All funds in the Tax-me-more account shall be
allotted solely for the prevention of abortion and for alternatives to abortion.

Cool, like free birth control and vasectomies for low-income families? Comprehensive sex education in public schools? Whom do I write the check to?

Probably not what Stacey X has in mind.

I'll skip the middle man and send a check here instead.

I hate to correct our fine host here, but to say "Campfield is a clown, again" implies that Stacey X did, at some point, stop behaving like a clown and has now resumed that behavior.

I don't believe that's true.

Stacey was a clown, remains a clown, and will continue to be a clown. The question is whether the voters of his district will continue to tolerate his asinine representation of them in the Tennessee Legislature.

Let's hope not.

You know, it's too bad Campfield doesn't look at the whole picture. Right now, he's trying to reduce abortions and make it illegal for schools to tell kids about homosexuality.

And yet, no gay folks every got their same-sex partners pregnant. No oops pregnancies, many fewer abortions.

You'd think he'd be advocating that people not have sex until they're ready to have children, but, if they must, to only have gay sex.

Ha ha.

It's just unbelievable that Tennessee Republicans would perform such blatant wastes of time.

If only they could be like the Democrats in Congress and use weeks of legislative time and hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on important topics like...

Baseball.

Or perhaps debate other topics that the Democrats in the General Assembly thought important last year, like...

Al Gore and Justin Timberlake.

Proclamations are made all the time by everybody. Big deal. Campfield's bills would leave a permanent stain all over the TCA.

Last December, Republicans in Congress introduced a resolution noting the significance of Christmas and the Christian faith, which eventually passed, blurring the lines between church and state — and they’re at it again, attempting to rewrite American history and further the lie that America is a Christian nation.
