The TEA Party has the RINOs in their crosshairs:
Bad News for Lamar: Tea Partiers Vow to Stand United | Pith in the Wind
Bad News for Lamar: Tea Partiers Vow to Stand United | Pith in the Wind
The tea party settled one question this afternoon at a meeting to audition candidates to challenge Sen. Lamar Alexander in next years GOP primary. Both Joe Carr and Kevin Kookogey promised they'll drop out of the picture if tea partiers are rallying behind the other guy.
Carr, a three-term state representative from Murfreesboro, took the pledge in his opening statement to the crowd of roughly 300 at the Sheraton Music City Hotel. It was the first of five meetings to vet potential challengers to Alexander and to conduct secret straw polls. At the end of September, tea partiers will add up the votes and decide which candidate to back. Carr said if its not him, hes out.
Were all here for one reason and one reason only, and thats to beat Lamar Alexander for the United States Senate. Before I go any further, Im going to tell you that this process is so important that weve got to unite around one candidate. However this process works out, I pledge to you that I will support that candidate because its that important. We as principled constitutional conservatives can no longer allow ourselves to be divided. We need one candidate who can run against Lamar who can win this election and carry the banner of constitutional conservatism to the United States Senate.
