This is a Release from the TN GOP. I agree with Chairman Bob Davis, Jr. statement. When I saw the TV Commercial, I said this is a dangerous approach for Phillip to go as it will turn against him.

Governor Won’t Bear the Responsibility of Unethical Actions in his Own Office

(Nashville) – Governor Bredesen’s new self-congratulating television ad has risen to a new level of hypocrisy.

THE PHIL BREDESEN CAMPAIGN AD:

“I believe in taking personal responsibility and state government has to be responsible too.”

The following is a statement from Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Bob Davis regarding the ad.

“The governor talks about “responsibility”, but the reality is he has not taken responsibility for a number of ethical lapses in his administration. These lapses range from the shredding of sexual harassment documents to the campaign cash for promotions scandal in his administration.”

“We agree state government should be responsible. Governor – the problem is you have never accepted responsibility for the ethical lapses in your own administration. Clean-up your own house first before releasing fancy TV ads misleading voters about your so-called accomplishments.”
