Lamar Alexander: Uselessness In Human Form

Permalink 05:40:46 pm, Categories: Right-Winger Wringer, Democraps and Republitards  

Sen. Lamar Alexander, the dazed and confused Senator from East Tennessee, has accomplished nothing in his entire career. Now, we find him working even harder at accomplishing even less….

Lamar Alexander cares nothing for the people of Tennessee. That much has become abundantly clear. He is a reclusive, beltway insider politician who has been proven to be out of touch and out to lunch on all important issues facing the state, our people and the country in general.

Speaking at Obama’s Health Care Summit, Alexander said nothing and offered nothing other than the same, canned Republican obstructionist lines.

Speaking for his party, Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander told the president at the opening of a health care summit Thursday that he should scrap the health care bill Senate Democrats passed on Christmas Eve and start fresh from a clean sheet of paper.

Alexander said Republicans represent the views of a great number of Americans who oppose the Democratic approach. He said Republicans agree with many of the president’s ideas for controlling health care costs and that both parties should work “step by step toward that goal.”

Said Alexander: “This is a car that can’t be recalled and fixed and we ought to start over.”

No, Senator. This is not a “car", this is the lives of the American people and the people of the state you’re supposed to be representing. Your years as a Senator have yielded nothing. Absolutely nothing for this state.
Start fresh? Why? We started fresh months ago and Republicans contributed nothing but filibuster. 100% aligned against any kind of reform. What good would starting over do? Congress can amend the present legislation any time.
What is it that Senator Alexander is going to propose if we “start over” that he seemingly cannot propose at the summit?

Truth is, Lamar Alexander and the GOP have nothing to propose other than to run when the legislative going gets tough. Just drop it and run away. That is the conservative platform on health care reform. And in a time when Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen is threatening to cut even more TennCare benefits, the people of the state of Tennessee could really use some Obama Care right about now. Especially since our elected officials, like Alexander and Rep. Phil Roe, have no intention of doing anything to help their people. Imagine the money the state would save if National Health Care replaced TennCare.

Sen. Alexander has the seniority to relieve many of Tennessee’s woes yet he does nothing other than play party politics with our health and our lives. Nothing, not one major accomplishment.

Tennessee is a poor state with a lot of poor people. We need universal health care. Clearly the President and many in Congress are fighting for our well being. Clearly, our Senator is not.
What’s he fighting for? That’s the easiest part to explain….

As we see HERE, Health Industry Corporations and other entities have provided Lamar Alexander with well over a Million dollars in lobbyist funds. Meanwhile, our loved ones die prematurely from lack of affordable health care.

Lamar Alexander is a disgrace to NE Tennessee. His priorities are obviously centered elsewhere and he has no clue what Tennesseans need. He is a self centered, hypocritical dunce that needs desperately to be replaced by a real Tennessean. The lights are on but nobody’s home.

This man must go.
