I’ve never heard of the “Club for Growth”
and I like to find out for myself...
Fleischmann has two BIG negatives in my mind.
1. He’s associated with the King of pettiness and Mr. “chip on his shoulder” Mike Huckabee.
2. He’s a trial lawyer.
That being said, he seems conservative, and 99% of the time I will vote Republican over the Democrat except in extreme situations, so I’d support him.
The Club for Growth is a fiscal conservatve/economic freedom PAC that supports candidates that are like-minded. Huckabee hates them because they attacked him in the 2008 primaries.

Two words prove you wrong:
Mark Levin
The CFG is business oriented.
I like them but they are soft on amnesty and sort of neutral on social issues. I consider them an ally most of the time but if those issues are important to you (to me they are) then you’ll find they don’t always support a choice every conservative would like.
If you dont like Jews, I guess you would like a guy with an Islamic sounding name...
Haslam...
Whatever you say Herr Himmler.
With 95 percent of precincts reporting, Fleischmann had 25,820 votes, or 29 percent of the vote, to former state GOP chairwoman Robin Smith's 24,968, or 28 percent. Fleischmann won the endorsement of former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and mostly self-funded his campaign.
I like them but they are soft on amnesty"
The one explains the other: there is a class of "Wall Street Journal Conservatives" who only see wetbacks as cheap labor, not as the threats to our culture and our very sovereignty that they are.
Huckabee, otoh, is a populist windbag who combines the worst of "The Kingfish" Huey P. Long and George C. Wallace.
His so-called "Fair Tax" proposal alone should be ample proof of that.
Anyone endorsed by Huckleberry is automatically suspect to me.
Chuck is a good guy. I would say he will be at least as dependable a conservative vote as the man (Zach Wamp) he will replace, and that’s better than average. Chuck IS a trial lawyer, but still one of the most honest people around. The association with Huckster is troubling, but he will be fine. Certainly NOT a RINO.
