Some of the Winners Show Up to say Thanks to West Knox Republicans

Last evening, the West Knox Republican Club met for their August meeting and several of the August 7 primary winners attended.

First, Knox County Republican Chair Ruthie Kuhlman spoke and talked of the great slate of candidates, she vented about the Saturday editorial of the Knox News Sentinel. There were some other interesting tidbits, but I will let it go. Maybe I could post her talk on youtube?

State Senate Candidate Dr. Richard Briggs said he doesn’t like Republican primaries. I assume his context is the give and take of candidates of similar views and having disagreements within the ranks of the party. State Representative Martin Daniel introduced three campaign workers within his successful primary challenge. He called Ben Farmer “the brain thrust”.

Criminal Court Judge Elect Scott Green thanked those for supporting him, he pledged to continue to be involved. Fourth Circuit Court Judge Elect Greg McMillan also thanked the club for their assistance. Knox County Trustee Elect Ed Shouse was very thankful for the support he received. Ted Hatfield, Republican State Executive Committeeman for State Senate District 6 spoke and said that the committee will meet this weekend. There is a lot of turnover with the SEC.

That was about it from the appreciative Thursday evening attendees of the West Knox Republican Club. State Representative candidate Eddie Smith was en route back from a meeting in Nashville, he sent word of his appreciation and asked for everyone’s help in the upcoming General election.

    Interesting that Hunley was there celebrating his phone polling pals win. I wonder where his pal Huddleston was, maybe taking down all the signs he littered the county with? Oh no, Jacky doesn’t take them down.

    So, Hunley and farmer’s guy is gonna go to Nashville to decriminalize drug charges, non violent crimes, so if Hunley isn’t at his business or home and gets a bunch of crap stolen from himself, it will be decriminalized.

    Thanks guys

    Sure Hunley was there, but did anyone chap his big ass for actively campaigning for a democrat? This washed up political has been needs to keep pedaling his paper. Have you ever noticed Hunley’s support comes with strings? I bet if you shook his hand, Huddleston would fly around the room like a witch. This clown needs to be banned from attending meetings within the republican party. He uses that puppet photographer to capture moments in time that are not based upon facts, rather than an illusion. I am so sick of this type of politics. Ruthie get off your ass and take a stand to unite this party before there is an official party of the Hunlitized.

    I wish to congratulate Shouse, Ailor, McMillian and Briggs on their win, it shows that there are hard working respectable members of the republican party that worked together, the proof is in the results of the election. This group of winners are part of the new republican party, that is free of the Hunley string event of corruption. One election at a time, old Elmer is cleaning up the party.

    Hunley, don’t credit yourself for the wins on this election, the winners made it possible with successful campaigns, free of your support.

    I have my eye on so many more of the Hunley followers, even Jim and Tammy Bakker had their fall from grace, this pack of Black Wednesday rejects are on their way out the door. One election at a time.

    I would like to recommend Black Draught laxative to the following remaining members of the Hunley support group.

    Ballard , Leuthold and Smith

    A couple more doses of this and your just a memory we can flush down the drain.
