ReplyDeleteThis is pure garbage. I remember Lamar!'s tenure as Governor, and the TN GOP was nearly dead. Calcified and desultory leadership and candidates for office. When Howard Baker stepped down as Senator, Lamar! refused to step up to stop Al Gore. When he left office in 1987, the party was at its lowest point in the modern era, dead by all intents and purposes. Even left the country to boot. He doesn't show his face again except to demand we vote for his abortive run for President in 1996 (when he promised ! promised ! us he would NEVER run for office again) and 6 years later (breaking his word) to use his money and establishment connections to willfully stomp on the preference of the grassroots, Congressman Ed Bryant (and promising he'd be a Conservative ! Yessirree).
Now flash forward to 2013 and Lamar! is breaking his word again (set down in his book -- "Two terms and OUT !") to keep his 6th most liberal Republican 74-year old behind in the Senate. Sorry, but Lamar! has only been for Lamar! in his 40 years either running or serving in office. His interest in the grassroots is only what they can do for him, as he certainly has no use for Conservatism. That TN Conservatives would return such a self-serving politician is appalling. I wouldn't vote for Lamar! for dogcatcher.
And, as for that fool from Arkansas, Huckabee, the king of illegal slave labor from below the border for Tyson's, here was another arrogant pseudo-Christian buffoon who laid to waste the Arkansas Republican party that he set it back 40 years by the time he finally left office in 2007 (reducing it to zero statewide Republicans, a small minority in the legislature, and 1 federal Congressman). He actively went out of his way to stop and sabotage any and all Republicans who didn't pledge their personal fealty to him. His Democrat successor did more to rebuild the Arkansas Republicans by accident than Huckster did on purpose.
These two are absolutely toxic to the grassroots and are premier examples of why the Republican establishment must be defeated for the future of the party.
You do not know what you are taking about so keep your left wing opinion to yourself.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the party is just a bunch of ------RHINOS!
ReplyDeleteDisgruntled Conservative? Lamar Alexander? This the same guy who voted for the indefinite detention to the NDAA. Is For NSA's Prism program, and thinks Edward Snowden is a traitor for telling you about it.
ReplyDeleteJust another Rhino in Conservative clothing right there in the ranks of John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Politicians like this Guy are the problem. Now he is going to pretend that he is upset about the very messes he has created because there is another election cycle coming. Just glad I no longer live in TN so I don't have to have this Ass Hat come knocking on my door again like he did a few years back.
Well now I was born in Tennessee. Been a Republican all my life. Not just because my father was, but because when I go to vote I vote for the man not the party. Just happens they always seem to be Republican. That should tell you something. In my opinion you owe these two great men an apology. Self-serving, arrogant, pseudo-Christian, Buffoon, Huckster, Garbage, Toxic???? Sir you need to be kinder to your dogcatcher. If I talked about people like that. I'd go to a doctor and get some help with angrier management
ReplyDeleteSelf-serving, pseudo-Christian, arrogant, Huckster, Buffoon, garbage, toxic appalling? Sir You owe these two great men an apology!!! you need to speak kinder to your dogcatcher. I honestly believe you need some angrier management. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. Lamar, Corker, and Haslam all worship at the feet of Obama and call it "bipartisanship." They have betrayed Tennessee and their country so many times this year alone. Their votes on gun laws, immigration, sending planes to Egypt, internet sales tax,just to name a few. We need an amendment to the Tennessee Constitution so we can recall Corker. Alexander is up for election next year. Check their voting records and don't just watch their paid mouth pieces on TV. It is not a Democrat, or Republican party issue anymore. America is in danger. We need to purge all the career politicians.
ReplyDeleteF WOODEN, YOU ARE SO CORRECT. AS A RETIRED MAN FROM THE UNVERSITY OF TENNESSEE . AND A FORMER TN COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIRMAN . THE THREE OUTLAWS (RINO'S) ALL WORSHIP OBAMA'A FEET AND CALL IT " BIPARTISANSHIP" THEY ALL HAVE BETRAYED TENNESSEE. HASLEM IS A JOKE ! AND ALEXANDER & CORKER THEY ARE NOT EVEN A JOKE . ARE THEY NOT HEARING WHAT FOLKS LIVING IN TENNESSEE ARE SAYING ?
ReplyDeleteIt's Correct TO sayTheyAre All Incapable Of Being A Good Dogcatcher
