Who is going to run against Lamar?
Does anyone know who the dems are going to put up against Lamar next year? Also, hopefully they will find someone to run against Marsha Blackburn.

2. Wasn't he elected in 2002?

That would mean he's up for election again in 2008. But Bob Clement is running for Mayor of Nashville right now so he won't be available to be his opponent this time.

5. Bob Clement (D) ran against Lamar Alexander (R) for Senate in 2002.

6. Yeah, I remember....
...but Lamar looks tired to me. Maybe its the lack of plaid in Washington?

4. I hope we can find someone to run against Marsha too....


http://blackburn.house.gov/Issues/Issue/?IssueID=3779">Some patriotic words from Representative Marsha Burnblacks....

Good morning constituents. TERRA, TERRA, TERRA!!!

Now I want MY people to know that I believe in the Patriot Act. I believe that the government has a right to listen in on your phone calls and rummage through your mail and even your dirty laundry to make sure you're not a terrarist. The hell with judges and warrants! And habeas corpus? What the hell is that?!?!?! Look, if you're in jail then you must be guilty. Why else would you be in there??? And I support the President's Executive Order confiscating the land, houses, cars and bank accounts of all traitorous Amuricans who disagree with him. What do people think this is, the land of the free???

And I also believe in KILLING THOSE DAMNED ISLAMOFACISTS TOO!!! So I always vote "NO" to artificial timetables surrendering OUR OIL to the Muslimos!!! NO SURRENDER TO ALLU, ALLA, ALLO -- WHATEVER THE HELL HIS NAME IS!!! MY GOD's NAME IS JEBUS AND DON'T ANYONE FORGET THAT!!! ESPECIALLY THOSE EVANGELICALS SITTING IN THE BACK. So yes, I want our boys to keep on fightin' and dying if they have to, and getting maimed for our right to have gas. We need the gas people!!! I HAVE THREE SUV's FOR GOD's SAKE!!! And Dick told me personally when I was invited to the White House that I'll be in the new regime when we take over. Scratch that. I wasn't supposed to talk about that....

Um...., oh! And another thing. I believe we need to secure our borders. Those damned Mixicans keep coming up here to Tennessee and taking away all our poor folks chicken-plucking jobs. This will not stand as long as I'm in Congress. Let them go back home and pluck tacos or something. When my fellow Tennesseans fought at the Alamo to take away the Mixican's land, we stole it fair and square!!! So no coming back buddy. I have only this message to the Mixican government: "find you some other country to invade and steal their land like we did. Right is right."

And you know.... them terrarists from 911? They was all here on expired visas!!! YES!!! THEY WAS EXPIRED!!!! Now what about that?!?!?! I know, I know, you're gonna say that it was Georgie's guys that let em' in. And hell yeah, I know that they was all from Saudi Arabia, our allies in the GWOT. But people, they was BAD Saudis, not the good kind like Georgie's pals. There's always some bad apples in the barrel. Look at the governor right here in our own state!!! {heads nodding in agreement}

The fact is that most Saudis just love us to DEATH!!! And they love democracy too. In fact, I'm thinking about sponsoring a bill for us to pattern our government after the Saudis. First of all, you don't have to stay on a diet when you're wearing burqas all the time. And I don't mind having the men tell me what to vote for. Its my Christian duty to listen to the men and do what they say {a spontaneous standing ovation from the back of the room - all men}. And I also think that if we let a few hands get lopped off, and two or three heads start to rolling, and I'll guaran-damn-tee you we won't be having no more complaints and protests about the GWOT. Not for long anyways.

So vote Amurican. Vote for me. Vote for me like your life depended on it.....
