Sarah Palin is a doing that endorsin' thing again.

Thank you, Lamar Alexander, for the respect and integrity you’ve shown in your many years of public service in Washington. With the new challenges in D.C., the time has come for new leaders who are willing to stand up to the political establishments and the Obama administration and say, “no mas!” (This and "cojones" may be the Spanish words that Sarah Palin even knows. And I am sure that Spanish speakers really enjoy hearing her use them.) Unfortunately, advocating and voting for amnesty, cash for clunkers, bailouts, raising the debt ceiling, and many controversial Obama administration nominees has marred the incumbent’s record. It’s time for a change. (What? You were reasonable and voted with the President on occasion? Well then you fail the completely irrational Right Wing purity test, and you have to go.)

Joe Carr is the new voice Tennessee needs in the U.S. Senate! Joe is a citizen legislator who brings his small business experience to bear in the Tennessee General Assembly. He’s stood up to those in his own party, fighting to enact some of the toughest illegal immigration legislation in the country and working to make Tennessee the 4th most business friendly state in the nation. Joe knows that government is most often the problem, not the solution, and he will work to reduce the size of our federal bureaucracy and always use the Constitution as his guide. (So to sum up, Joe is an ideologue, hates Mexicans, and will work to obstruct any progress in Washington. Perfect!)

It’s a disappointment that after so many years in office Senator Alexander has refused to debate Joe Carr in this campaign.  (That might be because Carr is so far behind in the polls that Alexander can barely see him in his rear view mirror.) Really, it’s pretty unbelievable because the good people of Tennessee deserve to hear from both these candidates to know who will be on their side and who will choose the Washington status quo. 

The conservative grassroots patriots in Tennessee have clearly spoken. When I visited there earlier this month, I was impressed by all the energy and momentum behind Joe Carr. (And exactly where did you see that?) Please join me in supporting him as the Volunteer State’s next Senator!

Interestingly enough when Carr wanted to host a fundraiser he did NOT invite Sarah Palin. Instead he invited conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham.

Who was able to attract a whopping 500 Tea Party activists to a hotel in Nashville. Which as we know is probably about 450 more than Palin would have attracted.

The Teabaggers are enthused about their possibility to pulling off another upset after Eric Cantor was kicked to the curb last month. However Alexander is a cagier candidate and has been preparing for a challenge from the Right all along:

“He’s covering all his bases,” said John Geer, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville who conducted polling on the race. “He shows no serious weaknesses.”

But even if he did have a chance, with Palin now waving her shriveled monkey paw at him he is all but doomed.

So now that the curse has once again been unleashed the fun is in watching it slowly strangling the life out of whatever hope Carr once had of emerging victorious. 

Kind of like watching a Tea Party puppy slowing being swallowed by a snake.
