Happy Tennessean!

I am a happy Tennessean! As a resident of TN-8, I am pleased that we replaced Demonrat Tanner with Republican Stephen Fincher. I was afraid that Independent Donn Janes would split the conservative/republican vote and get Demonrat Herron elected, but I think there were many of his “supporters” that decided not to be purists and risk electing a Demonrat.

I am disappointed ~but not surprised~ that Pelosi lap dog Cohen wasn’t defeated in TN-9, but he’s definitely been neutered. I knew that Charlotte Bergmann was a long shot, but I was hoping for a miracle. People who live off the taxpayers should not be able to vote themselves a raise.

Tennessee was one of the governorships that flipped from Demonrat to Republican. I hope that Bill Haslam will do Tennessee proud.

All in all a great night for Tennessee and the country.

Charlotte Bergmann Can Win!

Today is the day! Get out and Vote!

TN Ground Report - Election Day 2010

TN Ground Report

It’s a great day here in Memphis! The Memphis area is represented by 3 different Congressional districts: TN-7,8, and 9. The 7th & 8th districts run east to west in the state while the 9th district is most of Memphis.

I am in the 8th district and our Congressman, John Tanner, is a “blue dog” Dem who saw the writing on the wall and is retiring, hence it’s an open seat. I think the Republican primary here was one of the most expensive in the country. The Republican candidate is a farmer named Stephen Fincher. The local Tea Party is supporting an Independent named Don Janes. The Demonrat in this race, Roy Herron, isn’t even identifying himself as a Demonrat. I wasn’t sure who I was going to vote for because I hadn’t heard much about the Independent candidate, but after a couple of back and forths on the Tea Party FB page a couple of weeks ago, I decided to vote for Fincher. Normally, I would support the party backed by the TP, but I also don’t want to split the conservative/Repub vote and elect a Demonrat either. Turns out, the TP claims that 5 of the 8 TP in the district were co-opted by the state Repub party to support Fincher and didn’t give their guy a chance. After the discussion about this, I decided to vote for Fincher. I’m fairly certain, he’ll win.

The race that is really interesting to me is TN9. The majority of the district is AA. It’s considered one of the safest districts for Dems in the country. There was a big primary race in the Dems between the present Demonrat liberal, progressive, oppressive, Steve Cohen and our former mayor “King Willie” Herenton. “King Willie” is all about race. He is the ultimate race baiter and said he ran solely because Memphis needs a black congressman. He’s right, but it just isn't him. He lost to Cohen in the primary, but now Cohen faces a Conservative AA woman named Charlotte Bergmann. Cohen is an arrogant, condescending lap dog for Pelosi. He shut down his campaign headquarters ~he said he moved it to his home ~ in August. See Here He refused to debate Charlotte Bergmann, calling her a minor candidate. It’s a long shot, but I have a feeling Cohen will be singing a different tune this evening.

The Republicans pulled out an upset in the Shelby County races in August. The Dems here are still whining about it. When Charlotte Bergmann wins tonight, it will indeed be an upset of epic proportions. I can’t wait!

Reverse Operation Chaos!

Last week, Rush Limbaugh called for Reverse Operation Chaos. For those Dems that were Hillary supporters to sit home on November 2, to give her the numbers she needs to challenge BO in the primary in 2012. He mentioned the Hillbuzz "Babes" as voting with their feet and putting them up on the coffee table on November 2. What Rush didn't realize is that the Hillbuzz "Babes" are already working on their own Reverse Operation Chaos. They are working independently to defeat Jan Schakowsky by distributing these Palm Cards in her district. They are also publishing "Ground Reports" from all over the country ~and the world~ to help energize those of us working for the Demonrats defeat next Tuesday.

As conservatives, we don't want the Hillbuzz "Babes" to stay home and wait out this election. They are working harder than most Republicans to oust the Demonrats and elect conservatives to D.C. They are all in to defeat ObeyMe and all his cronies.

Here is their Open Letter to Rush explaining why they have their own Reverse Operation Chaos. As a proud reader of Hillbuzz, I am happy to share them with you.

Six Days and Counting!

TN 9 is considered one of the safest districts for Dems in the country. This year, a new face is shaking it up. Charlotte Bergmann and her supporters are giving Cohen a run for his money. Cohen arrogantly, would not debate Charlotte Bergmann and thought that his biggest challenge was beating former mayor "King Willie" in the primary.

The Republicans swept the County elections in August ~and the Dems cried foul!~ and we are motivated in this race. In the third quarter,Charlotte Bergmann has out raised Cohen from individual donors. Cohen has had to start running ads. If we can pull this off, it will be a huge upset. See here for how to help.

My Decision is Made

The November election is just 8 short days away. The Demonrats are pulling out all the stops in order to save their power in D.C. Hang on to your hats girls and boys, because the next few days will be bumpy.

I’m in the TN-8 Congressional district and I’ve been in a quandary about who to vote for; ~have no fear, I won’t be voting for the Demonrat, who isn’t identifying himself as such, ~ but the Mid South Tea Party is backing an independent candidate Don Janes instead of Republican Stephen Fincher. In the primary, I would back the candidate endorsed by the Tea Party, but in the general election I wasn’t so sure. I haven’t received any campaign literature and have only seen 2 signs for Janes. Over the weekend, I got into a discussion on the Mid South Tea Party Facebook page about it. They were going after the Republican Fincher about some questions with his campaign financing. I asked why Janes didn’t run in the primary and noted that he may get the Demonrat elected by splitting the conservative/Republican vote. I also linked to an excellent article by Hillbuzz about third party candidates only helping to elect Demonrats. MSTP replied with “Janes cannot win because YOU STILL TOW THE PARTY LINE...” and some comments about how the state republican party chose Fincher and co-opted 5 of the 8 Tea Parties in TN-8. They also stated that Fincher says he’s conservative, but do we really know?

I’m sure Janes is a nice person. I’m fairly certain that had he run in the Republican primary, I would have supported him, because of the backing of the Mid South Tea Party; however, I’m looking at BIG picture here. The first priority is to get the Demonrats out of power in D.C. Yes, we need to get the Cocktail Party Republicans out of D.C. also, but the way to do that is in the primary like in Delaware and Alaska.

I bet that the same people in the MSTP who are backing Janes over the Republican Fincher is upset that the moderates in the party aren’t backing Christine O'Donnell and that LeNa JaBrowski is mounting a write-in campaign because she was beaten in the primary; what they miss is that they are doing the same thing with their candidate by being purists. We have the opportunity to pick-up a seat here in TN-8. It is an open seat where the retiring CongressCritter is a Demonrat.

The Hillbuzz boyz are former Dems that see the destruction of what their party has done and are doing everything they can to elect conservative Republicans to D.C. How can we as Republicans not do the same thing for our candidates? It’s not the time to let our egos get in the way. We’ll deal with the Cocktail Party Republicans in the next few years. We must put out the fire of the Demonrats this election cycle.

On the Ground Report from Memphis!

I've been published on my favorite political blog Hillbuzz.org It's an on the ground report from Memphis.

Here's the new radio ad from Charlotte Bergmann.



Go Charlotte! You can WHIP the arrogant Pelosi lap dog, Steve Cohen!

What will YOU Do for November?

Here's a great post from my favorite political blog Hillbuzz.org. It's asking what I'm willing to sacrifice to help retake the country in November.

I'm in Memphis. Officially, I'm in the TN-8 congressional district, but I'm working to elect Charlotte Bergmann for TN-9 ~which is the majority of Memphis and one of the "safest" Democrat district in the country.

Here's a link to introduce you to Charlotte Bergmann.

Dems are Afraid to Say Who They Are

I received an interesting piece of mail last week. It was a book named “God and Politics” by a congressional candidate for TN-8. I started reading it. It started out by saying that politics ~the government~ had saved his twins. When his wife was pregnant with their oldest boys, they were advised to abort at least one of them because of a condition that normally resulted in death. They found a specialist who was able to help them bring the babies to birth and then they spent 28 days in the hospital before they could come home. He went on to say that their doctor had gone to a public school and received federally funded grants to do his research that saved the boys. He had several other example of how government funded projects helped save his boys. The implication was that without the government funding, there wouldn’t have been the medical breakthroughs that saved his sons. The question I had in my mind was: How much better would our medicine be if the government was completely out of it. I believe that Free Markets and private charities do a lot better job than the government. The other thought that I had was that this candidate is currently a state legislator. There are issues that state and city governments can and should do that currently the Federal government has stuck its nose into.

After reading a little bit more, I decided to find out what political party this candidate was from. I went to his web-site and could not find it on it. I looked at the letter that came with the book. Nope, it wasn’t there either. I had to do an internet search to find out who the candidates for TN-8 are. Guess what party this gentleman is affiliated with? If you said Democrat, you are right. I thought, how interesting. TN-8 is currently held by John Tanner, a “blue dog” democrat. He’s retiring and the democrat who is running to replace him won’t even admit that he’s a democrat.

I can see November from my house.

Rick Barber get's it. A modern day Patriot.

Is America Worth Fighting For?

Well here it is. The week that the White House says they will pass "HealthCare Reform"; except we know that this current proposal has nothing to do with health care and everything to do with power. We also know that the American people ~you and I~ don’t want it, but that won’t stop the current crop of Democrat leadership in their quest for power. They believe that they know better than us. That we are like children who don’t know what’s good for them. The irony is that they are acting like spoiled children themselves who are upset that they’re not getting their way. They are kicking and screaming to try to get us to change our minds about their plan. They are trying to bribe their members into voting for it; they are trying to intimidate those that don’t agree with them. They don’t want a debate ~because they know they have lost~ so now they will “force” it down our throats with an unconstitutional “rule”. See Slaughter rule.

What are you & I going to do about it? Obama, Reid, and Pelosi think that we are just going to sit back and let it them enslave us. That’s what this bill is about. Enslaving us, our children and our grandchildren. This bill would further cripple our economy and control who gets health care and who doesn’t. Let me ask you a question. Regardless of whether you believe it’s the government’s job to “take care” of its citizens, what does the government do well? What is their track record? Have they ever done anything under budget? Have they ever run anything efficiently? Social Security? Post Office? Medicare? Welfare? Veterans Health Care? The only thing remotely that I can think of is the Military and there are some abuses there, but that where I’m willing to pay for some inefficiency.

The Democrats have come out and admitted that the reason they want taxpayer funded abortion is that less people will be cheaper for the rest of us. “If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more”. See here.Unbelievable. Obviously children cost money, but is that really a justification for not having them?

My plan this week is to fax Congress critters and let them know that what they are attempting is both unconstitutional and treasonous. They will be held accountable by Americans that love this country.

What are YOU going to do to defend this country this week?

Happy New Year!

Well, 2009 is over and it’s time to look at 2010. Many of us are glad that 2009 is over. It’s been a tough year ~emotionally, financially, and physically~ for many, if not all, of us. The good news is that no matter what happened in 2009, it’s done. I am looking forward to 2010; a new beginning; a fresh beginning.

While many of us make New Year’s Resolutions ~ that last until January 10, ~ it is a good time to Evaluate where we are and where we want to go. I have heard ~from my Amway days~ that a goal is a dream with a date. There’s power in writing down what we want to accomplish and what action we are going to take to make it happen.

I was listening to a life coach last week and he had a great way to evaluate where we are and where we want to get to. First, make a big circle on a blank piece of paper and divide it into 8 wedges. Next, label each wedge with the following categories: Financial; Health; Spouse; Most important relationships; Spirituality/Personal Grown; Fun; Physical Environment; Career. Take a few minutes and rate each piece of the pie. Evaluate where your life is right now. Now imagine what your life would look like if each area were a 10. What would be different? From there, write out what are you going to do to strive towards a 10 in each area. These are your intentions. These are your action steps towards your goals. Go ahead, write them down.

I’m going to use the area of Physical Environment as my example. Right now, I would rate my Physical Environment/home as a 4. Housekeeping is not my strength. My house is in CHAOS ~Can’t Have Anyone Over~. I want to change that. I want a home that is 15 minutes from company. What am I willing to change in my life to accomplish that goal? Well, first of all, I am not going to go to bed unless my sink is clean. Second, I’m going to get to bed by 10:30 p.m. every night so that I can get up in the morning and have some quiet time to myself before getting my girls up and ready for school. I’m going to have to find a DVD that I can tape my British Sitcoms that I watch from 10:00 – 11:00 every night. I’m also going to clean off my counters and keep them clutter free. You get the idea.

Take some time today to Evaluate where you are and where you want to be at the end of 2010. Tomorrow, we’ll talk about Eliminating those habits or things in our lives that may hinder us from reaching where we want to be. I’m off to clean my kitchen.

Happy New Year!
