Toni, at the Bear Creek Ledger (who I’ve just added to my Tennesseans blogroll), was at a LAMAR! rally over the weekend in Cookeville, TN and reports that our weak-kneed Senator is ready to bow down and start gobbling whatever President Junior spills out in way of his Amnesty bill. Do we get chips and salsa with that betrayal, Junior?
I’m sitting there and my friends are expecting me to be confrontational but to our surprise it wasn’t me but our friend Sherry who interrupted Lamar while he was speaking. I almost cracked out laughing (if you knew Sherry then you would understand). Sherry told Lamar how people had no trust in the politicians since there had been 6 amnesties given since 1986 and nothing had been done to enforce our laws or secure our borders. She told him no one trusted those in Washington to secure our borders. We had lost confidence in them.
People clapped after Sherry’s statement. Lamar returned to his agenda of extolling his virtues and self promotion. He told us he’d talk for a few minutes, show his video and then would be there to take questions individually. At that point one of the men erupted talking about the immigration deal made behind closed doors with La Raza. Then things got a bit testy and Darrin from the Putnam County Republican Party also got combative. He basically told the guy this is our party and if you don’t like it leave. Darrin finally settled down a bit and told the audience this is how it’s going to be…..Lamar will speak for a few minutes, then show the video and then he will take individual questions from people. There wasn’t going to be any townhall type forum here. My guess? Lamar can’t take having to answer questions to a large group of people who weren’t of his “sort”! Lamar really doesn’t want to get his hands dirty with the little people, you know, the constituents.
Absolutely. He’s always been this way, though. It’s no surprise that he has no interest in listening to what his rank-and-file constituents have to say, because they’re not the ones bankrolling his career as lifelong politician. The ones that are bankrolling his career are the ones slapping him on the back, dropping checks in his coat pocket and telling him to get on board the cheap Mexican labor train.
Kudos to Toni and her crew for making the trip to Cookeville and holding Limp Lamar accountable for his RINO horseshit.
