Eatons Still Tukin’ Ticked Off About Primary Loss
By Kleinheider Posted on September 3, 2008 at 6:23 amKenneth Eaton may have gone down to defeat in the Tennessee Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate but that doesn’t mean his son John is giving up the fight anytime soon:
I believe Bob Tuke is wasting our time and hopes by running against Lamar for Senate. Just like during the Primary, he is not actively campaigning. Mr. Tuke is testing to waters to run as a replacement for Governor Bredesen.
Nice to know that Tennessee has that great of a candidate; screwing the state out of logical representation on the federal level, to see how well he would do in a race for the governor’s seat.

I will promise you one thing if my husband had won you would know it. We would still be campaigning. I have people come into my salon, call me and email me asking me who won. I blame this on the media and the lack of campaigning by Bob. Why is the media keeping this election so quite. There is more going on than the President race and this office is a very important one. Come on reporters lets talk about all the offices that are on the ballot. Lamar is going to stomp Tuke in this election. Kenneth was our only hope of winning this election. He was the only one that could give Lamar a run for his money. That’s okay I have my husband back and Tennessee has lost one of the best Senators it would have ever had.
By the way we are not “Ticked Off”-”Bitter” or any other negative decription as a matter of fact we are finally RESTED and back to a normal family and business life. We as a family enjoyed the campaigning and it was a change in our lifestyle when Kenneth loss this race BUT we are back to civilian life again and loving it just as well as we would have loved him being Senator. You see sir we are a very well rounded family and once one of us makes a decision to do something our whole family backs and supports us. I am proud of my husband for everything he has done and attempted to do in his life and I am sure you have not heard the last from Kenneth Eaton.
What the hell?
I thank you for continuing to send hits to my dead little blog… but I’m just posting my opinion there, as I still get a few hits a week without a kleinheider reference.
As my mother has clarified above… We could give a damn about the election now. Past is past. We’re moving on to bigger and brighter ventures; where we don’t have to rely on anyone but ourselves to succeed.
I on the other hand, have an avid interest in politics. It wasn’t picked up during campaigning, but during my high school years. On top of being a gamer nerd I tend to be a Poli-Sci/History nerd as well.
Don’t expect the blog to represent my parents view, It never has and never will (unless you see them start posting on it…) If you want my fathers views, visit http://kennetheaton.blogspot.com/ .
My mom, as you can see, will be responding to posts here and on other blogs throughout the blogsphere…
Thank goodness Eaton didn’t win the primary! These people are morons! If you don’t want people to think you aren’t bitter or ticked off, then stop responding to criticism with comments like “Kenneth was our only hope of winning this election. He was the only one that could give Lamar a run for his money. That’s okay I have my husband back and Tennessee has lost one of the best Senators it would have ever had.” and “We could give a damn about the election now.”
I wonder if they know the definition of bitter? Apparently Toni doesn’t know squat about sentence structure or spell check.
The only morons I know are bloggers. I don’t care about correct spelling or sentence structure when it comes to these blogs and I actually don’t care about anything right now except getting Obama elected as President of the United States. NO I am not bitter and I am not a moron and I will always respond to anything negative written about my family and that is not bitterness dumbass it is just setting the record straight. I for one have come to relize that bloggers are VERY NEGATIVE people and I will only be heard from when you attack my family. I truly believe you should never write anything about anyone that you don’t know anything about and when you can’t use your real name you are a coward Dear Relieved Citizen. Mama Bear
