Time Tested Formula ... Ford Family + Opportunity = Corruption
Ford family and Dimwit SOP, here. Accuse your opponent of the very crimes that you have committed. And, what better place to race-bait than in Memphrica? The Ford sycophants will eat this rhetoric up.
That's okay, though; Junior's senate bid is going deeper into the toilet with every utterance of every crooked pol and election commissioner involved in this latest fraud, and that, as they say, is a good thing.
My aunt, a lifelong liberal who always voted Democrat, passed away this last summer.
Someone took a picture of her in the casket in case MN requires picture ID to vote in the future.
DimoGenerats, are the ones who flesh out their
voting members with stiff people.
Necrophilia has a long history tied the DimoGenerat
Culture of Death Party.
Memphis is as corrupt as New Orleans. It's just that the crime familiy's name is Ford instead of Landrieu.
"Tell Harold Ford Sr. that the folks at the Flat Earth Society say hello,'' Giannini said.
Priceless.
That's a fact. Harold Senior must have been storing votes for thirty or forty years, and his brother is another story. They had a history with a banker in Knoxville, Butcher was the name I think, that happened twenty or so years ago. I have forgotten what happened with that, but I'll google it and find out.
The Fords have always been good at escaping the snare.
So they think the Republicans are behind it, huh? Makes sense to me for the Republicans to have dead people vote for their opponent.
"He was also the incorporator and president of a small company, Tenn-Ford Inc., that figured in a Tennessee political scandal. Beaty and former Rep. Harold Ford Sr., a Memphis Democrat, were indicted on federal bank fraud charges in 1987 and acquitted in 1993 after two trials. The government argued unsuccessfully that Tenn-Ford was a shell company created to funnel payoffs to Ford from Tennessee bankers Jake and C.H. Butcher Jr."
There is a lot more, but the escape artistry, abeted by state political interference, has kept the family in political office, and in effective control of Shelby County, Tennessee for many years.
Like the Longs of Louisiana of years past. Is the articulate very light skinned black U.S. representative Harold Ford, Jr.?
"I see the trend where this is going to be headed,'' he said, "and it's not coming to us (if I can prevent it).''
Democrats!!!
Yes, Harold Ford Jr. "Inherited" his congressional seat from his dad, Harold, Sr. Harold Senior's brother, a state senator, is under indictment now, I believe. Harold Jr., meantime, is running for US Senator in Tennessee.
If I had taken the time to read the article more thoroughly I would have seen that State Senator John Ford had resigned after his indictment on bribery charges, setting up the race in question for Ophelia Ford, who appears to be short a few votes from live voters.
It's the FORDS that are corrupt...and they own a funeral home..good place to obtain the names of dead people and their votes.
I didn't even think of the funeral home angle!? G'job!
Your Post is dead on. The Democrats always accuse the opposition of doing just what they are doing. But ya kow what?? It works. It has been working for them for years. They dont lay down like the Republicans, they attack.
They are crooked slimes they rotten to the core but they win many times because they dont lay down.
I wish I could say the Republicans had some fight in them, Unfortunately I cant.
Sleaze will out.
I have long held the position that incumbent politicians are a huge threat to our well-being. The corruption in the Ford family is only the tip of the iceberg; every level of government is filled with career politicians intent on filling their pockets at our expense.
I will never vote for another incumbent, at any level of government, again. Maybe, just maybe, we would get better government if those in office were a little more wary of losing their spots in the ivory towers.
How much do you wish to wager that the complete list of workers no longer exists?
