Former TN Supreme Court Judge endorsing Lamar Alexander

[Rightwinger]

Several of you have probably heard former State Justice George Brown's endorsement of Lamar Alexander. I guess you take your endorsments where you can but I always look a little deeper at things and determined this is a little microcosm of our society.

Judge Brown is an African American, he says so in the ad. He was the first African American appointed to the State Supreme court, appointed by Lamar. He also states that Lamar helped get another African Amercian appointed to the board of directors of TVA.

All good so far, if they were the best men for the job, right on!

Then it goes south....He then proceeds to tell us that after he votes for President, he is going to vote to send "his friend" Lamar Alexander back to the Senate. Hmmm....so your only voting for him because he's your friend? There is no statment that he endorses him for his platform...other than the connection that he supports black men for office.

So a democrat, and the unspoken statement is he will vote for O, then turn around and vote for a republican, doesn't state any solid basis, facts or history on why he's voting for Lamar other than "his friend" got him his position as a justice! He's crossing party lines because of his friendship, not because of Lamar's concepts of politics or platform.

I'm sorry, I could not vote for any true liberal, even if they had been my former boss or gotten me a great job. You either have a believe standard that is what your are 24/7/365 or you have no standards.

Anyone else heard the advertisment?

maybe he's just being bi-partisan?

I haven't heard or seen this ad. Seems really odd.

I know its playing quite a bit on 104.5 The Zone but I did flip to 105.7 this morning some too on the drive in to catch some JB&B. May have been on both.

Bi-partisan means that rare occassion when both sides will support and believe in the same thing. Some of those subjects being

Breathing

Sleeping

uh, thats about all they both really agree on for Americans.

couldn't even do the eating thing as the libs who don't care if you boink your brains out and get disease or contribute to a pregnancy will hammer you if you serve or eat saturated fats in New York.
