Alexandar Not a Conservative

AC Kleinheider says Lamar Alexandar is not a conservative and never was. I would say that is about right. He has historically been more of a conservative-leaning moderate. I think the problem that most people are having with Lamar is that he seems to be basing his votes on what will work to get him the most power in the Senate. I don't think his votes have anything to do with conservatism, but have everything to do with what he thinks will ingratiate him with the Senate's leadership and with King Barry's administration. It's much worse than just not being a conservative - it's about not being principled at all.

Worried about the Looney Left?

Blue Collar Republican is. It is good to see that someone is "striking a nerve." Meanwhile, Lamar Alexander is rightfully called out on the same site. First, he slapped us in the face with his vote on guns in national parks. Second, he slapped us in the face with his support of Sotomayor. And now, he continues to vote for unconstitutional spending. We need to get Lamar out of office. He does not represent the values of Tennesseans very well.

Why are Tennessee Senators AWOL?

Last night, there was a cloture vote on the hate crimes bill. This is an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. The hate crimes amendment was approved. Neither Lamar Alexandar nor Bob Corker bothered to show up for the vote. Where were they? Apparently, they had something more important to do than represent Tennesseans at that time. The hate crimes bill creates a special class of victim. It gives prosecutors wide discretion. It is unnecessary. Where is our representation on this important issue?
