One of Tennessee’s favorite sons, Davy Crockett, coined an oft-used phrase: “Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”
Being sure is quite important, but may be difficult in this election cycle.
The Democratic nominee campaigning against Lamar Alexander is a man whose radio ads call for “change,” “fair” taxes and more jobs. Sounds good, huh?
Whether in 2008 or 2012, Barack Obama’s soaring rhetoric, now parroted by the Democrat Gordon Ball, was rejected soundly. Rejected because voters have seen the Tennessee-two step before – talking like a downhome, commonsense leader during the campaign only to march in lockstep once elected with big-spending, big-government politicians committed to redistribution and “fairness” – taking from those who work and earn to give to the able-bodied who won’t.
Financially supporting John Kerry, John Edwards, Harold Ford, Jr, along with a list of Democratic political action committees with a sum of 5-figures further establishes Ball’s leanings.
Tennessee voters want leaders committed to getting our country turned around in the right direction and stopping the never-ending politicking modeled by Barack Obama.
Using Davy Crockett’s logic, voters can be sure they’re right in the U.S.
Senate race. Go ahead, vote for Lamar Alexander.
