Comments on: Lamar Alexander to Support Sotomayor – A Knife in the Back of Republicans, the Constitution and Conservatism http://www.redstate.com/hogan/2009/07/30/lamar-alexander-to-support-sotomayor-a-knife-in-the-back-of-republicans-the-constitution-and-conservatism/ Just another RedState: Conservative News and Community weblog Thu, 23 Jun 2011 20:27:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Adjoran http://www.redstate.com/hogan/2009/07/30/lamar-alexander-to-support-sotomayor-a-knife-in-the-back-of-republicans-the-constitution-and-conservatism/#comment-902 Adjoran Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:08:11 +0000 http://www.redstate.com/hogan/?p=301#comment-902 That is a vicious slander which has been perpetuated simply because it is so easy to visualize. BUT while a lap dog may fetch your slippers, he cannot lay out your clothes and help you dress, or fix you a nice cup of tea with just the touch of lemon you like, or open the door for you. Lindsey is no mere "lap dog" at all; he is McCain's VALET. Show a bit more respect in the future, please!

Is that still allowed? I am starting to think the time demand it. his constituents tarred and feathered him and rode him out of town on a rail next time he was in Knoxville? Is that still allowed?

He responded to an email I sent regarding the Cap and Tax bill saying that he wouldn't vote for the bill because the costs imposed were too draconian, especially during these difficult economic times. Sounds good, right? He then went on to say that we did however, need to pass legislation that would substantially reduce our carbon output and that he would be working with other members of the Senate and House toward that end in the future because the threat of AGW was too great. I about puked. He didn't even reference the fact that EPA had suppressed their own internal study(ies) that contradicted "accepted" science on AGW which I had discussed in my email, or any of the other cites I gave showing growing opposition to AGW in the scientific community. Similar to previous responses on other issues....starts out sounding like a Republican/Conservative and then goes all Al Gore on you. I almost called his office and asked what the H_## he was doing calling himself a Republican but I didn't. Not so this time. l am going to call or visit and tell him and/or his staff that he just needs to pull an Arlen Specter and be "honest" with his constituents here in Tennessee about his true love for all things Liberal. Corker is at least a bit better in some instances but not much. Alexander is worthless, worse than worthless.

I think that Lamar Alexander is seriously schizophrenic... Just when you think he's starting to act and vote like a responsible conservative, he goes and does something like THIS! And we're stuck with him for another 5 years... How depressing. When your (R) elected officials are no more reliable than the blue dog (dead dog?) (D)s. I just hope the polite gentleman who answered the phone (I know this isn't HIS fault) has the guts to pass my comments on verbatim... !

Better the devil you know. Sure be shocked to see Conservatives campaign against them all. Anyway what bills DOES Lamar vote for. Who donates to his campaign? Who are his friends an associates? Note that to gain control of Congress Rahm sets up Donk-lites to run against squishes in the GOP.Rahm andthe Donks run to center. Sotomayor pretends she is the re-incarnation Of Chief Justice Rehnquist. WE never learn. get rid of him, We should have a Squish Hall of Shame, List them all and campaign against them.

That sounds like a legitimate issue to me to vote against her.. Sad we have to worry about our own party along with the dems.

Her copy of the Constitution seems to skip from the 1st to the 3rd. But her copy does seem to have an additional clause that I can't find elsewhere: "Congress shall make no law restricting abortion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or the right of the people to petition the Government for payment for such services." If her past actions weren't enough to indicate that she lied repeatedly under oath during her hearing, then her admission that the 2nd amendment doesn't really count should be enough to cause anyone with half a brain to vote no. if a nominee were to say about the 1st amendment what Sotomayor said about the 2nd?
