Conservative Group Seeks Challenger to Lamar Alexander over Amnesty Vote
Breitbart.com ^ | 7/4/13 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 07/08/2013 8:07:15 AM PDT by cotton1706

The conservative Madison Project is collaborating with local Tea Party groups looking for a Tennessean conservative to challenge Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) in the state primary over his vote in favor of the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill. The Madison Project’s Drew Ryun said in a statement released Wednesday that the “Senate amnesty bill is one of the most destructive bills to come before the Senate in years, yet Senator Lamar Alexander betrayed conservatives and helped secure its passage.”

“Last year, Tennessee voters strongly rejected Obama’s agenda, but Lamar Alexander voted for Obama’s most important priority of his second term,” Ryun said. “The amnesty bill is the Obamacare of immigration policy, as it exacerbates the current system, creates a permanent cycle of amnesty, ties the hands of law enforcement, and grants enormous discretion to Obama’s bureaucrats."

"Even the hollow promises of enforcement will not be implemented until 10 years after amnesty is granted,” the statement claimed.

Alexander is one of the few Republicans who voted for the bill who is up for re-election in 2014. The others are Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of the original Gang of Eight members, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).

Daniel Horowitz of the Madison Project added that the group “look[s] forward to backing a candidate who prioritizes the American taxpayer and the rule of law over the desires of special interests.”

“Whether it’s amnesty, tax increases, debt limit increases, energy subsidies, or liberal judicial nominees, Alexander has stood on the side of Democrats and special interests over the conservative values of his Tennessee constituents,” Horowitz said. “It’s time for Tennessee to have at least one senator who stands for bold colors instead of pale pastels.”

Good. Every one of the GOP senators who voted for amnesty need to be primaried.

Especially Orrin Hatch. I'm sick of that smarmy phony.

Hatch protected himself for the last two years by voting in lockstep with Mike Lee. Now that he’s safely reelected, he can go back to being a Ted Kennedy-loving RINO.

It would be nice. The conventional wisdom is that Lamar! has a job for life. I hear people say that postal workers can’t be fired, but it’s a whole lot easier to fire an incompetent mailman than an establishment RINO.

Ponder this when searching for Conservative Candidates:

Our tolerance for debt-based welfare to immigrants is equal to our tolerance for the debt that we are willing to pass onto our children and grandchildren.

Reduce our tolerance for debt-based Federal Programs, and our tolerance for immigration will also be reduced.

_____________

Our Southern Border is under the control of Mexican Drug Gangs. An illegal attempt by AG Holder to challenge their grip failed with Fast and Furious.

Obama has allowed INS officials to increase the number of “got-aways” and to decrease the number of illegal alien invaders actually caught.

Gullible News outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal routinely run articles quoting Obamanation statistics that numbers of captured illegal alien invaders are down, and thus there is no such thing as the surge of illegal alien invaders from Mexico and other Southern Hemisphere Socialist Countries.

Most News outlets refuse to come to our Southern Border to document their obviously false assertions.

Most State Politicians cower when our sorry NINE SUPREMES dictate that the State has no authority to protect itself from illegal alien invaders.

As long as THE NINE SUPREMES have 4 Socialist Judges, there will always be a high risk that some gullible Judge from the Majority will cross over to the dark side and continue the destruction of our US Constitution as the signature accomplishment of the US Welfare State. Traitor John Roberts’ support of Obama’care’ is the most horrific example.

Thus, it is incumbent upon those of us who still value the US Constitution to oppose the dark side, what we now call Obamanation.

________________________

The purpose of passing a Federal “reform” immigration bill this year is to allow illegal alien invaders from Mexico, and other Central and South American Socialist Countries, to vote for Socialist-Democrats and appeasing RINOs in the 2014 and 2016 USA National Elections for more debt-generating welfare to future illegal alien invaders to become future Socialist-Democrat voters.

These future Socialist-Democrat voters should be called “McCain-Rubio Democrats,” as no other Senators have done more to encourage gullible RINOs to appease and otherwise cave-in to debt-dependent Democrats than these two sorry RINO Senators.

Stand your ground, FReepers! Raise the Gadsden Battle Flag!

It is us against the gullible supporters of Obamanation!

For example:

While Rubio and his Eight Senate Gangsters put out political smoke and mirrors to “get a bill passed this year,” nothing they have said will change the basic problem of aliens illegally invading the USA.

The Basic Problem: Illegal aliens invade the USA for Welfare and Wages.

Solutions that address the Basic Problem:

1.) End the Anchor Baby Law.

2.) End the Hospital Emergency Room No Payment Law (EMTALA).

3.) End ANY other Welfare to Aliens.

4.) Fine US employers $1,000 per day per employee who is an alien.

5.) Spend NO money on “securing the border.” It is a bottomless money pit.

6.) Spend money on Chainlink/ Concertina wire desert prisons for the EXISTING Federal Law for a mandatory 6 month imprisonment for repeat offenders who have invaded our Country more than once.

7.) Transfer Border Invasion Enforcement to the US National Guard in each State, and thus under the control of the Governor of each State. The less Federal involvement, the better.

8.) Repeal all State and Federal Laws that prohibit voter officials and Police from requesting proof of US Citizenship for any reason what so ever.

9.) Be as hostile to all illegal alien invaders as we should be to all Federal politicians and Federal Judges who vote for or support another Ted Kennedy-style amnesty bill with no significant Federal enforcement.

Contact your local TEA Party, and plan to kick the sorry RINOs and even sorrier Democrats out of Congress in 2014!

It is all about the money FReepers, YOUR tax money.

Damn straight.

Too bad there aren't a dozen congressmen with the stones to even consider what you've suggested.

The extent of substance in Alexander's typical campaign for Tennessee voters:

It would be a great improvement if Tennessee voters would tear themselves away from the ball games, TV shows and bad music long enough to see what this fellow really supports and promotes in Washingron.

Lamar Alexander is a full diaper politician.

Time for a change.

Our sorry RINOs want illegal alien invaders to like them.

What WE want is for those who break the law to be punished.

We know that it is essential that all laws be obeyed, whether the perp. likes it or not.

BTW, why ARE we paying our sorry RINOs?

I guess it just doesn’t hurt enough yet. I often wonder what it will take before Americans have finally had enough.

Call out the instigators
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Lock up the streets and houses
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Hand out the arms and ammo
We’re going to blast our way through here
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right

If Lame Alexander can’t be sent packing in 2014, then I guess he will be there forever.

I think the time is right to bump him off, but no viable challenger has come forward yet.

The way RINOs like Lamar win in Tennessee is to make sure that there are 2 or 3 conservatives running in the primary. That way the conservative vote is fractured, and they win the plurality. If TN conservatives would unite behind one candidate in the primary, they could easily send Lamar! to retirement.

How about Peyton Manning? Does he still own a home in Tenn.?
He seems to be pretty conservative.
