My Thoughts on Congressman Tanner's Healthcare Vote

Congressman John Tanner, from our own 8th district in Tennessee voted nay on the healthcare bill debated before congress this past Saturday night that eventually passed by a vote of 215-210. I think as a result of the many tea parties and voter disgust with him over the past several months, Congressman Tanner has become enlightened to the fact that he better make a sharp right turn in his ideology if he wants to be re-elected. He voted against cap & trade in addition to this healthcare debacle, other than that, he votes with Nancy Pelosi 90 plus percent of the time. Is this genuine? I say Hell NO! He is no conservative by any means. Make no mistake; he needs to be voted out. He has been there too long. He does not give a damn about his constituents, and the evidence is his voting record. He is nothing more than an elitist liberal yes man who votes with that wing the vast majority of the time. He doesn't represent the 8th district. The healthcare bill passed despite his vote, and everyone reading this can believe that if his had been the deciding vote, he would have voted with Nancy Pelosi instead of his constituents. He has thrown us under the bus numerous times throughout the years, and I'm sick of it. BLUE DOG MY ASS!!! Is Don Jannes from Memphis electable? I certainly hope so, because John Tanner needs to be back in Union City. Just my thoughts.

  1. Tanner has never had serious opposition in 20+ years. The definition of entrenched. This guy is already further along than anyone has ever been against him. http://www.stephenfincher.org/
