Rick Santorum won the primary in Tennessee while Mitt Romney rolled to primary victories in Virginia, Vermont and home-state Massachusetts on Super Tuesday, reaching for a decisive advantage over his persistent rivals in the most turbulent race for the Republican presidential nomination in a generation.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich countered with a home-field win in Georgia as the GOP contenders vied for the chance to take on Democratic President Barack Obama in November.

The red states are pretty angry with the Republican party. People are upset about the mortgage fraud crashing the real estate market and they are pissed off about the loss of constitutional rights and American dignity in the aftermath of 911. They are not happy about how the US is doing in the elitists’ “global marketplace.” The GOP has no agenda of reform to offer. They are a bunch of barking moonbats.

They trust the Dems even less now that they got a belly full of Obama.

Well that explains a lot—Southern Land is God's Land—I know because I was born in the Holy City of Charleston, South Carolina.

Newt was born in Harrisburg Pa.

"Gov. Bill Haslam's plan to free local schools from a state-mandated teacher pay schedule that currently rewards seniority and training is drawing fire from the state's largest teachers' group."

"Last year, Haslam dramatically changed teacher tenure laws, tying the process of obtaining and maintaining tenure to student achievement. Republican lawmakers abolished collective bargaining."

"Union hits Haslam plan to abolish teacher pay"
"Haslam says pay plan isn't attack on teachers"

"Haslam spokesman David Smith said the decision to dismiss the charges against 55 protesters was made in light of a federal judge’s ruling that the state couldn’t enforce the new curfew on the grounds around the state Capitol."
Haslam drops charges on protestors

"Governor Bill Haslam signs bill to halt camping by Occupy Nashville"

Let's review:

• Signed into law a bill to end collective bargaining
• Changed tenure laws to tie to student achievement
• Introduced in Jan 2012 reform bill to allow local districts freedom to negotiate on salaries as they want
• Imposes curfew on protesters. Arrests 55. Judicial commissioner refuses to jail them. Federal judge steps in to say he cannot impose curfew.
• Haslam refuses to give up. Signs bill into law to halt camping by Occupy Nashville protestors

He has crippled the power of the unions, totally emasculated them, and yet to AdamBomb, he is just a wimp because he respects our judicial system enough that he won't override a federal judge on stupid protesters whose antics no one in TN cares about.
