BWHAHAHAHA: WHO Will Be FIRST To Call Lamar Alexander A SOCIALIST?
Oh.I forgot, you belong to that party where such rules don't apply. :nuke:




" Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander favors a government takeover of BP Oil. On Face the Nation, the plaid-shirted one, who has railed against “government takeovers” in the past, suddenly thinks it’s a good idea. (h/t Think Progress)


" It looks like another Washington takeover " Lamar Alexander May 18th 2010

<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/19/business/19regulate.html?ref=business>




Lamar Alexander May 23 2010


Alexander: There’s one thing could do. Under the law, they could fire BP and take it over. But the truth is the federal government probably doesn’t have the capacity to do that. <...>


Q: But would you favor taking over BP if that became necessary?


Alexander: Sure, that’s up to the President to decide…Under the law the federal government can take it over if they choose. And I understand why they might not choose, but that option exists.

8. I live in TN. He is a douche.
If Obama did that, then next election cycle ol' Lamar would use it against him

6. Can I???? PLEEEEEEASE! Lamar Alexander is a dirty commie (more accurate than socialist,
in this regard).

But the irony burns, doesn't it?

10. There's nothing wrong with being a socialist. But Alexander's not one.
If the Feds don't take the lead in the BP mess, Alexander will scream that they should; if the Feds take the lead, Alexander will scream that they're botching it

What's coming out of his mouth is not actually an opinion: it's 100% negative noise, and it's predictable

12. I agree. Lamar is trying to bait Obama into taking the lead so he can turn around and claim
another ' Socialistic Washington Takeover ' by this administration.
