Bob Corker flip flops again

[pf99]

US Senate Republican Candidate Bob Corker who once said his handshake is like a contract has flip flopped again.

First Bob was for abortion before he was against it.

Then he was for illegal immigration before he was against it.

And now:

Only three weeks after Corker said he opposed the very existence of the minimum wage, he has now came out and said he supports raising the minimum wage. This is just one in a long list of character flaws that Bob Corker has in this Senate race.

Three weeks after looking the cameras in the eye during a Republican primary debate and opposing the very existence of the minimum wage, Bob Corker yesterday continued a campaign without character by changing his position 180 degrees in a record three weeks time, now saying he would have voted to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25.

Corker's transparent self-interest on the issue of wages should come as no surprise to the people of Chattanooga; when Corker was mayor of that city he raised his pay at the same time he eliminated cost-of-living raises for city employees, and he continues to take a city pension, despite making $12 million while he was mayor.

...

U.S. Senate nominee Harold Ford Jr. issued the following statement today:

"A leader with character doesn't oppose working people in July and claim to be for them in August. I have consistently voted to raise the minimum wage, and I did so last month when Bob Corker opposed me and the 450,000 Tennesseans who deserve a raise.

"Character is standing up for people who have no voice. Character is standing by them all the time--not just to win an election.

I am glad the Ford is taking and running with it.
