TN Repuke backtracks on secession if he's elected Gov...

[cynatnite]

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Republican Zach Wamp said Saturday that he wants to make clear he will not consider leaving the union if he’s elected governor. He also called his opponents “weak” on asserting states’ rights.

Wamp, a Chattanooga congressman, a day earlier had backed off remarks he made to the National Journal’s Hotline On Call suggesting that states could secede over objections to federal policies.

snip:
Wamp said there needs to be a united front of strong governors to stand up to what he considers a federal encroachment on states’ 10th Amendment rights.

“We’re going to be a proud partner as a member of the United Sates of America,” he said. “But there needs to be a conflict between the states and the federal government.”

These repukes running for gov have been doing the "I'm a better christian and conservative than the other guy" meme for some time now. It's hilarious at how fast Wamp backpeddled on this once everyone started making fun of him.

when he revealed he was a birther.

You bet they're barking mad.
