6. I live in Tennessee and Corker is a fat ca neocon.
I was born in South Carolina. Corker was also. I know what kind of bigot he is. Republicans from South Carolina think only white people should have money.

Bio:
Born in Orangeburg, South Carolina,<3> Corker moved to Tennessee at the age of 11. He graduated from Chattanooga High School in 1970. Corker attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville where he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity and graduated in 1974 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management. He and his wife Elizabeth, whom he married on May 18, 1987, have two daughters, Julia and Emily. The family's permanent residence is at the Anne Haven mansion built by Coca-Cola Bottling Company heirs Anne Lupton and Frank Harrison.<4>

After working four years as a construction superintendent, he started his own construction company, Bencor, which he sold in 1990. In 1999, he purchased the two largest real estate companies in Chattanooga, Osborne Building Corporation and the Stone Fort Land Company, making him the largest private land owner in Hamilton County, Tennessee. He sold most of these holdings in 2006 to Henry Luken. His business successes have made Corker a multimillionaire.<5> Corker's assets are estimated at ranging from $22.2 million to $105.2 million in 2008.<6>
