In Tennessee it is fact. Again I say look at fact in the Political Graveyard web site. No, actually Lamar is up against some pretty stiff compitition including his own past and record. Freeper GailA has some material you should take a look see at called Lamars Skeleton Closet. Who ever the White House Aide was that recommended Lamar Alexander should have done their research and reconsidered their choice before announcing it. My point is Bryant has a 100% Conservative record. Lamar at best will continue to support many of the very wastefull government programs many in this forum have been fighting to eliminate. That is if by some slim chance he gets elected. Why put in more of what is wrong with the GOP?
It's get's down right discouraging to see so many moderates cheering on the GOP sellout. Then they are the first to Boo Hoo when Conservatives say we've had enough we will not continue to support your destruction. Was it not the plan to put a GOP POTUS in and change the senate? Well? Wasn't it? What are we doing though? Ignoring Golden Chances to put true Conservatives in because some person in the White House and GOP leadership is as out of touch with Tennessee as it was with Califorina? That appears to be the case to me.
All that I will say about your post is that I hope that we Tennesseee Republicans can remain civilised in this race so that whoever wins the primary will not be so badly wounded that we hand a precious Senate seat to a 31 year old guy who will hang onto it for the next 30 years. If you think Alexander's education policy places too low a priority on home schooling or whatever, then that could be a campaign issue. If Alexander has receivd financial hlp from people that you do not approve of or in ways which will hurt him in the general election, then that could be an issue to debate as well. But I sincerely hope that you will not let passion to support one candidate blind you to the goal of electing a conservative Republican, which is what Lamar Alexander is.
