In the morning edition of the KnoxvilleNews-Sentinel is a story where Bob Tuke, the NEW Tennessee Democrat Party Chairman is criticizing several members of the Legislature that are Republican for Tuke’s percieved conflicts and unethical behavior.

Representative Jason Mumpower got it right “typical party hack hogwash”. Remember Tuke was not the first choice for state chairman of the liberal democrat party. Randy Button was Chairman and left the state party for a lucrative employment deal with Horne Properties.

Chairman Tuke needs to be reminded that he has three out of four arrested, indicted legislators as members of the liberal democrat party. Former Hamilton County School Board Member Charles Love, who plead guilty last week was known to support democrat candidates. Arrested and indicted Former Senator Roscoe Dixon is a democrat.

This is an attempt by Tuke to remove the focus from his indicted legislators to a percieved conflict on Republican members that have and continue to follow the law.

Chairman Tuke – your dog won’t hunt.
