apologize for Marsha Blackburn. We did not vote for her and we wish she would disappear.

(17,884 posts)and evilgelical religion. That's all I can figure out. I grew up in TN and still can't quite put my finger on what the hell happened. Seems the state of pragmatic Dems and sensible Reps went straight to hell and never looked back. Both Ned McWherter and Howard Baker are spinning in their graves.

(10,823 posts)As a TN resident for over 20 years, I was astonished when Blackburn won. Can't even stand the sound of the woman's voice.
This year I have the opportunity to vote in the upcoming PA elections with really good Dem candidates and a decent shot of taking Toomey's open seat as well as electing another strong Democrat for Governor.
Better times are coming.

In New York we have Elise Stefanik. Need I say more?

(5,088 posts)I worked in a fairly upscale cafe in downtown Nashville, and she used to drop by whenever she was in our part of town. She was too busy showing off and trying to be relevant. We used to laugh at her after she left. Very idiotic person. No need to apologize. The insane morons should be apologizing. Like, every single day until she is removed from office.
