TN GOP out of Lock-Step With Their Party

May 16, 2008 by archrone

Does the TN GOP march to it’s own drummer? Apparently, it does.

The Tennessee Republican Party “welcomed” Michelle Obama’s visit for a fundraiser Thursday with an online video that takes the Democratic presidential front-runner’s wife to task for a comment some considered unpatriotic.

Obama was campaigning in Wisconsin last February for her husband, Barack Obama, when she said: “For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country.”

The four-minute video posted on YouTube is built around the remark, replaying it six times and interspersing it with commentary by Tennesseans, identified mostly by their first names, on why they are proud of America.

These are the same folks that were scolded by the RNC for their previous attacks on Obama. And, to show that these tactics are not new to the TNGOP, these are the same tactics used against Harold Ford Jr during the senate race in 2006.

Maybe one day soon these people will decide to join the human race. Note to the rest of the nation — not everyone in TN feels the same way as this embarrassing group.

Sigh.

    Nah, they’re perfectly in lockstep with the RNC and John McCain. See, they get to have their cake and eat it too this way — little Tennessee group does something “outrageous,” national group and candidate gets to “condemn” it. But it’s too late. It’s already out there, and getting repeated over and over and over again. All according to plan.

    newswriter, that seems to me to be too complex of a plan for this little group.
