It is disappointing to see the influential blog Red State endorse Lou Ann Zelenik. Red State listed six congressman they want to see defeated and Diane Black is one of them. "Here’s your chance to throw the bums out and replace them with better
conservatives in races where the Democrats don’t have a chance." says Red State.
National Journal's vote ratings for 2011 listed Diane Black among the top 10 conservative members of the House, each of the ten tied for No. 1. She has a score of 100 from the National Right to Life Committee; National Federation of Independent Business gives her a perfect 100; and American Conservative Union, an 84. She is hardly a liberal.
I doubt there is much difference between how Diane Black and Lou Ann Zelenik would vote. They are both conservative. The main difference, as I see it, is that Lou Ann Zelenik does not believe the First Amendment applies to Muslims. Diane Black supports the Constitution.
Below is an excerpt from the Red State post.
Among the other six Congressmen targeted for defeat by Red State was Congressman Chuck Fleischman of Tennessee. His opponent is Scottie Mayfield. Chuck Fleischman has a 100% pro-life score from the National Right to Life Committee; the National Federation of Independent Business, a perfect 100%; the American Conservative Union, an 88%. He is hardly a liberal either.

Yesterday I asked if not now, when do we get to hold Republicans accountable.
It is mind numbingly infuriating to get some of the bellyaching from people that, in effect, we never can.
I disagree. I know most of you do too. Right now, here are six congress critters we can annihilate in Republican primaries. The alternative candidates to them are far more conservative.
If you really do care about taking the country back and improving the GOP, you have no excuse. You must oppose these incumbents currently fighting it out in Republican Primaries.
Congresswoman Diane Black of Tennessee. Her opponent is Lou Ann Zelenik.

A vote for Lou Ann Zelenik will send Diane Black a message that she failed Tennessee. One of the first things Black did when she went to Washington was vote for the Debt Ceiling Increase. Tennesseans sent her there to cut spending, but she immediately voted against us. If we don't hold these candidates responsible for their voting records we will never get change in Washington. Her ads says "you won't find anyone more conservative then she is," that just is not true. Her Heritage Action and Club for Growth scores were pathetic. She is even listed in “The Hall of Shame” for her poor voting conservative score. Her record is laid out at: http://www.conservativevotingrecords.com/overall-performance-results/tennessee/ and Hall of Shame: http://www.conservativevotingrecords.com/hall-of-shame/ The sad story is no one in Tennessee had a score 90 or 0ver on their voting records.
ReplyDeleteWe need new leadership in this state. Give Lou Ann a chance. If she goes to Washington and doesn’t do the job, vote her out.
