Tennessee Campaign Billboards

(Hat tip: JHD via Email) TEXT: These messages will be going up on an electronic billboard on HWY 321 in Lenoir City, TN starting 1 OCT. It was a private project funded by private donations. It will be interesting to see what the reaction will be. The ads will start to run October 1. (The only thing that is missing from the ads is the "Paid for by," (the disclaimer is in very small print.)

We don't know if the details in the email are true or current (copyright shows 2011 and a date indicates the 2012 elections) but click the 'read more' to see if you like the billboard messages.

Barone: To Get a Mandate, GOP Must Win Another Election

By Michale Barone
Those who consider themselves constitutional conservatives should take care to consider not only the powers that the Constitution confers on the different branches of government and reserves to the states and the people, but also the schedule that the Constitution sets up for sharp changes and reversals of public policy.

Freedom Line BLOG: 2012 the Year of the Senate?

CFIF FREEDOM LINE, 4/9/2011 by Ashton Ellis: The (British) Guardian promotes an interesting theory about the 2012 electoral cycle: maybe Republicans should focus more on winning the Senate than the presidency. Here’s the rationale:

And here’s more potential bad news: in 2014, another 20 Senate Democrats are up for re-election, compared to just 14 Republicans. That means over two successive election cycles, 43 Democrats – 80% of those currently in office – must defend their Senate seats, compared to just 24 Republicans. Could the GOP end up with a 60-vote super-majority of its own, just two years before laying siege to the White House in a post Obama contest? Read more at Freedom Line...

Herman Cain Mulling Presidential Run

7/30/2010 by John Eidson (via email/PART 1) - WorldNetDaily reports that tea party activist Herman Cain is considering a campaign to become America's second black president by ousting its first in the election two years from now. (Actually, Cain would be the country's first 100% black president.) ∴ Although unable to match then-Sen. Barack Obama's impressive presidential qualifications -- 20 years as a community organizer -- Cain has a few of his own: former president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza, former president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association,and chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City. He's also been vice president of Burger King, vice president of Pillsbury Company, a mathematician for the U.S. Department of the Navy and a business analyst for Coca Cola. ∴ His formal education includes a bachelors degree in mathematics from Morehouse College and a master's degree in computer science from Purdue University.

A man in love with his country...
The indignities of growing up in a segregated society gave Herman Cain every reason to be filled with hate and bitterness. But much to his credit, he never allowed himself to be influenced by people who see America as a fundamentally unjust and incurable racist place, people like William Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Recognizing that no nation has ever done more to make good on wrongs committed against it own citizens, Herman Cain forged his share of the American dream by seeing his country for what it is -- a land of unlimited opportunity that never stops trying to improve. To judge him for yourself, click here to see him discuss the hardships his parents endured, and his full-throated endorsement of Ronald Reagan's belief that America is the last best hope of mankind.

Is the tea party movement racist?
If anyone should know, that person is Herman Cain -- he is one of the tea party's most prominent members. Read what he has to say here. Read More......

NRO: The Battle Is Lost, and the War Has Begun

NRO/CRITICAL CONDITION, 3/22/2010 by Jeffrey H. Anderson - [Excerpt] James Madison’s words cannot be repeated often enough: “The cool and deliberate sense of the community ought, in all governments, and actually will, in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of its rulers.” The American people don’t want Obamacare, and the will of the American people will ultimately prevail over the will of their rulers — starting in November. ∴ Repeal will be achieved through a three-step process: First, the vast majority of Americans who oppose Obamacare will elect members to Congress who will actually reflect their views. Second, they will elect a president who will actually reflect their views. Third, this new Congress and new president will repeal the overhaul. (Remember, only 1 percent of Obamacare — based on its projected costs over the next ten years — will have kicked in by then.) Read full post at National Review Online... Read More......
