He is an example of someone who will do anything to gain access to power including changing his views on key platforms. This type of representation we can do without. He seems like many of his ilk, the failed flawed scion of a political family, who is not as good as his parent.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13153788587251235041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949695397805914430.post-51024829043153216832010-01-26T08:53:08.977-05:002010-01-26T08:53:08.977-05:00I like Harold Ford.

There are so many forces stacked against him (particularly Chuckles Schumer) that it would seem to be a herculean task before him. But if anyone can do it, he can. he's a smart guy and a good guy.<br /><br />That being said, a lot of people who should know better are predicting that 2010 will be a Republican year. They aren't paying attention. The extremists within that party will only continue to destroy it. Anyone who thinks that 2010 is going to be a Republican year had better think again. The Tea Party knuckleheads are already taking credit for the Massachusetts upset last week and are set (they believe) to take over the party. When they are denied the opportunity to do that, they'll splinter the vote with third or even fourth party uprisings.<br /><br />How am I so sure of this? It's quite simple, really. These people are not only crazy, they're dumber than doggy dung. It's only a matter of months before their mad house of cards comes crashing down.<br /><br />http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com<br /><br /> Tom Degan<br />Goshen, NYTom Deganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911175264811957550noreply@blogger.com
