I only know of Bob Corker what I can find in the press and on the web. Everything I can find puts him squarely and solidly within the conservative ranks. So please help educate those of us outside of the Volunteer State. The Senate is of great import to all of us, and defeating Mr. Ford should be a priority.

I hate the term RINO, I find it divisive and think that it plays into the hands of the left, but I digress. What I would like to ask is this...
- Which position(s) of Mr. Corker's make him anything less than a conservative?
- In what areas do you find him lacking?

Bob Corker was once a Democrat, and not a conservative Democrat who switched parties out of principal, but an opportunist who changed positions.

He helped shape then-Gov. Don Sundquist's disastrous fiscal policies (including instituting a state income tax) and tried to thwart pro-life legislation. He only recently embraced pro-life views, out of political expediency.

Ed Bryant is the best candidate in the running, both ideologically and geographically.

Corker raised taxes on hotels in Chattanooga and he used to be less pro-life than he is now. Other than that, there isn't much to hang on him. The truth is, folks just don't know whether he will be a staunch conservative or a wishy-washy "compassionate" conservative. They are afraid that he will be the later, and I don't blame them. He does not have a well defined record. Being the mayor of Chattanooga is fairly small-time.

Corker is campaigning as a hardcore conservative, so everything he says and all of his campaign commericals make him seem very conservative. His history is of a tax and spend liberal and pro-choicer. Still better than Ford, but that isn't saying much.

Corkers ha$ load$ of $$$$$$ however...

Corker will be conservative.
