Senator Williams Has A Campaign Website
Posted on October 18, 2008 at 6:24 pmWhich, he says, he has nothing to do with:
A Web site supporting state Sen. Mike Williams’ re-election has appeared on the Internet, but Williams says he has nothing to do with it.
“I don’t know who did it. I do know I had nothing to do with it,” he said in an interview.
In an interview last month, Williams referred to himself as “old-fashioned” in campaigning while explaining his lack of a campaign Web site - a fixture for most legislative candidates these days.
The site, www.williamsforsenate.org, is fairly basic. It features a picture of Williams with Gov. Phil Bredesen, for example, but when a viewer clicks on the word “donate,” the only thing showing is the senator’s address, where a check could be mailed.
A check of records by News Sentinel staff shows the Web site was set up through a service that blocks identification of the creator.

A Bold Charge
Posted on August 6, 2008 at 10:07 amSenator Mike Williams’ shill blogger alleges he knows at least one of the reasons the Senator voted for John Wilder, instead of Republican Ron Ramsey, for Speaker in 2005:
The disembodied voice on the other end of the line says, “Mike, this is Jeff Hagood. I just wanted you to know I won’t be running against you. But there’s something else you should know. Ron Ramsey (then Senate Republican Caucus Chair whose primary task is preservation of Senate Republican incumbent seats) and Bob Davis (then Tennessee State Republican Party Chairman whose bylaws at the time prohibited involvement by party officers or officials in primaries) came to me and asked me to run against you. I wasn’t the one who came up with the idea. But I want you to know that I will not be running against you.”
You’ve got two seconds to figure it out. Gee, why didn’t Mike Williams commit to vote for Ron Ramsey for Speaker when Ramsey came to him in January 2005 and said, “Mike, I guess it’s a little bit too late to ask for your vote.”
UPDATE: Contacted by Post Politics Deputy Chief Of Staff to the Lt. Governor, Lance Frizzell, said that charges that Ramsey had recruited an opponent for Williams were “not true.”
Wrong Stuntbaby
Posted on August 5, 2008 at 9:53 amIn an attempt to try and prove he is not simply a Mike Williams shillblogger, “Independent Reporter”, covers some other races:
On the other end of Senate District 4, there’s the Republican LoveFest Rematch between Stacey Campfield and Ronald Leadbetter with a cameo appearance by Jonathan Katsiros over a House seat in Knoxville. The major accomplishments in office so far of Campfield, a Caucasian by birth, have been to bring real bacon strips to the dignified House floor and to seek membership in the Black Caucus. Other than those two well-publicized pre-pubescent stunts, pretty much everything else Campfield’s ever done has just been routine amateur acts of total silliness. It’s listed as R-18, so you might want to put all the kids to bed before looking at the results of this one.
Now, you can say a lot of things about Stacey Campfield but what you cannot say is that he was the guy who brought bacon to the house floor in protest of the Community Enhancement Grants. That honor belongs to Rep. Brian Kelsey, the Stuntbaby of Germantown.
A Faulk Load Of Gasoline
Posted on August 1, 2008 at 9:38 amThe “Independent Reporter” aims his pro-Senator Mike Williams scattergun at Republican Majority Leader Mark Norris:
Speaking of Peterbilt, take at look at Senate Republican Leader Mark Norris’ disclosure. He paid himself a piddling $6,029.28 for Mileage on July 9, 2008. I know gas prices are high, but, trust me on this one, that is a lot of fuel. Surely that was for more than just 28 days.
But could it just be a serious typo and there’s an amendment in the works? We truly hope he makes amends or makes an explanation.

It Is Quite Hot Out There
Posted on July 29, 2008 at 11:36 amThe anti-Mike Faulk shill blogger is at it again publicizing Justin Wilson’s donation to the Faulk campaign as well as spreading rumors that the 4th District Republican seeking to unseat incumbent Mike Williams was campaigning in shorts:
Eyewitness reports state that Mike Faulk was campaigning in a polo shirt and bermuda shorts over the weekend. Did he leave his coveralls behind? We’ve never ever heard of a candidate campaigning in his shorts before. Coveralls, yes. We have trouble believing he would campaign in bermuda shorts. But then Faulk may not have had time to change when he left the country club or his hideaway cabin. Got pictures, anyone?
