invertebrates who go running for cover the moment that someone kicks over the rotting stump and a little light is shone upon them. <br /><br />I want to like Gordon more than I do, and my feeling about him had been that he could be reached, he could be reasoned with, etc. He seemed less doctrinaire in his Blue Dog alliance than, say, a Lincoln Davis (a man who I still can't figure out why he just doesn't pull the ol' party switcheroo). Now, it's apparent to me that he's just a quitter; a blob of goo that yells "surrender!" at the first whiff of a fight. You know, like Sarah Palin. <br /><br />Not to worry, though. Gordon is probably going to embark on a career in law-making. He'll make an effective lobbyist for someone, no doubt. So, you know, maybe he'll actually write some legislation for once.Andy Axelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067797034223846786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-66018903342512669742009-12-14T12:39:08.614-06:002009-12-14T12:39:08.614-06:00Who do you think comes out of the Tracy-Zelenik sc...Who do you think comes out of the Tracy-Zelenik scrap, or will there be more GOP folks jumping in?Steve Steffenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104688163653632284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-84993889920960488262009-12-14T12:29:05.050-06:002009-12-14T12:29:05.050-06:00She probably won't do it but pretty much the o...She probably won't do it but pretty much the only democrat with name id I know of that could win the 6th is Senator Burks. The rest of them will almost certainly be eaten alive next year. Charlie Cook has already moved this seat to the likely Republican category.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
