Know Lamar Alexander?

What is the difference between Senator Lamar Alexander and a skunk? A skunk always shows his stripes. Lamar Alexander hides his at election time. In Alexander's campaign ads, Fred Thompson brags how Alexander balanced Tennessee's budget eight times as Governor. Big deal, so has every other Tennessee governor because a balanced budget is mandated by Tennessee's State Constitution. The same ad puffs that Alexander brought the automotive industry to Tennessee. That must have been a surprise to the Ford glass people who had come here long before Alexander played the "rent-seeking" game with Nissan. Thompson must never have heard that they were making Marathon automobiles in Nashville before the First World War either. Mike Huckabee also endorses "conservative" Lamar Alexander in an ad. Huckabee should remain forever notorious for granting clemency to Maurice Clemmons, who left Arkansas to slaughter four police in Washington State. If you live in Tennessee and want an establishment US senator who can work with Barack Hussein Obama, then Lamar Alexander is your man. If you want a Senator who will try to thwart Obama, your vote should go to Joe Carr.

All About Fishing

Republican in name only (RINO) Lamar Alexander has launched his campaign for reelection to the US Senate with an advertisement on how he went to bat for the rights of fishermen who wanted to cast their lines near Corps of Engineer dams. All good and well for the few thousand sportsmen the Federal government was going to restrict, but what of the millions of Americans hurt by the global warming regulations RINO Alexander supports? What about the open-border amnesty Alexander is pushing that will depress wages and alter our character as a nation? I only wish a real conservative could emerge to defeat the pretender in the plaid shirt who would seem more at home with his K Street lobbyists in sharkskin suits. Alexander may claim to represent the interests of Tennessee, but he is DC through and through.
