NASHVILLE, Tennessee–Controversy is threatening to bring an early end to the regime of thirty-year-old Ryan Haynes, who was named chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party in April 2015. More than two dozen Republican members of the Tennessee House of Representatives signed an April 18 letter to Haynes demanding the immediate termination of his political director, Walker Ferrell, on the grounds that his wife, Taylor Ferrell, a paid consultant of the Tennessee Republican Party, is also being paid to defeat a number of incumbent Republican members of the House in primary challenges. The latest problem comes less than a month after the Tennessee Republican Party’s cram down of establishment loyalists onto the Trump and Cruz delegate slates to the Republican National Convention angered grassroots conservatives, The letter, made public at the Tennessee political blog Rocky Top, is quite specific in its allegations....

Leahy has a lot of interesting quotes from conservative Republican legislators.

The back story is that RINO Governor Bill Haslam has been bankrolling primary opponents against conservative legislators. They are starting to push back, and in doing so, are revealing just how corrupt the Tennessee State GOP leadership is.

What we are learning is why the GOP never fights against democratic corruption and voter fraud. Two peas in a pod.

Very interesting. The grass roots of the party is far more conservative than the leadership.

They fear neither God nor man. Until some of them start going to real jails for lengthy sentences, the rest will probably not learn their lesson.

But they sure will fight Conservatives, which is the only group that wants to hold the government accountable.

Unfortunately, most of the voters are not paying much attention. The truth is getting out in dribs and drabs, and there are state reps and senators fighting the good fight, but the bad guys are arrogant simply because they keep getting away with being corrupt.

Meanwhile, the TNGOP State Executive Committee are too busy drooling over Bill Haslam’s money to do their job.

Hope is not lost, but she has been hiding pretty well.

Swiped this from somewhere else:

Q. Mr. American what is worse, ignorance or apathy?

A. I do not know and do not care.

That’s going to require more than jail. Public hangings would serve.

If our schools went back to teaching real history, maybe more politicians would recall what happens when governments eventually collapse under the weight of their own corruption. It usually does not turn out well for the ruling class.

It’s every bit as rotten as the scumbags in Washington and Mississippi, totally corrupt and totally LIBERAL SCUM.

>>when governments eventually collapse under the weight of their own corruption.

Demoralization: Check.
Destabilization: Check.
crISIS: W.I.P.
Revolution: W.I.P.

The revolutionary phase in the process disclosed by Bezmenov circa 1984 has been going on in a soft “progressive” form since 1968.

Reagan interrupted and reversed the progression temporarily, but unfortunately people went to sleep when the Berlin wall came down, and the process has been creeping forward ever since.

Of the 4 present candidates, which is the most likely to impeded the process and why?
