The dust has barely settled since Sen. Lamar Alexander beat back a strong challenge from Joe Carr in Tennessee’s Republican primary. Yet here he is, once again, talking up the need for a “comprehensive immigration reform” bill. In other words, amnesty.
Via Breitbart.com:
“I don’t know how it will affect our politics in the near term,” Alexander told Politico of a comprehensive immigration bill. “I think it’s embarrassing for us not to deal with the problem, and I think we should do it in the next two years.”
And though Alexander claimed that he won the primary because he did not run away from his record, he aired a deceptive ad in the final week of the campaign that claimed he “voted to end amnesty.”
Those who support enforcement of America’s immigration laws are giving him (and his supporters in Tennessee) the business:

What an ahole Alexander is.
True, but let's also add dumb bass to the list. How stupid to think this should be done before the body is cold. How stupid not to know that the border crisis has totally turned the entire electorate anti immigration. How stupid his consultants must be to read out of the formulaic and failed playbook that says "go right in primary but you must move left towards the center for the general election blah blah blah. And how stupid he is for believing them. A hole? YES. Dumb ass? YES YES.
We need a grassroots write-in for Texas too?
I’m sure this is a result of his political advisors telling him that, now that the primary is secure, he must tack to the left to win the general. Since the left wants amnesty, that’s the shore that Lamar! is sailing towards.
His political advisors have tin ears.
True
on all of this, you and I reached the same conclusion.
Amazes me how such simple, and WRONG, assumptions are what drives these high paid wizard consultants. They all believe just a couple things: go left in general elections, and get moderate vote by pretending to be moderate, and money /votes are a 1/1 correlation.
None of that is correct, and yet, they all claim wizard status by believing it.
I just don’t get it. Folks are screaming for conservative leadership yet these RINO pukes keep getting put back in office.
Do we have some of the dumbest damn voters ever in the U.S.?
When a politician is in office for like three or four freakin decades....isn’t time to boot’em folks?
Good Grief!!!!
Well sure. Because they KNOW we’ll still vote for them in the General. They could throw people out of airplanes and we’d still vote for them. Oh many here won’t, but most will just line up because it doesn’t matter who we elect as long as it isn’t a LibTard.
So how’s that attitude working out?
ping
“Writing in Joe Carr in the General.”
Count me in, the HELL with Lamar.
Can someone else air that deceptive ad, again and again.
This would force “Lamar” to acknowledge that being “for” amnesty and being “against” amnesty — at the same time — is DISHONEST.
I agree——but who should we write in?
I may write in Michael Berry.
Lets just give amnesty if they live in Tennessee. They are the ones who put him back in office.
Come on now. Its an election, he’s taking DC by force. The electorate put him there. What does that make them?
Don’t know much about him-—I’ll look him up.
Lamar has aggravated the snot out of me for many years. The ONLY reason I voted for him last time was to try to keep the pres__ent from having a 60 vote majority. I now don’t even care if the GOPe has an opportunity to take over the senate. I will not vote for that man. I can’t quite bring myself to vote for the democrat, but I will write in Joe Carr.
Ignorant. Pliable. Stupid. Doesn't change what I said about Lamar and his critics though.
