Knoxville has been called San Francisco East because of the high gay population. It chaps some peoples asses around here.
But many of them are conservatives. According to the OP i should generalize that the extremists of a political ideology represent the majority of that group. That can't be wrong right? I mean, the OP would never generalize to make his side look better right?
I was born and bred in upper class Nashville broseph, and later I lived in poor as (*)(*)(*)(*) Memphis. The white Conservatives run Tennessee. There is no way around that.
See Jared Laughner, who you leftists tried to pin on conservatives even though he was EMPLOYED by the Giffords team in her re-election effort. I'm just slapping you in the face with your own crap. See how that works?
actually it's the RINO's. Not the conservatives. No way is Haslam a conservative. Nor are Alexander or Corker. I guess you don't count the FACT that the legislature was dominated by the democrat party from reconstruction till 6 years ago. Three divisions of this state. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
You didn't respond to my remark about how your generalizing that the worst part of a party represents the whole of its population. Instead you made a lame straw man. GG
wealthy people will typically follow the party ideology that best suites them, but if they are using this ideology to screw the little guy then they usually run the system from behind the scenes. Which is exactly what happens in Tennessee. Who do you think redirects all the tax dollars that should be going to repairing Memphis, to keeping Nashville the prissy place it is?
Don't worry, about 99% of the liberals on this site said exactly that. It's only different when it's their side accused of being crazy.
The democrats were. Until now. We just took control of the state from them. Even after that turncoat switched parties to become speaker with the backing of the democrats a couple of years ago. He's gone now though. Redistricting will make it almost impossible for them to take it back.
And interestingly enough now that the republicans have rebuilt the way the budget works Tennessee is now in a deficit. GG Also, I am sure you would like that. Did Germany, China, and Russia tell you having only one party in control forever was a good thing?
Ah, no. I have not seen any threads on this forum cheering on the death of the Democratic party while I see countless threads cheering on the death of the Republican party. The quote in my signature itself kills that argument.
I had loads loads of nasty comments from the other side in my sig once to! then a mod made me remove them. :/ One was from a con on this board who said that "people who work in the service industry are no better than dogs, and I treat them as such". Another was from SpeedersRmurderers about how black women are always angry because "They are ugly and stupid and they know it". and many more...
shows how you cling onto stereotypes about the south. Memphis is a highly democrat majority alone. and i dont call a white liberal a racist, just a a spineless self hating idiot with white skin. it kind of goes with being liberal whether you are black or white, liberals hate white people. so yeah, liberals are very racist.
Not really. Half of the party is made up of moderates -- some of whom could run as moderate Republicans, or at least, they could have about 10 years ago. Over the last decade, the GOP has shifted pretty far to the right -- even by American standards.
There's partisanship on both sides, but uh... an unrelated question... You realize the Civil War ended over a century before you were born, right?
No, 150 years and counting of being under the heel of sleazy democrats made me want to never have that happen again.
