Kevin McCann is not a big fan of Rep. John Tanner:
One example is John Tanner, U.S. representative of Tennessee’s 8th Congressional District. I can’t say he’s my representative because I’ve never voted for him, even though he represents the district where I live. He’s one of those moderate-to-conservative (or “Blue Dog”) Democrats, which is another way of saying he’s a Southerner who won’t join the political party that shares many of his positions and values but stays with the one that’s far left of them. Yet because he’s a Democrat, he still votes along with them when the time comes. This is why I refuse to give him my vote (not that he really needs it because he’s running unopposed yet again).
