Some parting thoughts on the Rep. Williams imbroglio…

I know Rep. Campfield has already addressed the comparisons to Sen. Rosalind Kurita at Camp4me, but I would put it this way:

1. Sen. Kurita voted with the majority, affirming the will of Tennessee voters; Rep. Williams voted with the minority, negating the will of Tennessee voters.

2. Sen. Kurita voted for a member of the other party; Rep. Williams voted for himself.

3. The deciding vote for Senate Speaker was technically not cast by Sen. Kurita, since a RINO Senator also voted for Ramsey (who won 18-15); the deciding vote for House Speaker was cast by Rep. Williams (who won 50-49).

4. The Democrats disenfranchised voters by voiding Sen. Kurita’s primary victory and installing Tim Barnes undemocratically; without disenfranchising voters, The Republicans will aid the democratic process by blocking any future attempt by Rep. Williams to conceal his true party loyalties.

Instead of Rep. Williams, wouldn’t a much better comparison to Rosalind Kurita be the 49 House Democrats who voted for a Republican as Speaker?

Or is there something about their vote for the Republican victor that is less traitorous than Kurita’s vote?

Why no outrage from the Left this time?

Rep. Kent Williams: liar.

When I told some people about the TN Speaker vote this afternoon, in which a RINO was backed by 49 minority Democrats and himself to snatch victory from the majority Republicans, a coworker of mine invoked an increasingly popular cliche, “the truth lies in the middle.” Since Kent Williams is nominally in the “middle,” he must represent “truth.”

So if Johnny says the sky is blue and Sally says the sky is yellow, the sky must be green.
