Screw the corporate whore, homophobic pig Ford. He would be one of the worst Senators, ever.

I don't know about the corporate whore and homophobic stuff, but there's also some carpetbaggery here. Who does he think he is: Hillary Clinton?

Seriously, as a current Tennessean (although I'm from Virginia if anybody asks), I gotta ask: WTF Harry? Couldn't win down here so you took your act up north?

Can you say flip-flop? Only way this is feasible. Politics as usual. Democrat and Republican mean different things in different states.

Ford's a Penn grad. That's reason enough to vote against him!
