The Commercial Appeal ^ | Jul 29, 2013 | Richard Locker

Posted on 04/11/2015 5:20:53 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

A week after about 150 tea party activists rallied in opposition to U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander's re-election next year, tea party favorite Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said here Monday that he hopes Alexander doesn't get an opponent and wins re-election.

Alexander, R-Tenn., has aroused tea party ire for his votes for the immigration reform bill and other measures opposed by the hard right.

Paul supported all the old bull RINO’s even though he ran for Senator
as a Tea Party conservative.

He has been everything BUT a Tea Party Senator.

Rand Paul is consistent.

“Rand Paul to steer clear of Mississippi runoff”

“Rand Paul: It’s a ‘misnomer’ to say McConnell isn’t conservative”

“Rand Paul To Campaign for Romney”

March, 2013—”Rand Paul endorses Mitch McConnell in 2014 Senate race, won’t back tea party challenge”

“A week after about 150 tea party activists rallied in opposition to U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander’s re-election” “Rand Paul of Kentucky said here Monday that he hopes Alexander doesn’t get an opponent and wins re-election.”

Now, that is a very good reason not to support Rand Paul. Both of them are TOTAL FOOLS. And that goes for Lamar Alexander, we tried very hard to get rid of them, but in the end, Money spoke louder than reason.

I live in Lamar Alexander’s home county. Whenever he runs, I always have one of his opponent’s yard signs in my yard.

Alexander has one of the worst conservative ratings in Congress.

Rand hasn’t a chance to win the nomination. I doubt he’ll last beyond Iowa

But,but,but the main stream media is once again lying about Rand Paul ! Sarcasm...

Why oh why are the Rand Paul supporters so quiet tonight ?

Could it be that they don’t want to be seen or heard from after hearing that Rand Paul supports socialized education by tuition tax write offs and sticking it to the older hard working tax payers, and his support of Lamar Alexander.

Rand Paul has surely stumbled out of the gate in his first week running for President..... A circus act at best...

Ted Cruz shows amatures how it’s done...

Alexander’s only positive legacy IMO was replacing our Felon Governor {Pardon Me Ray} and not becoming such himself. He should have stayed in the private sector after his tenure as governor.
