Corker - a conservative?

While it is quite a bit of fun to poke fun at Bryant's handful of zealots, the big fight is going to come down to Hilleary and Corker. My problem with Corker is his duplicity. Can you truly be a conservative if you raise taxes to fund programs that are at best unnecessary?

The word that comes to mind to label a person who spearheaded countless development programs paid for with taxpayer money which resulted in raising his net worth dramatically by increasing the value of his commercial property holdings isn't "conservative", it is "crook." You really aren't supposed to use government in such a manner - unless your last name is Ford...

If your current stance on abortion is dramatically different than your position the last time you ran a statewide race, are we to assume a conversion or diversion?

If I were a betting woman, I'd say the moneyed moderates which comprise Corker's base are hoping for personal gain and have little interest in advancing the GOP or conservative ideals. I predict quite a few interesting connections will come to light in this area.
