Challenger Blasts Lamar Alexander's Refusal to Join Ted Cruz and Defund Obamacare
Breitbart ^ | September 19, 2013

Posted on 09/19/2013 11:55:27 AM PDT by don-o

State Representative Joe Carr, Senator Lamar Alexander's (R-TN) Tea Party backed challenger in the 2014 Tennessee Republican Senate primary, blasted Alexander today for his refusal to stand with Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and defund Obamacare.

"Senator Lamar Alexander has refused to join Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to defund Obamacare claiming it would cause a government shutdown. Although Senator Lamar Alexander agrees with Obama on this point, it is false," Carr said in a statement released by his campaign today.

"Obamacare is bad for America and we should be doing everything possible to stop it," Carr continued. "I choose to stand up and fight. I stand with Senators Cruz and Lee to defund this bad bill. I am calling on Sen. Alexander to change his mind and stand up with Senators Cruz, Lee, and the citizens of Tennessee to defund Obamacare."

Sorry, but I don’t see the point of this at all. People are not going to rise up against 0bamacare until they are smacked by it. The dems know this and that’s why they keep postponing, giving waivers, etc.

0bama’s not going to give in. He’ll run around the country giving speeches about how the GOP wants Americans to suffer because they don’t want to provide all Americans healthcare. 0bama doesn’t care how much damage a shutdown would do. Eventually, the GOP will give in (b/c they have to face the voters again)and 0bama will look like the strong leader and not the chump that got played by Putin.

Implement all of 0bamacare now. Make the dems own all of the nasty consequences.

It’s the battle engaging that makes men out of boys, budster, and not dallying around in the daffodils on a hope and a prayer, loitering, waiting for collapse to be completed.

Chamberlain thinking cost lives. This is warfare, albeit a new kind of warfare and delay can kill hope.

Our guys are bringing a rallying cry and we intend to answer it before it dies.

Respectfully disagree.

Polls show a solid majority of Americans against Obamacare, even with only the preliminary provisions being implemented.

The spectacle of delays and waivers for everyone except those who are actually paying the freight is a dead giveaway that the whole thing is a steaming pile.

Hey—If it’s such a sweet deal, why have the people who work for us (i.e., Congress) found a way to exempt themselves?

“The spectacle of delays and waivers for everyone except those who are actually paying the freight is a dead giveaway that the whole thing is a steaming pile.”

So maybe if the RINO’s fail, it won’t be a bad thing. If FUBOCare does get to kick in, it will ratchet up the pain on the LIV’s and the Union Goons to the point where they may “get religion” and vote for Tea Party folks next year.

I agree with that on the surface but there are a lot of non-dems who will suffer those same consequences. FIGHT ON.

There’s no doubt people who were wise enough to oppose 0bamacare from the start will suffer as result of its implementation. However, if we really want to go Galt, we have to let the gov’t devour itself before rebuilding.

LOL! I’ll take that as a compliment, if I may. I know B-ville very well, or used too, I should say. Osage County.

BTW, will you be seeing the December release of AUGUST:OSAGE COUNTY, with Merril Strepe and Julia Roberts?

Nice you know a lady friend who isn’t a squish these days, huh! THX, OC!

Good for Joe Carr.

He's got a COCKROACH RINO on the run already.
