Any ideas on how we can get people registered to vote?  For instance they need will a photo ID, how can the TNDP or the County party accomplish this?

We have got to develop a plan for the future!

There are forces against us, but we must learn to overcome those obstacles while we stand strong through our unique diversity for our love of Tennessee's people, land and opportunities.

Hey Jason I am still awaiting your response to this one from a few days ago:
Please tell me Jason where in the Constitution does the Federal Government get either the AUTHORITY or the OBLIGATION to bail out ANY private industry. Government at the Federal Level is not allowed by the constitution to do the things it has been doing relating to the redistribution of this nations wealth by taking from those that produce and giving it to those that either do not produce or produce foolishly.

Please answer me one thing, that is simply this. Where does the Federal Government get the authority to that which it did with relation to GM?

Please be specific.

Jason Says: " I always thought it was a politicians and the unions job to protect the workers in the factories. Politicians should be public servants of the people. This is what a politician is paid to do.

Hey Jason what about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Do you not have any responsibility for supporting, protecting, and educating your own family? The problem today is that far too many people are expecting the government to provide their cradle to grave security by taking from those that are willing to work and make good on their own and give the fruits of others labor to the leaches of society. That is the foundational problem with Liberalism. They want no personal responsibility but they want to leech off of the labors of others. That is why Liberalism has always failed because sooner or later they always run out of other peoples money.

It is August 17th. Marsha Blackburn has not responded to the call for a public debate from the Rabidoux campaign and people of District 7. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeCaWDO6TY8

Jason Says: "Government money is necessary to make improvements for GM. GM is going through a tough time not only because of mistakes that they made but because of the economy. When I said that they are a profitable cooperation, I meant that they are profitable at the current time. "

Please tell me Jason where in the Constitution does the Federal Government get either the AUTHORITY or the OBLIGATION to bail out ANY private industry. Government at the Federal Level is not allowed by the constitution to do the things it has been doing relating to the redistribution of this nations wealth by taking from those that produce and giving it to those that either do not produce or produce foolishly.

Jason Says:"They will say that GM is not a profitable cooperation. GM is a profitable cooperation. They have made improvements."

If GM were profitable then they would not have needed to take Government Money. Trust me Government Recommendations is Not Necessarily an Improvement.

WHO AM I?



· I was born in one country, raised in another.

· My father was born in another country.

· I was not his only child.

· He fathered several children with numerous women.

· I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.

· My mother died at an early age from cancer.

· Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father, not my mother.

· Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

· My birth records were sketchy.

· No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

· I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country.

· I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

· I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.

· That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life, and I embarked on a new career.

· I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.

· It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

· I became active in local politics in my 30's then, with help behind the scenes,

· I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s.

· They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.

· I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.

· Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.

· I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.

· This bolstered my ego.

· At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy.

· I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

· But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy.

· I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.

· I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.

· It was the free market, banks and corporations.

· I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

· I called mine "A People's Campaign".

· That sounded good to all people.

· I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.

· I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could ‘change’ our country and the world.

· So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities".

· My true views were not widely known and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.

· I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.

· I'm glad they didn't.

· Then I became the most powerful man in the world.

· And the world learned the truth.



Who am I?

ADOLF HITLER of course

You are absolutely correct that there are many people that have no business in college, and they would be much better off were they to learn a trade. My technical training provided me well for over 30 years and got me a great retirement to boot. However one can not expect the good factory jobs to return when they have been spoiled with less government intrusion and cheaper labor costs of offshore sites as they have been. Our own government has made the environment for just about any business so hostile that I don't think that we can ever recover without wholesale dismantling so many of our ridiculous government regulations.

A Public Apology to Candidate Ben Leming Tennessee 6th District


On July 19 I began to publicly request of Mr. Leming some documentation to demonstrate that he has in fact voted during his 15 year hiatus to serve in the USMC.


On the day I obtained the copy of his new registration from the Rutherford County Election Commission I was told that what they had presented to me was all that they were in possession of at the Election Commission.


Well the fine ladies at the election commission went back into their filed archives and they did in fact provide to my satisfaction that Mr. Leming has in fact participated in election through the Rutherford County Election Commission.


Therefore I most humbly apologize to Mr. Leming in the same open forums in which I brought forth what turned out to be erroneous information. On the day I requested the initial information from the commission they were all as busy as bees during the first day of early voting and I did receive responses to my inquiries by three individual employees. It is very easy to understand that they provided to me information that was in error.


I will be going by Mr. Leming's Office to shake his hand look him in the eye and tell him I am sorry to his face.


While I maintain that Mr. Leming is not a good choice to replace Mr. Gordon as Congressman in the 6th district I can not say that his voting record is a reason to disqualify him for such a seat.


I continue to charge that Mr. Leming is just a paper doll cutout of the Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid Liberals that have not only damaged our party they have steered our government hard to the left and if we do not work to correct the programs they have forced upon the district and the nation in the past 18 months we may not be able to recover at all.

To see the Contrasts between me and Ben, Please see my issues pages of my web site at:
