A bit old, but I had to post it after seeing a debate between Ford and Corker. Corker was asked about becoming pro-life after formerly having been pro-abortion. Ford dodged by not mentioning abortion once in his rebuttal.

Is this the same guy who says he's an attorney but never took the bar exam?

All liberals do that when they are talking to conservative voters, and they pull it off by saying they are personally pro life (i.e., they don't believe people should have an abortion) but they believe a woman has a right to choose. It is the old Clinton triangulation. Kerry tried the same thing. It is the old liberal trick of lying or misleading the public about what they really stand for.

And the crappy thing is that the "swing voters" will believe his lies! Damn Van Hilleary for not pulling out thus giving Corker the nomination.

Hillary Clinton is trying the same thing. She thinks we should reduce abortions, etc. and thus she is trying to sound like she is pro life, yet she votes pro choice 100%, even partial abortion (she would saw the head of an 8 month old baby in a partial birth abortion).

The bottom line is that even if Ford were pro life, which he is not, a vote for him could put the democrats in power and the democrat party is pro choice--not pro life. Anyone who does not see that is an idiot.

The good people of Tennessee must understand that Jr. doesn't take a leak without first checking with daddy. The mouth is moving, but it is Pop's voice you hear.

The Republican Primary was a three-way race between Bryant, Corker, and Van Hilleary. The Conservative vote was split between Bryant and Van Hilleary, allowing Corker to win.

A lot of us think Bryant would have made a much better candidate in the General Election than Corker.

Oh. I wanted Van Hilleary to win. I still think Corker isn't a horrible choice, at least compared to plenty of Republicans being run this year (Kean, Topinka, Chafee, Schwarzennegger, Poizner, etc.)

He's hiding from his record. The only reason the race is competitive is that he has such a lousy opponent.

I hope that Van Hilleary never holds public office again and that if he ever runs for anything, he loses the primary by a landslide.

This guy seems to be a John F'n Kerry in the making. Kerry served in VietNam, you know.

Bryant was a true conservative running for the seat. Van Hilleary joined the race, giving two fairly conservative choices. Either would likely have been fine, but Bryant seemed to be out ahead. Corker, a RINO, entered the race and spent tons of his own money to pull ahead and win. If Van Hilleary had dropped out and left only one conservative, Bryant would have won hands down.

Aside from the fact that the majority of the votes that were for VH would have gone to Bryant, many of the votes for Corker were because they believed his line that he had the best chance against Ford. (Bryant did better in polls against Ford.) And we have open primaries, since it was close, some Democrats crossed over to vote for someone they thought Ford could beat.

'Fancy' is an understatement for this guy. His could give a whole new definition to 'slick'. He should try to get on Hillary!'s ticket and put the slick back in the Clinton name.
