Tennessee Senator Stacy Campfield and Representative Tony Shipley* have just betrayed their conservative principles and gone to work for a big-government Republican by joining the Presidential campaign of Newt Gingrich! click for the link: http://lastcar.blogspot.com/2011/11/next-president-of-united-states.html
Why is this such a betrayal of conservatism?

Because by working for and endorsing a politician like Newt that means they have endorsed Newt's ideas and track record and openly support him. Since you may not be familiar with everything that Newt stands for, a very short glimpse into the candidacy of Newt Gingrich will be listed below for your consumption. If you have a problem with what you see, then you might consider contacting these two former-conservative Tennessee legislators and ask them why they are supporting Newt, his liberal stances, and his big-government track record...


Ask them yourself and let them know what you think:
stacey@votestacey.com or 865-455-2627
tony_shipley@yahoo.com or 423-817-1053*


(*Rep Shipley used to work for Rick Perry this year before he bailed for the Newt Gingrich campaign. How fickle is that? See the proof at the bottom of this e-mail)

So what is conservative about any of the above?

Why are Senator Stacy Campfield and Representative Tony Shipley attaching themselves to Newt Gingrich and all of the liberal things he has done? Do they really agree with it, or are they selling out their conservatism for perceived political power?
