The TN GOP campaigns on the hot button issues to energize particular constituencies. That's why they oppose a woman's right to control her own medical care, wave rifles in the air, have their picture taken beside a fence in New Mexico.

Those are red herrings which have little to do with the actual GOP agenda.

Now Tennessee Republicans want to remove the very word "malpractice" [1] from the English language.

Perfect! Got a problem with a bad doctor, lose a loved one because your hospital gave them the wrong drug? You're screwed, because we no longer have "That word" so malpractice doesn't exist anymore.

It's really about keeping that lobbyist money flowing, and there is a stunning array of GOP introduced legistation in our state. One particularly bad bill is the AT&T cable franchise bill [2].

AT&T is a bad actor in the Corporate world. But just by posting that here, I have now violated AT&T's terms of service that says I can't criticize then or they can cut off my Internet service.

Is that creepy or what?
