Went to the Harold Ford Jr. rally this morning.
Never would have bet this mountain woman would be standing at Five Points listening to a Memphis Ford endorse tax cuts for corporations to create jobs.
Times are a'changing.

Never would have bet this

Bless her heart I bet she still votes republican!
Sure you're not talking
Sure you're not talking about this? I've heard him mention it several times in stump speeches. I'd be pretty amazed if he were "in favor of cutting taxes for corporations," given that he's voted aplenty against Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and for balanced budgets.
Ah, we can cut Sandra some
Ah, we can cut Sandra some slack for a) going to the Ford rally, and b) posting about it here. And in her own crafty way, she may actually be trying to help Harold out with this post talking about "tax cuts."
And Coach: Sandra can vote a Republican ticket if she wants. Last time I checked, this is still a free country, despite the best efforts of people like you to say otherwise.
(Besides, I voted a straight Republican ticket for the first time: Bredesen, Ford, and Duncan!)

Not a clue who Sandra is, but I think the post about voting was aimed at the MOUNTAIN woman. Anyone have a clue what a MT. woman is?
OH heavens yes she can, but
OH heavens yes she can, but if you will dash back I think she was saying the Mountain Woman was going to vote for Jr.
Come on, all the Mountain women I know live in 400K cabins in the hills around Townsend and yep they be rich cute republican ladies.
If you ever get out to play (golf) Laurel Valley is wonderful, lots of Mountain Woman T it up there, last time I played the former GOv and his wife were behind us and she was flat killing the man!
saw u 4 a sec
lota fired up folks to c jr @ 5-points this morning...& im glad u were there..
Bill, did I hear that you
Bill, did I hear that you just retired? If so, congratulations on a long and successful career in coaching, but praise you most as being a dedicated teacher.
not the bill young
i'm the other bill young:not the bill young who played football for tn...marvin west a while back was askin about past tn bowl games...so i sent an e mail talkin about the '68 orange bowl,the bill young played in it..west sent me an e-mail talkin about the fun we had had on vacation...he thought i was the bill young..im not
i'm the other bill
i'm the other bill young
Well, congratulations to you sir for having a good name.
self evisceration
Wow. It is definitely better to burn out than it is to rust.
Coach caught his intestines in the blender and didn't get to the shut-off switch in time. Fine entertainment.
English 101
Dude, you really NEED to work on the old reading comprehension.
She said, "Never would have bet this mountain woman would be standing at Five Points listening to a Memphis Ford endorse tax cuts for corporations to create jobs."
Now, if you had paid attention in English class in high school you would have understood that she was speaking about herself in the third person. It's a literary device to draw attention to her central thought that she was listening to a Democrat talk about cutting taxes for corporations.
It's not a bad device to use unless you don't know when to quit, like some other poster of a blog that shall remain nameless, if not third-personless.
"You can't fix stupid..." Ron White
Scary, But True
Our host says: (Besides, I voted a straight Republican ticket for the first time: Bredesen, Ford, and Duncan!)
That's funny 'cause it's true...almost. I think I shall steal this line and use it at my next family gathering when the Republican branch of my family (suddenly less eager to discuss politics than in the past, by the way. Strange. I wonder why?) asks if I've ever voted for their team.
some place you'r running here
