Default Sen. Robert Corker, R-Tenn, Wall Street bailout shill

It was interesting to see the performance of Robert Corker, Tennessee Senator this morning on TV, doing everything he can to promote the Wall Street bailout. I tried to get to his website to leave him a note reminding him to be sure to pick up his thirty pieces of silver on the way out, because if I know Tennesseeans, they'll probably run him out of their state for this sickening betrayal of the free economy of a free people.

But, gee, you can't even get to his website this morning.... I wonder if this is because it is already so busy with others expressing their opinions, or, more likely, whether his staff decided to shut the thing down rather than be drowned in the mounting fury of righteously angry Tennesseeans.

TN missed the boat when they voted for Corker rather than Harold Ford. I guess the RNC smear ad was too much for Tennesseans

I wrote Corker and told him to vote no. And he's a Rethug!

I too am a Tennessee resident and wrote him this morning. I feel that my request is in vane, but in these times, every measure we have to impose our will on the governing process must be excercised.

I cannot understand how when it is the private citizens of this nation which make it the best in the world are not being utilized during this trying time. A petition has started and the signatures of those possessing our greatest economic minds have begun to sign it, yet our government ignores their expertise.
