Joe Carr is challenging Lamar Alexander for the republican nomination on August 7th.

Joe Carr has to do a better job of getting his name out over the TV and radio airwaves. Alexander is hammering the airwaves.

[Dick Bachert]

I wonder if this explains why HUCKABEE is endorsing Alexander?

There is NOT 1 sign up for Carr in Atoka. Know one has heard of him, unless it is through social media. Good way to lose an election.

My current RINO state REP Debra Moody needs to go. Rory Bricco is a true conservative running against the back stabber Moody. http://rorybricco.com/

If the Tennessee job market was the same as it was in late 1982 Alexander would be history. In East Tennessee businesses had Not Hiring signs out even Mickey D's. The illegals were few and far between. It could turn that way again real fast. The area for a couple of years dodged the bullet because of the 82 Worlds Fair related construction. When it shut down and investors lost their fortunes and businesses in some cases also lost their entire savings in the uninsured SIBC collapse no jobs were to be had.

Thirty two years has brought in a new generation of voters many of which didn't see this or were kids who didn't understand. The one thing sparing the area this time is it's strong Non Union and a right to work state. If the local economy tanks the illegals are already embedded in most large and mid size Tennessee cities and towns. It will make the Great Depression look like a mild recession. Amnesty is national suicide if not sooner then later but it will happen.
