Hilly Boy's Deception (as in the Lovely Tennessee Rep. Matthew Hill)

For Hilly boy, this was a less than impressive first session. Admittedly, this is the most coherent language I have ever heard from Hilly boy. Some of the things he attempted to get done are things I have no problem with. Nonetheless, he provided plenty of fuel for me in many of his responses in this article.

First of all, the voters got what they asked for. Hilly boy repeatedly mentions how his inexperience has had to be overcome. We are the one who lose while he learns how the government works. “Hill said his first year in office was a lesson in learning how Capitol Hill works... One of the big things I learned is that it's a process.”

Hilly boy clearly stands against many elements of public education, though he said, “We need to shore up K through 12 (education)."

"In Washington County alone, we need two more schools.” I am surprised Hilly boy admits that there is a school building problem in the county since he tried to go over the county’s head by playing to Johnson City.

"To get feedback on his first year in office, Hill said he is planning a series of 'Town Hall-style' public meetings on June 16 in Jonesborough, June 17 in Telford and June 18 in Johnson City." I am amazed he actually announced this ahead of time.

And finally, in response to this blog, Hilly boy uses his quintessential lack of clarity as he claims he does not stand for public school education.

“If special interests are being pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-home schooling and pro-constituent services, that's the only thing I'm really interested in."

Which one of those four is “the only thing” he is “really interested in?”

My guess is pro-home schooling, since he once slipped up on the radio by mentioning how much he struggled in public school before he started getting home-schooled. This was in the middle of a rant in which he made fun of Washington County residents who attended public schools. Now he is helping to determine policies that affect public schools and I don’t think anyone should be surprised when public schools get shafted.

I must say that I am pleased that this blog made it into the JC Press two days in a row (Sunday & Monday). Whether he likes it or not, there are many of us who are pro-life, pro family and pro-Second Amendment who are NOT pro-Hill. I don't think he quite gets that.

I just want Hilly boy to be defeated in the next Republican primary. And I am not the only one who feels this way.
