Calling All Patriots—
Tea Party Protest at Corker’s Nashville Office Today
What’s going on with Senator Corker? Lately, it’s hard to say. As someone who touts himself as a conservative, he seems to be putting an awful lot of effort into helping push the Obama-Dodd “financial reform” bill.
He’s nearly called his Republican colleagues liars when they pointed out the bailout portions of this bill—statements that have now been used repeatedly by the far left to attack Republicans fighting against this next government takeover.
His denials that a bailout is in the bill have come eerily close to Obama’s own sleight of hand maneuvers—focus on the $50 billion slush fund created by taxing banks but skip right over the part of the bill that gives the Fed unlimited bailout authority.
So, Tea Party patriots in Tennessee are going to visit his office this afternoon. If you’re in the Nashville area, please join them:
What: Tea Party Protest
When: Thursday, April 22 @ 5:00pm
Where: Office of Senator Bob Corker
3322 West End Ave., Suite 610
Nashville, TN 37203

I dunno…ever since TARP this guy has seemed RINO-ish…another rep thinking we are rubes..

Why not open the books on Fannie may and Freddie max and see who they was paying off.
Greg commented:
The civil suit against Goldman Sachs is not the only planned attck to demonstrate that the Obama Govt is sincere and needs the new financial slush fund bill for more power to regulate. This mornings San antonio Express had a full page General Motors ad describing how they paid their debt in full to the Fed govt with interest 5 years early. The ad does not describe the amount but other sources describe it as 13 % of the 60 plus billion dollars the govt gave GM. This is what happens when nationalization occurs. Truth disappears in favor of the regime needs.

In that picture, he looks like defense lawyer John Gibbons from “My Cousin Vinny”.

Perhaps he is a liberal in a Republican costume. Don’t be surprised if more start turning up. People have to be checked out before they are accepted for what they say. Look at Obama/Soetoro. He says one thing, and does the exact opposite.
kato commented:
The GOP is the Clueless Party. It needs to be punished a few more times before it realizes that it’s time to get rid of the entrenched RINOs, who are even worse than liberal Democrats because they misrepresent themselves as small-government, fiscal conservatives.
The tea party movement will hurt the Republicans far more than it will hurt the Democrats because tea-party candidates will split the former. The RINOs are still too blind to see it.
And I’ll say it once again: A lot of the problems in this country came under the watch of the Compassionate Dope. Too bad he couldn’t put two articulate sentences together to defend his alleged conservative principles.
LovesTheSouth commented:
Bob Corker needs to go in 2012. He does not get the fact that we need CONSERVATIVE representation from Tennessee. Did you know that he has a home in the same neighborhood as Al Gore? Unfortunately, even if we remove Corker from the Senate, we will still have Lamar Alexander for 4 more years after that as he was just re-elected in 2008. For being a conservative state, Tennessee has poor representation of the conservative nature in the U.S. Senate. That is very disappointing.

still better than the socialist in office now.
did’nt appoligise for our greatness and insult the citizens of this country. Did’nt bow to any country or king. Not exactly conservative but had honor. Barry is an enemy of the constitution and the country.
put that in your bong and smoke it. powder is dry.
Texmom commented:
I heard that they took that bailout part out of the bill. Did they or not? Does anyone know?
Just as with healthcare reform, no one is arguing that something needs to be done…just not something corrupt to make it even worse. At this point, I don’t think I can believe any bill being pushed by this administration is anything but another huge power grab. This one and the GS connections….stinks.
Valerie commented:
Maybe the Tea Partiers can sit down with him and go over the text of the bill. That would be a start.
Finncrisp commented:
I would say start with the dismantling of Fannie and Freddie (true reform) and then we will see about the rest of it. The problem starts and ends with bad mortgage paper. Got to stop that first. The faucet is wide open again at Fannie and Freddie. Nothing planned for them in the current legislation.
Feckless……
