Channel 5 had Mark on their “Inside Politics” program last week. He’s a well-spoken young man and other than a little Ron Paul kookiness on a couple of issues, he seems like a nice enough fella. He said that since he wasn’t able to raise money for his campaign, he went door-to-door to talk to people and explain his views and ask for their votes. He also said most of the people he spoke to agreed with his stances on most issues.
After Mark, they had one of the TN Dem. Party officials on and that guy came across as a raving lunatic. He was furious Mark had won the primary because Mark “doesn’t represent TN Democratic values”. Apparently, he represents the values of 50,000 or so TN democrats because they voted for him! LOL!
This whole thing has been a lot of fun to watch. The idiots in the TN Dem. Party have made the Party a laughing stock. And they may just open the eyes of a lot of dems who long for the old Dem Party - the Party that existed before the Progressives took over.
It’ll be interesting to see how many votes Mark gets in November. I seriously doubt he’ll win the election but the Party may discover they don’t represent the values of most Tennessee democrats. We’ll see what happens.
“I seriously doubt he’ll win the election but the Party may discover they don’t represent the values of most Tennessee democrats.”
I’ve been amazed at how long the Democrat party has been able to keep its base subjected to its radical agendas. Most Democrats I have known as individuals supported their country, their family, their church and worked for a living - often very hard and at very low pay. The whole ‘urban values’ Fauxshevik thing that has metastasized since 1968 seems to be fringe even within that party.
