   Where is the hyperventilating outrage from Bill Hobbs? This list includes:

   Hargett - who gave up his House seat to become a lobbyist for Big Pharma.

   Wilson - the midwife for Don Sundquist’s income tax.

   Stamps - who has been fined heavily by the TREF for illegal campaign tactics.

   Scott - a GOP operative that ran a fundraising operation for Sundquist out of the THP and one for Van Hilleary out of the Dept. of Safety.

   It’s a who’s who of GOP political hacks.

   Justin Wilson was the brains and the motivation behind Sundquist’s income tax push. Interesting how Wilson is the only canidate that applied… the other party members must have gotten the memo that Wilson had the job. I think that a new income tax debate would be the worst thing in the world for TN. I hope that Justin has changed his tune. It’s a sad day in TN.

   Gee, if you don’t think deep pockets scares away the competition in politics, just look at the Comptroller’s race.

   Justin may have learned his lesson from the income tax debate, but I wonder if he’ll quietly make his feelings known when the FONCE loophole debate resurfaces in the General Assembly?

   The legislature’s decision could make Justin’s pockets not quite so deep….
