"Part of the problem is we are conducting a statewide election right now," Thompson said Monday. "We've got a thousand things going on. Early voting starts in two days. I don't think I can give you a timetable."Firing offense number 2: Mr. Thompson also admits to not knowing basic information relevant to his job: Social security numbers don't start with nine, eight, 666 and 000. In addition, all zeroes aren't used in the second or third series of digits, according to the Social Security Administration.Not aware of it?!! He should have been - after all, it's part of his job, and the information is easily found on the Social Security Administration's website. And Thompson shouldn't have to be trying now to fit a search into his busy schedule - the voter registration database should be set up to automatically flag and kick out any registration submitted with a fraudulent number. It isn't because Brook Thompson isn't doing his job. Posted in Tennessee Government News

Just like other political appointees, Thompson must believe the citizenry are too occupied and too ignorant to know what is involved in this search. Give me 1 minute, access and a database login and I'll have the results sorted in any order you want. He should be fired now. Bryson needs to take this opportunity to point out that Bredesen has surrounded himself with alleged criminals and incompetency. If Bredesen gets reelected the corruption of his administration will grow worse. Posted by: Rick Forman at October 17, 2006 11:05 AMBrooke Thompson has always been a democrat through and through. Any pretense that he could be impartial in the handling of his job is ridiculous. Democrats don't want to regulate voting because their base will be cut by 5%. What's so hard about obtaining an ID to vote. You need one for your car, your job, your SS check, to cash a check, to get a checking account, to buy alcohol, to buy cigarettes, to get into clubs, to buy a car, to buy a home, to rent a car, to rent a home, to rent movies, to rent furniture, to get a check advance, to get a title loan, to buy or rent pornography, etc. If you don't have the ability to get an ID you probably can't fog a mirror. Sorry if Grizzly Adams is disinfranchised. Posted by: bartman at October 17, 2006 11:56 AMPost a comment
