Excerpt from article: UP AND DOWN WITH TENNESSEE'S DEMOCRATS
Although in Tennessee, as elsewhere, Democrats have in rrecent years suffered constant attrition as isolated cadres and candidates have drifted over to the Republican side, most of those who remain, even the most rightward-leaning, maintain stout party loyalties.
Take another Blue Dog luminary, 8th District congressman John Tanner of Union City, who nursed a libation in his hotel room at the Hilton Tuesday night and professed outrage at Bush and the GOP as the bad news from national contests streamed across the bottom of his TV screen.
“Those people ought to be arrested and tried for fraudulence!” Tanner said. “They took our minds off what was important, the economy, and sold us a bill of goods about Iraq. The idea, trying to convince us that a two-bit tin-horn dictator with 20 million starving people was a threat like Adolf Hitler! They don’t have any weapons to bother us with! The whole thing was an election fraud. Nothing but!”
There were two bottom lines to this exclamation by Tanner (than whom there are few more conservative Democrats in the whole of the House of Representatives): (1) that – at some level of reality, anyhow -- party loyalty is still live and well; (2) that, in the long run, economic factors of the sort that Tanner regarded as having been obfuscated by an artificial war fever are still bedrocks of the Democrats’ constituency.
If you would like to let Mr. Tanner know what you think, his web address is: Congressman John Tanner - 8th Congressional District of Tennessee
“Those people ought to be arrested and tried for fraudulence!”
Rrrrring!
"Hello?"
Ummm, yes. Hello, Pot?
Yes, this is Pot.
Good. This is Kettle. How are you?
Fine. Fine. How are you?
I'm fine. Thanks for asking. Oh, by the way....your black.
“Those people ought to be arrested and tried for flatulence!”

Hey, John -- not until after we put the 8-year fraud Blowjob Billy on trial for selling nuclear secrets to the CHICOMs for campaign cash (and other crininal acts of that corrupt administration).
I would simply tell Mr. Tanner to KEEP IT UP!
We need more Democrats accusing Bush of being a traitor and starting a war with Saddam to 'protect his daddy's oil money.'
The more they talk like this, the more they sound like the permanent minority party.
Mr. Tanner, do you think the majority of Democrats who tripped over each other on their rush to approve the Bush Resolution on Iraq two weeks before the election should also be arrested for aiding and abetting the "fraudulence"?
