Lamar must have a really tough time when he flosses his teeth, you know, trying to get all that hair out of his teeth. He really is a disgrace to Tennesseans, always saying he’s pro life when in fact he’s endorsed mandated taxpayer funded abortion. He came out in the Senate today to defend Senator Boxer against Senator Jim DeMint, the true hero of the Conservative movement in this country.

From Erick Erickson at Redstate:

Jim DeMint takes on the President over healthcare. He attacks the government run option. He scores solid points — solid enough that Barbara Boxer (D-CA), a woman disliked by many in her own caucus, is forced to respond. In her floor speech, Boxer says

“I want to take a minute to thank the Republicans who are working so constructively with our Democrats. You don’t hear them speaking much on the floor as you did the senator from South Carolina, who, as I say, was quoted as saying he wants to make health care President Obama’s Waterloo. He wants to break him on this. The ones — the Republicans that you don’t see here on the floor talking like that are the ones who are sitting with the Democrats, working day after day, night after night, working to solve this problem.”

Enter Lamar Alexander, playing the role of feckless crapweasel and serial capitulator. Remember, in 2008, Lamar Alexander told his Republican colleagues that they must capitulate to the Democrat agenda in order to win back the Senate. Everything they did, Alexander instructed his conference colleagues, must be bipartisan.

True to form, Alexander raced to the floor of the Senate to kiss Boxer’s rear end and kick DeMint in the gut. Alexander said

“I was listening with respect to the senator from California. Let me state the position of the Republican senators on health care reform. Our leader, Mitch McConnell, the senator from Kentucky, stated yesterday. He said to the news media outside in the hall in answer to a question, “This isn’t about winning or losing. this is about getting it right.â€? . . . .

My own example: last year I joined with Senator Wyden, a Democrat; Senator Bennett, a Republican, endorsing their plan. It’s not perfect, but it is a very good plan and it has a completely different approach than the bill that came out of the Senate health committee or that’s coming through the House.”

In other words, “Jim DeMint doesn’t speak for the Senate GOP. We too want socialized medicine, just not like the present legislation intends.�

Unfortunately, Lamar is safe until 2014, he just got re-elected so he doesn’t have to worry about his constituents in Tennessee. When he does run THEN he becomes Mr. Conservative, lying through out the state.
