Citizen of the Month

We all know that the Insurance Industry is the single most corrupt, rip-off industry that exists. Hence the dire need for the Health Insurance legislation that was passed by congress earlier this year.

There is obviously still much more to do concerning reform. Looks like Homeowner’s Reform is a good candidate…

They call it “Acts of God". You pay the premiums, a tree falls on your roof and they deny the claim. Blaming “God” for the fact that they’re too greedy to pay.
That’s the Insurance Industry for ya, you spend your money and bet your well-being on their integrity, only to find out they have none. You lose.

Recently, retired Bristol Firefighter Rick Simpson returned home only to find that heavy rains had caused the back wall of his basement to collapse. Severely damaging the integrity of the structure and destroying personal possessions.

But, the Simpson’s have homeowners insurance. That should at least take care of the house, right?

Wrong.

Simpson, who buys his insurance from a State Farm branch operated by Jerry Green,……

….was told that there would be no pay out because “God” did it.
My, how convenient.

This age old insurance scam should have been banned long ago, but due to the courage deficiency we normally find in gov’t, these flim-flam men continue to get away with their decietful practices.

Now, if you’re one who doesn’t believe in God, this should make you pretty mad. If you’re one who does believe, it should absolutely outrage you.
These lame excuses remind me of that blithering idiot, Pat Robertson, blaming Hurricane Katrina on God. Not only is it incomprehensibly asinine, it reeks of blasphemy too.

So today, because of “God", the insurance carrier feels he is without responsibility to deliver that which was paid for.

State Farm has a long history of such rip-off activity. From Hurricane Katrina to California Earthquakes and far beyond, State Farm Insurance is one of the longest running scams in the nation. “God did it"! I’ll remember to use that excuse when I get arrested for fighting in a bar the next time. “Honestly, officer. God punched that dude in the lips, not me.”

This incident with Rick Simpson brings this fraudulent activity down to street level so it’s easy for all of us to see that indeed, it could have been us.

So, Jerry Green and State Farm Insurance, for all you do this blog’s for YOU.

Rarely is there ever a respectable person from Sullivan County found in public office. There are a few, but we want to alert you to some exceptional jokers who happen to be running in the upcoming elections.

Bart Long:

Aside from the obvious conflict of interest generated by a guy in the real estate business running for Register of Deeds, it occurs to us that Bart Long’s fiscal responsibility may be very questionable.

Have you seen how many campaign signs this clown has out? Hundreds of them, all over the county. Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of signage….to get a job that pays around 30K a year?
Whats the motivation, Mr. Long? Real estate biz floundering? You could always fill Mumpower’s old job baggin’ groceries if it’s that bad.

But then again, the real estate biz must be booming. Thousands in signs? Who paid for that? You? Out of pocket?
If it’s that good, why Register of Deeds? Surely there’s more money in selling old houses.
Pathway to Planning Commission where you can really drop the hammer on your competition?

I understand that Bart Long is “very proud” of his Republican affiliation. That by it’s self is cause to question Long’s ethics. There is nothing for a Republican to be proud of unless failure has all of a sudden become en vogue.

Vote Duncan for Register of Deeds.

Timothy Hill:

You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.

Timothy Hill is simply a punk. Just like his brother, his Bible exploiting daddy, his mentor, failed Congressman David ‘Jesus Pimp’ Davis and his benefactor, the thief John Gregory (Tennessee Conservative PAC).
They are all fake Christians that exploit the faith of others for personal and political gain.

The entire family are corrupt, unethical clowns and should never be involved in public service in any way.
They are all down for themselves and will never help anyone in this area in any way unless they profit from it.
Only an utter fool would vote for filth like this.

The fact that the Hills are ethically challenged is proven by the fact that they were caught removing unflattering facts (relationship to the thief John Gregory) about David Davis and Matthew Hill from Wikipedia. A behavior on the ethics level of plagiarism…

Timothy Hill, 28, is the brother of state Rep. Matthew Hill, R-Jonesborough, and the son of Tennessee Regulatory Authority Director Kenneth Hill.

In 2007, Timothy Hill was caught using a government computer to delete information in the online Wikipedia biographies of then-U.S. Rep. David Davis and Matthew Hill.

At the time, Timothy Hill was Davis’ press secretary and communications director.

Timothy Hill attempted to delete information about Davis’ and Matthew Hill’s ties to King Pharmaceuticals and its former CEO, John Gregory, a major contributor to Republican candidates and conservative causes.

Hill is also a John Gregory (King Pharm/United Coal) worshiper. Gregory being the thief that ripped TennCare and Medicare off for millions of taxpayer dollars.
The Tennessee Conservative PAC founded by Gregory is also located within the Leitner Pharmaceuticals Building. They are all from the same insidious ilk.

John Gregory, Ron Ramsey, David Davis, Jim Holcomb, the Hill brood, Bart Long?…..
Pure, Jesus exploiting filth.

Gonna vote for these scum, Sullivan County? Go ahead, show us just how fucking stupid you really are.

John Gregory Inc., everyone involved with you and everyone that supports you in any way. For all you do, this blog’s for you.

With the possible exception of Texas, there is no more pathetic, offensive and down right blasphemous branch of the GOP than we have in the State of Tennessee.
Now, they even think Jason Mumpower is Jesus. Thank God that’s not true. I’d hate to think that all faith got me was an eternity at the foot of a Food City checkout line.

Tim Rudd, the dramatically gluttonous member of the TNGOP executive committee, recently sent out an email to his fellow idiots concerning the status of TN House speaker, Kent Williams, as a member of the TN Republican party.
A year ago, Williams, a Carter County Republican, joined Democrats in preventing Jason Mumpower from becoming speaker of the House.
Having Mumpower as SOTH would be akin to having Peewee Herman as your child’s nanny. So his thwarting was a very good thing.
Now, still whining and crying, Mumpower and the TNGOP are seeking to remove Williams from the Grand Ole Pussy rank and file.
Williams should consider himself honored. The only thing worse than being a member of the TNGOP is being a member of NAMBLA.
Actually, about the same.

Crown of Horns

But the really interesting aspect of this latest TNGOP face plant is the shockingly juvenile blasphemy they have indulged in.
Rudd, the glutton, has compared a Republican prayer session that Mumpower and Williams both participated in to the prayer Jesus gave at the last supper. Directly comparing Jason Mumpower, an idiot, to Jesus. Our Lord.

Then once again, Rudd compares Williams to Judas Iscariot which puts Mumpower in the sandals of Christ.

Thanx to our good friend, Elmer Gantry, for this very telling video…

The TNGOP’s exploitation of the savior is nothing new. That’s the only way they can get votes. By manipulating the faith of believers, and the blindness of fools, and lying their way to political gain. We saw this in it’s most raw form with miserably failed TN-1 Congressional Rep. David Davis. We see it with Mumpower, Ron Ramsey, saw it with Jim Holcomb. Any John Gregory-backed Taliban candidate is equally as guilty.
(Gregory+King Pharm+Thief+TNGOP)

Though the TNGOP is always good for a horse laugh or two, they are also very dangerous to the people of this state. When morons, thieves, liars and hypocrites are in charge, we get matching results.
The great state of Tennessee deserves far better than the amusing collection of miscreants and morally challenged goofballs that now make up our state gov’t.

So, TNGOP…And especially you, Jabba the Rudd. For all you do, this blog’s for you.

Don’t you just love signing up for Republican chain emails? You don’t have to read the news to catch their lies, just get on a mailing list.

Just received the latest batch of baffling bullshit that oozes from the gooey orifice we commonly refer to as The RNC.
This particular batch coming by way of TN-1 Congressional Rep, Phil “Dr. NO” Roe.

In Phil Roe’s most recent email he states….

“…However, the proposed legislation (HR 3200) before us in Congress will squeeze private insurance companies out of business by requiring them to subsidize the cost of care for those on government-sponsored care, which will eventually result in a government-run system, similar to those in England or Canada.“

First of all, Corporate Insurance Companies like CIGNA ect will be taxed. Those are not “small private insurance companies” like Buddy Crump out on the parkway. Nice try, Phil.
Second, England, for instance, pays for it’s health care by general taxation. Not with “insurance companies subsidizing it".
England has private insurance for those willing to pay for it.

Roe is either a liar, or he doesn’t even know what he’s talking about.

The fool continues….

“Because I know Americans have come to enjoy their ability to get the care they need, I just don’t think a single-payer system will work in America, particularly because care is only given if it fits within a budget. That is not what we are all about.“

Roe assumes all Americans get the care they need. He is obviously a sheltered, out of touch pansy. Or, he’s just parroting the RNC lies.

Then, he calls it “Single Payer". HR 3200 is NOT “Single Payer". HR 676 is.
Roe can’t even do his job as a congressman and know which legislation he’s talking about.

Then Roe says…

“particularly because care is only given if it fits within a budget. That is not what we are all about.“

That is an outright, bold faced lie. Insurance companies refuse care if it can’t be budgeted. Not the proposed system. That is a fact and Roe is a liar.

“That is not what we are all about.“

What we’re not about is Roe’s Satanic lies. This man goes to church every Sunday. Says he’s a “Christian".

Who Would Jesus Heal, Dr. Roe?
I double-dog dare you to answer that question.

Health Care Debate Continues

As we have seen in many recent national and local news stories, emotions are running high at health care town hall meetings. The government option has emerged as one of the most contentious elements of legislation taking shape in Congress. As I listen to each of you at town hall meetings throughout East Tennessee, it is constant reinforcement to continue fighting for your interests in Congress.

By reading the current health care legislation we have before us today in Congress and thinking about its potential impact, I know H.R. 3200 is bad medicine for this country and we should simply start over. It’s becoming evident many in Congress feel the same way, as evidenced by a recent CNN news story in which Rep. Allen Boyd (D-FL) said that it would be an ‘excellent idea’ to start over on health care. Congress has a real chance to work together – Democrats and Republicans alike – to create true health care reform for this nation that would not further increase our deficit, hurt small businesses or create a one-size-fits-all single-payer system.

Constituents all around the country are voicing their opinions in town hall meetings. As I have been saying, health care is not a partisan issue, it is a people issue. I truly believe that reforms and improvements are needed, ranging from finding ways to provide coverage for the uninsured to cutting fraud and waste. However, the proposed legislation before us in Congress will squeeze private insurance companies out of business by requiring them to subsidize the cost of care for those on government-sponsored care, which will eventually result in a government-run system, similar to those in England or Canada. Because I know Americans have come to enjoy their ability to get the care they need, I just don’t think a single-payer system will work in America, particularly because care is only given if it fits within a budget. That is not what we are all about.

In addition, there is a major cost concern that we’re facing with a government-run health care plan. This week in the Wall Street Journal, John Mackey – the CEO of Whole Foods – expressed that “while health reform is needed, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system.” I agree with him that we should work to achieve reforms by moving in the opposite direction—toward “less government control and more individual empowerment.”

Before Congress adjourned for the August District Work Period, I accepted the President’s invitation to go over the health care bill “line-by-line.” At a health care press conference even the White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed that a meeting would be set between me and the President. To-date, I have not heard from the President’s office confirming a time and date to meet, despite my continual outreach to have this meeting. I am awaiting the confirmation, and look forward to discussing this important piece of legislation with the President.

Because H.R. 3200 will ultimately affect every one of us, I am conducting several town hall meetings in East Tennessee to hear your concerns. Enclosed is a list of town hall meetings I have conducted or will be conducting for the remainder of the District Work Period. I hope that if you haven’t yet, you will be able to join me for these important Town Hall Meetings.

It seems that Bristol Tennessee’s Resident Right Winger, Jason Mumpower was taking his prospective assent to the speakership of the TN House a little too much for granted.


KnoxViews (GDrinnen2), Klienhider, Cara Kumari

It seems that Carter County’s Kent Williams-R just worked out a deal with a wounded Tennessee Democratic Party to pull a little presto-changeo on the new Republican majority and effectively, thankfully, prevented Jason Mumpower from becoming speaker of the TN House.

Our own Jason Mumpower

Rep. Kent Williams, a more moderate sort of Republican, had sworn to vote with his party concerning the speakership and the Republican go-to guy was Mumpower. The Republicans assumed Mumpower’s conformation was automatic.
WRONG!

In a bold and unusually courageous little move, Williams and the Democratic members of the TN House pulled what is, for all intents and purposes, a coup.
Williams voted for himself along with all of the Democrats. Effectively sending the Right-Wing extremist, Mumpower to the showers.
This brilliant move could be a factor in limiting Right-Wing power in Nashville as Williams will now need to repay those Dems that voted for him by assigning committee chairs who are not Right-Wing freaks.

“Kent Williams has betrayed his constituents and the people of Carter County in breaking his pledge - his signed oath - to vote for the nominee of the Republican caucus for Speaker of the House. He lied, in a quest for personal power, in league with Democrat Speaker Jimmy Naifeh and House Minority Leader Gary Odom, in their desire to retain power despite the results of the 2008 elections.” - TNGOP Chair, Robin Smith

Well, Jason. Better luck next time. Try not to take your eye off the ball if you ever get up to bat again.
And always remember, for all you do, this blog’s for you.

Congrats to the TNDP for finding it’s backbone.
