Conservative talk radio in Memphis is calling for the firing of the staff member of Sen. Bob Corker who demeaned and belittled Tea Party activists in the Volunteer State calling them “sad” and “creepy” when they visited the office protesting Corker’s support for establishing a permanent bailout fund for companies “too big to fail.”
Corker is leading the charge for a “bipartisan” deal on so-called financial reform legislation that will create bailouts as far as the eyes can see, create a new regulators for small businesses (that had nothing to do with creating the crisis) and empowering big labor with shareholder proxy provisions aimed at undermining private company policy decisions. The House passed version of the bill authorizes the Federal Reserve to spend up to $4 trillion for bailouts. The Senate version is a blank check.
Attitudes are set at the top of the organization.
Compare the response to Sen. Collins staff when Tea Party activists visited their offices this week to the smugness of the Corker organization. We fear that the attitude of the staff member is a symptom of a larger disease that is prevalent in the Corker office.
Corker’s staff may not like it, but, according to Gateway Pundit, it looks like they’re going to get another visit from the tea party today.
