Ablogination

The Republican Primary turned out as best it could. The kinda-sorta moderate Republican places first while the Teabagger candidate looks like the fool he has always been.

Tennessee Republican voters might just deserve a little credit for avoiding the Right lane, but they won’t get it from me.

When it comes to politics, things are backwards and goofy enough here in Tennessee. At least now we don’t have to worry about sinking to even newer lows by having an empowered Teabagger movement in the most powerful position in the state.

Today, Tennessee told the Teabaggers to kick fucking rocks by handing Ron Ramsey his ass on a silver platter.
As much as I hate to admit it, choosing Haslam over Zach Wamp and Tea Bag Boy was a wise choice by a voting block that isn’t exactly known for wisdom.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam withstood relentless attacks from his rivals to claim Tennessee’s Republican gubernatorial nomination Thursday.

Haslam had the dominant fundraising advantage in the race against U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp and state Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, pouring at least $1.5 million of his own money into the campaign during the closing weeks.

With 90 percent of precincts reporting, Haslam had 327,375 votes, or 48 percent, to Wamp’s 199,388 votes, or 29 percent. Ramsey had 149,844 votes, or 22 percent.

Ramsey fared far better in portions of his native East Tennessee, easily winning his home county of Sullivan and Johnson County, which is part of his state Senate district.

He won Sullivan County by more than a 2-to-1 margin, garnering 59.7 percent of the votes cast, compared to 28 percent for Haslam and almost 12 percent for Wamp.

The Blountville native received 11,186 unofficial votes in Sullivan County, compared to 5,244 for Haslam and 2,205 for Wamp.

Ramsey won Johnson County by a 3-to-1 margin and easily won in Unicoi.

Haslam, the Knoxville mayor, was the top vote-getter in Carter, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins and Washington counties.

Lost in Carter County? Why, Ronnie…why on earth did that happen?

Buh bye, little Ronnie. You, the Tea Bag F*gs and team Gregory are officially history in the state of Tennessee.

Let this be a lesson to you. Nobody likes traitors.
Nobody wants fanatic loonies, racists and two-bit professional whiners in positions of power.
You are not “the people", you are not “America” and most of all, you’re damn sure not Tennessee.

Now crawl back under your slimy rocks and stay there. Winter is coming soon and you don’t want to freeze your little exo-skeletons off. Much less see your candidates lose like they will in November.

Face it, you’re just not our cup of tea.
