With FReepers like you, it's no wonder we can never find candidates who don't stab us in the back at every turn (Jeffords, Lott, McCain, etc.). Go lurk elsewhere, you rude poster.
If conservatives can't be free to choose representatives who share our priorities and views, then why the heck are we even bothering with the voting booth at all? Do you think that whoever the GOP leadership crown as 'the favorite' should just be directly coronated? No, thanks, our forerfathers thought of a better system, and I'm glad animal172 has the brains and initiative to be selective in his voting choices. I think it would be more appropriate and more intelligent if you would both share some reasons for and against voting for Lamar, rather than the gut reactions we're getting so far. Any info for those of us who don't know Lamar Alexander from Hedy Lamarr? (All I know is that he's run for higher office before)
Many in the GOP last governor election did just that. They voted for a DEM Republican are you happy now? His name was Sundquist. Sundquist and Lamar same policies same problems understand now? Or do you have to ask the RNC & White House for permission to understand? There is more to it than the blessed beloved sacred party. There is more to voting than party there is an item called platform and principle. Twits like you is what keeps the GOP Clogged UP with Industrial Strenght RINO and offers little hope ever for political change of direction.
