Sean Braisted analyzes some recent missives from the gubernatorial candidacy of Zach Wamp and asks, is Zach Wamp offering Tennessee “a style of conservatism that alienates anyone in this state who doesn’t hate everyone who disagrees with them?” That would be a big 10-4, good buddy.
Somehow I’ve managed to get on all the major Republican e-mail lists, and so it goes that today Zach Wamps sends out email touting an upcoming fundraiser hosted by Nashville’s biggest douche-bag John Rich and the self-described “Redneck Woman” Gretchen Wilson. In addition, he is touting the pseudo-support of national rightwing blogger Erick Erickson of Red State:
Erick Erickson, the Editor-in-Chief of the nationally acclaimed conservative blog RedState, wrote an analysis of the Tennessee Governor’s race and said Zach “is a conservative and would govern conservatively.”
In his article, Erickson trashed popular Republican officials like Lamar Alexander and Howard Baker, saying:
For the longest time Tennessee has elected squishy moderates state wide. Howard Baker was conservative, but in a “compromise his mother to advance his goal†sort of way. Arguably Lamar Alexander is even worse, refusing to do anything that does not advance bipartisanship, even at the expense of core conservative goals. Hell, Alexander is not even and does not consider himself to be, a conservative.
Could you imagine a Tennessee Democrat so gleefully touting the endorsement of someone like Markos Moulitsas? Erickson has compared Linda Douglass to Joseph Goebbels and urged Conservatives to beat elected officials to a bloody pulp for regulating dish soap.
