Mike Kernell: Member of Tennessee for Obama?

by Eric Dondero

A Democrat Activist Blog out of Tennessee called LeftwingCracker.blogspot.com may have a connection to the growing scandal over the Hacking of Sarah Palin’s private email account. The Blog lists State Representative Mike Kernell on the side Blog Roll. LeftwingCracker, run by 49-year old Steve Steffens (photo below) of Memphis, is a strong supporter of Barack Obama for President. Steffens lists in his Profile one of his main interests as “leftwing politics.”

This hacker story reminds me of this:

Rep. Jim McDermott had no right to disclose the contents of an illegally taped telephone call involving House Republican leaders a decade ago, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.

this what the democrat talking point is on this topic although there is no proof it is true:

The break-in of Palin’s private account is especially significant because Palin sometimes uses non-government e-mail to conduct state business. Previously disclosed e-mails indicate her administration embraced Yahoo accounts as an alternative to government e-mail, which could possibly be released to the public under Alaska's Open Records Act.

Is this a joke? It’s like blaming a bank for having a bypassable alarm system after you’ve broken in.
This is watergate-style politics from the democrats.

Did you read the emails? Do you know the 'State' business they are referring to are people who work for her saying 'good luck' and one asking for prayers.

I hope they throw the book at them!

So what is the “son of Democrat leglislator accused of a felony” count for today? I’ve lost track.

That reminds me. What’s the latest on Joe Biden’s son, who thought it would be fun to run a hedge fund?

When she was first nominated we learned she has 2 B'Berry's.

I was looking through the fathers voting record (project vote smart) and he seems to have a keen interest in "Felons Rights to Vote".

Interesting!

I must admit a smile comes across my face when i think of this liberal puke surrounded by Secret service agents and being given the choice of 20 years in Federal pound me in the ___prison or rolling over on the Obama campaign manager that put him up to this.
