 FactCheck.org: Devolution in Tennessee
Bryant fires back with a charge that Corker failed to pay his taxes, when in fact businessman Corker paid millions, sometimes voluntarily giving the government more than he owed.
Bryant bases his attack on Corker's own press release, which actually says Corker paid a total of $4.6 million in federal income taxes over the years, or about 23 per cent of his adjusted gross income.
Unless Bryant can produce evidence that Corker actually owed income taxes for the two years when he shows he owed none, then we must judge his ad to be false.

 Blogging for Bryant: Long Hot Summer....
Last week on a conference call from the U.S./Mexico border, former federal prosecutor, Ed Bryant argued that his GOP primary opponent Bob Corker's background in the construction industry made him less credible on the issue of illegal immigration.
The Corker campaign responded, calling Bryant's comment "a ridiculous and outrageous accusation, characteristic of their desperate campaign." Then today the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported that Corker's former construction company, Bencor, was cited in a 1988 INS report for employing four illegal immigrants.
In response to today's media reports that Corker's former company indeed hired illegal immigrants, Ed Bryant has re-issued his call for Corker to release a complete list of every subcontractor his companies have hired and document his businesses' internal policies on hiring illegal immigrants.

 The View From Here: Buzz of the Day- Bryant / Wilder Connection
One theory is that Ed's reasoning was probably that he didn't want to offend the Democrats in his old district by supporting his Party's candidate since he would be running soon and will be using those folks as part of his base vote.
It is not fair to say that if Ed had stood up for a fellow Republican, we would be calling Ron Ramsey "Lt. Governor" now, but it is fair to ask why he chose not to support his party's candidate publicly like so many others in and out of the district did.
I agree with the statement that you can't compare Ed apples to apples with Burchett or Williams, but the gripe (as I have heard it) was that if Ed had supported Ron or the Republican candidates before him, the Burchett/Williams debacle may never have happened.
