As if voters in southwest Tennessee haven't already been inundated with campaign signs and television ads, now they must contend with a Democrat operative dressed as Bessie the cow littering the countryside with "No-Grant Pledge" leaflets.
This is their innovative ploy to draw attention to the fact that Mrs. Gresham's husband received $26,850 in taxpayer-funded farm grants as part of the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program while she was a state representative. The program was initiated by Democrat Gov. Phil Bredesen to help state farmers and yes, Mrs. Gresham's husband is a farmer. As long as Mr. Gresham applied for the grants just like any other farmer would with no preferential treatment, there's nothing at all wrong with it. Can Gray Sasser prove he didn't?
So now we have Bessie flaunting a Democrat-produced "No-Grant Pledge" that the Democrat candidate, Randy Camp, has signed but Mrs. Gresham has not. It states that if elected, the undersigned candidates would not accept funds from the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program or any other state-funded grants.
Want to know why Camp was so eager to sign this propoganda? Because he's not a farmer! It's easy for a lawyer and a politician to disavow farm grants when it has nothing to do with what he does for a living.
The Gresham family are farmers, and we all know that family farms across the country are struggling to keep the family tradition going. We need them and frankly they could use the extra bit of government help. It's disingenuous for the Tennessee Democrat Party to flaunt Camp's signature on a document that would be detremential to Mrs. Gresham's family's livelihood.
Of course this is just a sideshow by Gray Sasser to divert voter attention away from his own candidate Camp, an admitted adulterer for twenty years. Anyone who cannot be faithful to his spouse cannot be trusted as a public servant. Period.
The Tennessee Democrat Party is a joke. From ridiculous press releases to stolen primaries to volunteers parading in cow costumes, how can voters take this collection of goofballs seriously?
UPDATE: Here's the Democrat operative parading as Bessie the cow. Utterly ridiculous.

I say bravo to you! Also, did you see ex-wife's letter regarding Mr. Camp's stance on pro-life - he suggested to his own daughter to have an abortion, as her pregnancy was inconvenient, but he touts that he is pro-life (what a crock!!) Then he uses his little grandson (whom if his daughter would have taken his advice, would not be here today). Despicable!
