Nashville hasn’t had a Republican Mayor since Grover Cleveland’s 1st term. We’ve had nothing but ever-increasing leftist Democrat Mayors for 4 decades, with Karl “Marx” Dean being the worst to date. He married into Republican wealth and used his late father-in-law’s money to buy his offices.

Fieldmarshaldj pretty much confirmed what I assumed... he may be mayor of a city in the "deep south", but like most big city mayors I figured he's likely a far left socialist like the mayors of Atlanta, Georgia or Houston, Texas (also in the "deep south"). If so, I wouldn't put much stock in the fact he's openly promoting gay marriage. "Karl Dean" is a fitting name for this guy, he sounds like the unholy offspring of Karl Marx and Howard Dean.

According to Wikipedia, Dean claims to be "Catholic" (psst.. Bishop of Nashville... I found a good candidate for excommunication!) but he was raised in Massachuttes so that explains it. I'm guessing he's to the left of the likes of Mayor Bloomberg and Mayor Daley.

Now, if the mayor of Provo, Utah starts pimping gay marriage, then we're REALLY doomed.
