   This is great news. Wamp needs to get a jump start on these types of endorsements before Haslam scoops them up.

   I disagree strongly with Mr. Brock and I do not have a problem responding when such assertive statements are made by others. All of us forget at different times just how messed up we really are. I love Zach as my Christian brother and I would be very much at ease inviting him out for a cup of coffee or praying with him. But as Abraham Lincoln pointed out, Christians on either side of the civil war were praying for victory. Civil disagreement is helpful and necessary.

   Mr. Wamp is not a strong leader. In fact, he has set a very weak tone for others to follow in government. I could name many areas of concern I have but suffice it to say here for conciseness sake, three points clearly stand out to me. In a word, Mr. Wamp is a man who adapts and converts to the moment, not the need.

   First, Mr. Wamp pledged to TN voters to only serve 6 terms as a US Rep. He lied to me and other TN voters. All one has to do is consider such men as Mr. Frist, Hilleary and Bryant and others who honored their word above fame to realize the folly of Mr. Wamp’s decision. It appears Mr. Wamp is not confident enough to make it on his own in life off the Taxpayer’s dollar. The concept of being a citizen legislature has eluded Mr. Wamp.

   Second, his support of Mr. Rangel’s’ museum in New York said to me that cutting our budget was non-essential. I find this particularly bothersome considering Mr. Wamp proclaimed his earnest desire to cut pork from the budget.

   Third, his yes vote on the Bailout plan was a clear indication of how he views America’s market system. He does not genuinely trust the market to correct itself. He felt Taxpayer’s children would not mind. This is a sad commentary for Republican leadership in Congress. And I’m sorry to say, there are other Republicans in Congress who are even more liberal then Mr. Wamp. I genuinely believe he should be running as a Democrat. If he is a standard for conservative Republican leadership, America truly is due for a political shipwreck.

   Rather, are you running for statewide office this time around?
