Harold of Forked Tongue, TN

After reading Gateway Pundit's post on Harold Ford, Jr., that's the only title that I found that fit. See what I mean:
This is what Ford Jr. has to say about National Security:

Harold Ford Jr: "Once again terrorists tried to take down planes. This time with liquid explosives. Thank God the British stopped them. I'm Harold Ford Jr. The bipartisan 9-11 Commission said the airport failed on security 5 years after September 11. And, today our ports and borders remain vulnerable to terrorists. It's time to put a stop to politics. Adopt the commissions 41 recommendations and get tough with controlling our borders. I approve of this message because there is nothing, nothing more important than our security."

Sounds great! It really does...

Unfortunately, Harold Ford Jr. has a history!


Ford voted against the renewal of the Patriot Act.

Ford voted to Cut and Run from Iraq.

Ford voted NO on continuing intelligence gathering without civil oversight.

And,... Ford voted NO on adopting the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission!

Unbelievable!

As Elizabeth Dole said after Harold Ford Jr. attacked her on national security this week:

"He's a politician that will say one thing in Tennessee, and vote another way in Washington."
That doesn't sound like a man who's thought thing through and doesn't waver on his core principles, does it? In fact, I'd say that young Mr. Ford is suffering from STDS, aka Severe Tom Daschle Syndrome. The only known symptom is saying one thing in Washington, then feeding his constituents a totally different story. The difference between moderate and severe STDS & MTDS, aka Moderate Tom Daschle Syndrome, is how often the affliction shows itself. The only known cure for STDS is an electoral defeat that November. Let's hope that Bob Corker cures young Mr. Ford this November.
