On the blog Blogging For Bryant, their description reads: An Unofficial Blog in Support of Ed Bryant for U.S. Senate. So going by the title and description of the blog, one would assume the blog would be filled with news and information pertaining to Ed Bryant and his campaign for the U.S. Senate, right? Well, not so much.To find the real underlying agenda of the blog, one must only look at the posts on the front page as of September 7, 2005. When you do that, it becomes evidently clear what the objective of the blog is: to attack Harold Ford Jr. The fact is 11 of the 19 posts on the blog's front page are related to Harold Ford Jr. And guess what? They are attacks. On the other hand, only 2 of the 19 posts (that is not including the post regarding Mr. Bryan'ts birthday) on the blog are solely about Ed Bryant and/or his campaign.
Those facts once again reassert that the Republicans would rather attack Harold Ford Jr. instead of putting forth their own ideas and solutions to the problems that face Tennessee and our nation.
Lets all hope as citizens of the state of Tennessee, that the other side will join Congressman Ford in an issue rich campaign sometime in the near future.
More: Another question one might ask themselves is, "why do the Republicans attack Congressman Ford so much?" Well, besides of having no vision for the future to offer the state of their own, they are admittedly afraid of Congressman Ford and his campaign. Just have a look see for yourself:
