NASHVILLE - Republican U.S. Senate hopeful George Flinn is now aiming his fire at state Rep. Joe Carr, R-Lascasas, the other challenger to Sen. Lamar Alexander in the GOP primary election.
Flinn says in a new release issued this morning that like Alexander, Carr has a "history of flip-flopping on important issues, dodging key votes, and being involved in backdoor deals that don’t benefit Tennesseans but himself."
“Every voter should demand transparency from candidates and research their records before voting," Flinn says of Carr, a favorite of many in-state Tea Party groups.
"Joe Carr, like Lamar has flip-flopped on issues such as common core," said Flinn, citing the controversial teaching standards. Flinn said Carr voted for Tennessee's First to the Top legislation, which he noted led to implementation of Common Core standards.

Flinn runs every election cycle for something
George Flinn is a Mini Me of Lamar!
Oldest political trick in the book. I guarantee that Alexander has promised him money under the table. I have seen it happen way too many times.
Dr. Flinn, the man in your mirror is the one who cannot be trusted. You knew from the jump you had no shot yet you are running anyway. Are you starved for attention or is there a perceived business advantage to being a failed senate candidate? You are a wealthy man in your seventies, so what’s the point? Did someone promise you something to run? Does your candidacy benefit your son, Shea?
Flinn is looking more and more like an Alexander plant.
I hope Flinn doesn’t fool too many low information Republican voters, but then those are probably already a lock for Alexander.
I guess he needed some attention. Lol...
this is unfortunate. The target should be Alexander not Carr.
