It was his until a few days ago when I saw one of his mailers the other day.
Now, I can handle the fact that as mayor of Knoxville, Mr. Haslam decided to join Bloomberg's anti-gun rights group. I can handle that it took him way too long to get out of the group. I can even handle his decision to ban law abiding citizens from legally carrying their handguns in city parks.
I disagree with all of those stands, but he, as mayor, has the duty to follow through on his principles.
What I can't handle is his posturing as a pro gun second amendment supporter by touting his "lifetime membership" in the NRA when the ink on his enrollment check hasn't even had time to dry.
Stand for what you believe in, and even if I disagree with you, I'll respect you. Try to hide your beliefs in order to get elected, and you're just like every Democrat who ever ran for public office. If you'll lie to me to get elected, you'll lie to me after you're elected.
Wamp voted for TARP. Enough said.
Ramsey gets my vote.
