WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., isn't running for re-election but he had many words of praise Wednesday for the Democratic candidate who is trying to replace him.
Phil Bredesen, the former Democratic governor, is running in a tight race against Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn for the open Tennessee senate seat.
Corker has donated money to Blackburn but said he won't campaign against Bredesen.
"I worked very closely with him for years, and he was a very good mayor, very good governor, very good businessperson and look, I'm not going to campaign against someone who, you know, I've been a friend with and worked with," Corker told reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

Blatant, yet funny. :)
Can we stick a cork in all articles about Corker?
Establishment gets into everyone we send there, doesn’t it?
That’s funny but unfortunately this is not funny. Former executive types(mayor/Gov’s) will never side with conservatives. DiFi gets to be he lefty self in the Senate. At least the Cork beat back Harold Ford in 06’. For that we should thank him. Next joke...
How do we defeat the uniparty? I feel like every election, it’s a lose-lose (you just lose more when demoncraps win). You go back to the exact same uniparty.
What a pathetic RHINO.
Today’s GOP.
This is what needs to happen to all these deep state swamp dweller RINOs like Corker. Get the hell out!
Oh I think this is pretty much a one way street. Republicans supporting Democrats. I cannot think of two many times when a Democrat supports a Republican in the same way as described in the article.
Which candidate is Ditch supporting?
Corker seems to be very similar in outlook to Ditch.
Please Sir, may I have another?
"When, in an age of smugness and softness, fear has been pushed temporarily into the dark corners of personality and society, then soon the gods of the copybook headings with fire and slaughter return. To fear to commit evil, and to hate what is abominable, is the mark of manliness. 'They will never love where they ought to love,' Burke says, 'who do not hate where they ought to hate.' It may be added that they will never dare when they ought to dare, who do not fear when they ought to fear." - Dr. Russell Kirk, 2007Read the writings and speeches of America's Founders--those brave men and women who risked everything for the sake of liberty for individuals and strict limitations on the power of any who would be allowed positions of power in government! Today, we must learn to "hate" tyranny in all its forms, as did those Framers of our Constitution of self-government for a society of free individuals.
Funny, Biden campaigned against his big buddy in 08. Guess this only goes one way.
Course he does.
That’s why we wanted the putz gone.
Treason ridden swamper!
If only there was an Iranian he could endorse.
Filthy rotten traitor. He should be horsewhipped into pudding.
‘John McCain is in more hot water after appearing to concede he could lose the US presidential election by telling voters they have nothing to fear with Barack Obama in the White House.’

‘After a particularly fired-up rally in Minnesota, Mr McCain was booed when he tried to sooth the crowd, defending Mr Obama as ‘a decent person and a person you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.’’
