« Happy Hanukkah | Main | Gov. Pass-the-Buck » December 7, 2007Bredesen: Democrats Corrupt Because They've Been in Power A Long Time
"The Democrats have been in power longer," Bredesen said. "And I think anytime you have anybody in power longer, these kinds of things develop with a few people."A few? A fourth of the Democratic Senate Caucus has had to resign due to corruption charges. Kathryn Bowers took a bribe. Ward Crutchfield took a bribe. John Ford took a bribe. Jerry Cooper - the most recent to resign - took $95,000 that didn't belong to him. Three bribe-takers and a thief. A quarter of the Democrat Senate Caucus. If Tennesseans want less corruption in their state legislature, they need to vote for a Republican majority in November 2008. Just ask Gov. Phil Bredesen. Posted in Tennessee Government News

Bribery. Theft. Fraud. Drunk Driving. Corruption. That's the face of the Tennessee Democrat Party these days, and the lead Tennessee Democrat, Gov. Phil Bredesen, says the root of the culture of corruption gripping his party's state legislative caucus is the long time that they have been in power. Really.
