I had to laugh out loud this morning, when the Senate candidate Harold Ford was making attempts to make Republicans look like liars and cheaters.....This...coming from a family of politicians that have always had an extra hand tied to their backs in Tenn.

All one has to do is do a little digging to show that there's a lot of "coincidences" in John and Harold Sr.'s past that tie them together in several alledged "schemes."

Many people say that Harold Ford, Jr. is the cleanest politician in his family (if there is such a thing as a "clean" politician), but with the history of not only his uncle but also his father, he may have to fight a lot harder to prove otherwise. It's also hard to distance one's self from his father if his father's lobbying firm is paying for ethically questionable trips...

Lincoln arrested the Md House and Senate so they couldn't vote. Chief Justice Taney said you can't do that, it's unconstitutional. Lincoln replied shut up or I'll arrest the entire supreme court
