About Ford Jr., he's not quite a liberal like his father. He's actually one of the 'Blue Dog' Democrats, the moderate-conservative faction of Democrats in the House. He'd be a formidable challenger to anyone the GOP decides to run now that Thompson is out. I gotta tell ya, from way out here on the Left Coast, Ford comes across as a very attractive candidate. Although he's a Dem, he's not a rabid, raving turn-off like a lot of the Libs (both male and female come to mind: Charlie Rangel, Barbara Boxer, Mikulski, and that ilk).
He's nice-looking, articulate, and sounds reasonable. Again, I'm not a Tennessee voter, so maybe I should keep my big trap shut, but this guy is so mediagenic, that I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull it off with good campaign managers and the support of the DNC.

The ACU gave him a conservative rating of "8" in 2001. In 2000, it was "24". His lifetime rating is "12". Again Ford is a liberal, and doesn't have a conservative bone in his body! Just because he comes across as a nice guy on the idiot box, doesn't entitle him to receieve kudos here on FreeRepublic. Let's get real.
Here's a link to his voting record at ACU website.

JR. is a smooth operator...he's not the moderate dem he poses to be. PURE LIBERAL party liner from what I see. So far his families fingers in the State till have not stuck on him. Believe me his family has lots of skeletons in it's closet where that is concerned. Daddy's fingers are in the TennCare till right now. http://www.gomemphis.com/mca/local_news/article/0,1426,MCA_437_1020031,00.html

No offense dear....but your admiration for little Ford seems grounded in feminine affection and emotive reasoning. He comes from a vile vile family regardless of his cuteness and charisma.....he just seems moderate compared to his tribe: Black Urban Dem Race Hustlers.

He's nice-looking, articulate, and sounds reasonable. Sure, he sounds reasonable but then so does Dasshole. Ford is just another Lying, Stinking DemocRAT, just a bit more subtle than most.
