yup....Thompson panders to the racism and homophobia of his constituents...they all do, because their party has to convince folks to vote against their own REAL interests. While the southern white vote streams in and elects corporatist republican candidates because of their "guns, God, n' gays" platform, Thompson and the former republican congressional majority were easily able to pass "bankruptcy reform", against the interests of Tennesseans who experienced the highest rates of home foreclosures, in the US. it works great in Utah, too....another heavily republican state with high foreclosure rates.
It's win win for big corporations and for ignorant fundy christian racist gay bashing idiots lulled into believing that a corporatist shill like Thompson or Bush....are "on their side"....
