Democrats Nominate Nutcase for Senate In Tennessee; Could Have Been Adverted

In 2008 a strange fluke in American politics happened that turned out to be one of the most bizarre events of that election cycle. Of course I’m talking about Alvin Greene, the inarticulate, mentally-deficient Air Force flunkey who won a statewide primary without even campaigning and became the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate from South Carolina.

That watershed moment should’ve been a wakeup call to the democratic establishment. Now history has repeated itself and a true lunatic has become the Democratic nominee for Senate in Tennessee in the form of Mark Clayton. He’s not just dumb, he’s deranged. He believes in the existence of FEMA prison camps, the existence of plans for a NAFTA superhighway, and opposes abortion rights for women and equality for gays.

Obviously Mr. Clayton is a real winner who embodies the values of Tennessee Democrats. Oh wait; except for he doesn’t, as the Tennessee Democratic Party lambasted him, saying that he’s a member of a hate group. Of course, this could have been prevented.

The man who could’ve stopped it is none other than Howard Dean.


Ya, we need Dean back.
