Hilly boy's Idol
I’ve never had much of a problem with Ramsey, mostly because he was not on my radar screen. Here are some interesting tidbits on him that are less than flattering.
I like how Ramsey flat out lies again. He has no shame. And the more I learn about these Republican politicians, the more I am convinced they only claim to be Christians to get votes. They don’t do a good job of convincing people they really are Christians. As long as Ramsey is around there won’t be any campaign finance changes.
Also, Bredesen was smart to not accept Gregory money. They were just trying to trap Bredesen anyway. By the way, Bredesen is one of my least favorite politicians for those of you who just think I am a Democrat.
- In this debate before the election, in which Ramsey was reelected, he sure didn't like it when someone pointed out that Tennessee's high sales tax is good for Virginia.
- This couple claims that Ramsey lied when he told them he could not introduce a bill unless he had 100 signatures.
- In this story, isn't it nice how Ramsey puts his hands up and says there just isn’t much we can do to lower the cost of prescription drugs. The hands are up because he is reaching for the Gregory family wallet.
- Ramsey definitely can speak from experience when he claims someone is being used as a pawn. He can say that only competition lowers drug prices. However, when King pays politicians to insure that competition doesn’t exist, that means drug prices don't get lowered.
- Ramsey denies receiving money from or helping the Gregory family and King Pharmaceuticals, after admitting helping to land King a $56 million taxpayer subsidized contract with TennCare. Someone seems just a little delusional. In the election McKamey reported that Ramsey said lowering drug costs is not a state issue, even though 26 other states have decided to address the problem.
- With Ramsey’s votes for the largest tax increase in Tennessee history, and his support of the abortion on one vote, how in the world did he get reelected? Could it have been because he had tons of Gregory money at his disposal to outspend his opponent? The voters got duped again.
