Tennessee needs a new Governor

[AshG]

So it was ok for them to work around Covid patients for over a year with no jab but now they want to mandate it? Would you take chemotherapy as a preventative measure for cancer? These people are ****ing nuts!

While I agree with your sentiment, that's a pretty huge false equivalency there.

No it's not it's called herd immunity my friend

There is no herd immunity to cancer. It's not an equivalent issue to Covid.

Bill Lee is worthless. He has no leadership abilities. He’s basically riding the momentum of Tennesssee’s history of low taxes, low cost of living of economic growth. We must do better.

Agree. He and the GOP supermajority couldn’t even do a simple thing like constitutional carry.

I agree. I’m fully against the vaccine mandate. It’s going to end up going to the Supreme Court, where I’m sure Roberts will screw it up.

But there are those healthcare providersthat are requiring it of their employees. My concern isn’t for the hospital companies. They have their attorneys to fight if they wish. The state should be fighting for its citizens against this until the Supreme Court rules. Instead Tennessee is sitting and watching people lose their jobs. And because Tennessee is not a plaintiff, our citizens are not protected by any stays or lower court protections. A real leader would fight for their constituents.

But we're not talking about cancer we're talking about an invisible asymptomatic disease in which you have to be tested to find out if you have it.

He also entertained the Auburn men’s team at the Gov mansion in 2019 during SEC tournament. Honored the coach that was the source for great embarrassment & sanctions to the University of Tennessee. I think he sucks.

Why the hell does this matter? Of all the things to concern yourself with a Governor you chose this? Grow up.

 

[volfanhill]

WTF? People said that about Trump? Oh yeah CNN, MSNBC, etc.

The American people said that about trump. And if you can't admit he's the biggest pussy in American politics then you are lying to yourself. Man is a constant whiner and complainer. And good lord he lost to Biden. Please please go away Trump.

Where my issue lies is TDOT and how pathetic they are at road planning for the future. There needs to be a serious plan that involves all Metro Nashville counties for future road/travel expansion.

There needs to be a train going all the way from Nashville to Gallatin and Nashville to Columbia that helps get morning commuters downtown and the Hadley Bend connector needs to get done and ASAP to make another viable way north into summer county other than 65 to vets.

They also need to get a one way system downtown to help flow with broad going into downtown and church going out with crisscross one way streets.

Trinity Lane bottle back needs fixed also.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Nah, we’re actually better off being low key and out of the spotlight. Have you seen the influx of folks into Texas and Florida because they’re always in the news?
We don’t need more hysterical screeching Dems flooding into the state trying to change it towards their viewpoint. We already have more than plenty of them here.

There is a point to be made about this concern...

Roberts, Kavanaugh and ACB...

dont leave out the cluster f called I 440. Its amazing that there is a traffic jam to get on and off it all day yet not a thing has ever been done to address the situation.

On the bright side we could have a dimocrat as governor and that would be a disaster.

However IMO the governor of Tennessee should almost always follow what ever Texas does and in this case Florida as well.

Yep. Bredesen left the state an absolute train wreck, unrecognizable as an entity fit for self governance.

Dimocrat. Mature.

Well you listen to a democrat talk for 5 minutes and you see they have a very dim look on everything from their own country to basically life in general as well. So...

 

[LouderVol]

I refused to vote for him first time because of my experience with his unethical company but he’s worse than I imagined.

Did you vote for Trump?

I listen to Democrats talk and get the feeling they need to experience real life. I listen to Republicans talk and I want to give them a hug and tell them they don't have to be so angry all the time.

No one sounds good anymore.

I have a very "ska" opinion of things right now.

Some say things are bad and wont get better. Others say things are at the worst. I say things are at their worst and wont get better but I dont care because I have a trumpet!

There is a meme that explains it better but I couldnt find it.

Tennessee is following other states on key issues such as Covid treatments, vaccine mandates, education, etc. Tennessee is a follower on every key issue. We should be leading with Texas & Florida.

I think Lee governs more toward the middle but you named two states where the governors are leading the democracy fight. Lee is in a group of other above average to good conservative governors imo.

 

[Septic]

You brought up cancer and getting chemo as a preventative measure as an absurd equivalency to the covid vaccine. He pointed out it's a false equivalency and your reply is "we're not talking about cancer"?

lol, ok.

Why? That makes zero sense, Texas is an authoritarian crap hole that was projected to have a $4.6 billion deficit for 2021. Florida is is projected to be in the hole by almost 3 billion while TN is projected to have a surplus. SO yeah lets follow the lead of TX and FL.

lol, ok.

The whole premise is absurd just like you defending a shot that kills your immune system and makes you test positive for Covid.

Missouri, Montana, Arizona, Arkansas Kansas, Iowa etc are other states whose governors are showing more leadership than Lee. Tennessee has a great opportunity to be recognized as a leader but we have an empty suit as governor. These governors are standing up for the citizens of their states. Our governor is asleep as is many of his supporters evidentally.

Look, I think some of Lee's marketing ie, "Come to TN our dime" is stupid, but I wouldn't list Lee is terrible. I didn't vote for him anyway.
