I was a delegate to the 2004 Democratic National Convention – Carol King appeared at our caucus; said something in favor of gay marriage, and the wimps in attendance were afraid to applaud, because they didn’t want to appear to criticize Kerry.

What whimps!!!

I’ve reached the point where I’d rather have a Republican who says, up front, that he’s working against me than a weak-kneed Dem who talks a good game but lacks the balls to ever do anthing about it.

Perhaps you should consider running in the Tea Party — you talk just like them.

Many of us are now ashamed to be Democrats. More than that, we have come to fear our own Democratic Party. Hatred and corruption – the roots of socialism – are on the march as they have never been before, and leading this march is our Democratic Party. Increasingly, mainstream Democrats are uncomfortable with what they are seeing in our party. All the more, we know it is dangerous.

We as Democrats are marching in a parade with people Harry Truman or even Jack Kennedy would not recognize – socialist (also know as progressives) who think that Western civilization began in 1969. Strangely, without meaning to, we the mainstream Democrats find ourselves representing this “socialist movement.” However, for the “socialist” within our Democratic Party, there is nothing so strange about it. Socialist have always sought to leverage corruption for the sake of power.

As a result, our Democratic Party has already lost the equivalent of every member we have acquired over the past seven years or more, and many of them are now supporting the tea party. More importantly, a recent Newsweek cover declared, “We are all socialists now.”

Meanwhile our middle-class families are looking for more than empty promises. They want to go back to work. And they want our Democratic Party representatives who run Washington to stop pursuing a big government, big spending agenda that includes a government takeover of health care, stimulus bills, a new national energy tax and taxpayer-funded bailouts.

In spite of everything our Democratic Party representatives in Washington will borrow $1.6 trillion this year, or about $15,000 for every household in the country. Over the next 10 years our federal government is expected to borrow an additional $8.5 trillion, and this is on top of the 12 trillion we currently owe. These figures are beyond being enormous, especially since we already pay one in seven dollars in interest.

Thank you, and God bless America

Eric Pearson, Democratic Party candidate for US Congress in the 5th district, Tennessee.
