He’s just another “show voting” RINO.

Come on Tennessee. DITCH LAMAR! I have some since there are some Bratt foreshadowings. Also TN transplants in Norther Mississippi went heavily for McDaniel in the Mississippi race.

It would go away if you and others would focus their time on impeachment.

Keep this up and we will not win back the senate. Lamar can win this seat. Don’t be so quick to turn it over to the dems. There is no guarantee that we will keep the seats we once held like Georgia for example. And we can not guarantee picking up the seats in Louisiana Arkansas and Alaska. You don’t have to agree just be civil in the discourse

Alexander dodges question, says he voted for amnesty to “stop perpetual amnesty”

We had to destroy the village to save the village.

Lamar Alexander made his fortune by setting up daycare for workers in large corporations,

"Kauffman compares Jones to Lamar Alexander, who made his fortune and rose to power as an executive with Corporate Family Solutions, Inc., operating nearly one hundred high-powered daycares forFortune 500 companies. “Making millions off daycare—separating infants from mothers for eight hours a day, five days a week: as the abortionist says whilst laving his hands in disinfectant, ‘It’s a living.’” Kauffman’s dry response: “Mother Jones or Lamar Alexander: you tell me who’s the real conservative.”

“stop perpetual amnesty” = give them all amnesty all at once.

Tennessee is blood red. The seat is going to a Republican in November be he RINO or conservative.

That’s the way it’s done by GOP-E. Dilute the anti-incumbent vote. Guarantee that most of those opponents are GOP-E plants.

“Keep this up and we will not win back the senate. Lamar can win this seat. Don’t be so quick to turn it over to the dems.”

Um...I don’t see anyone even talking about turning this seat over to the Dems — but this is the typical red herring argument from the RINOs I guess. To the contrary, this is a GOP primary we are discussing, in which we happen to (civilly) believe that Joe Carr is the better candidate and the most conservative candidate that can win. TN is after all a deep red state and in a wave or at the very least favorable GOP election, whoever the nominee is should have no trouble holding that seat.

“t would go away if you and others would focus their time on impeachment.”

Yeah, that’s the ticket, give Obama exactly what he and the RATs want. I’m with Krauthamer, while Impeachment may be the legal thing to do, it would be a disaster for Republicans, just like it was with Clintoon. With RINOs having only a couple of points on the RATs on the positive scale, they have pi$$ed away their message on just about everything. Now they look like a bunch of morons the way they are muddling through their “immigration bill.” I just can’t imagine a more inept bunch. No message, no balls, no spines. As I am writing this Obama is gassing up a storm about how the Republicans are responsible for our current mess, and to the LIV’s it probably is making sense.

Same position as Runt Paul. We have de facto amnesty so we need to pass an amnesty bill.

I doubt you can prove that.

Four of these opponents need to drop out and stop allowing the incumbents to get the nomination. Republicans truly are the stupid party - you don’t see Demoncrats doing this - they normally have just one opponent running against the other. And even more stupid are those who vote for candidates who don’t have a prayer of winning, thus wasting their votes and allowing the elitists to remain in power.

Behind Carr, there is a guy polling 6-7% who has run before for office.

I therefore doubt he is a product of a GOPe conspiracy, to deprive Carr of his victory.

Rather it is a product of normally ineffective GOP thinking, in general, conservatives not exempted.
