Conservatives to Sen. Alexander: Time to Retire:
A group of tea-party and conservative organizations urged Sen. Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.) to retire rather than seek a third term next year, signaling that tea-party activists have zeroed in on a new target as they try to pressure incumbent Republicans from the right.
In an open letter published Wednesday, 20 groups based in the state attacked Mr. Alexander, saying the country “can no longer afford compromise and bipartisanship, two traits for which you have become famous.” (emphasis mine)…
“America faces serious challenges and needs policymakers who will defend conservative values, not work with those who are actively undermining those values,” the letter said. “Quite honestly, your voting record shows that you do not represent the conservative values that we hold dear and the votes you have cast as Senator are intolerable to us.”
Kinda reminiscent of those Stalinist purges, ain’t it?
What’s next? They come into your office and hand you a pistol with one cartridge in it?

And yet they claim to promote "democracy". Go figure.
