I like the truth this man is saying, and I'm going to vote for him.

It's about time someone within the democratic party is willing to tell the truth and run for office. I only wish we had more of them doing so within the democratic party. Who knows, I might vote for him in 2010.

Wow, two users with consecutive UIDs that have been members for less than an hour.

Smells like socks in here.

P.S. If the Obama administration is far left, then I'm Notorious B.I.G.

Calling to the underworld. Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls.

"Meet Eric Pearson": A Reputable Biographical Account of Eric Pearson, Democratic Party candidate for U.S. Congress, 5th Congressional District, Tennessee.

Mr. Pearson, posting this message on the internet from Tennessee to texas does not make you a candidate. It makes you a spammer, and your bellicose rhetoric does nothing to advance any more sensible policies for our state or nation. That is all. Goodbye.

- If you're going to troll a message board with your socks, it helps to establish them for a week or two first. Make some lighthearted comments on lifestyle threads, pop a joke or two... really establish the writing style of your personas, you get me?

- I'm not the world's biggest fan of the Dems but even I think you're distasteful attacking your "own" the way you do. So much so, in fact, that I am thoroughly convinced you're nothing more than a straw man, hoping vainly to create the perception of a rift in a party that even I have to admit is gaining a disturbing amount of traction. (Well, everywhere in the state but here, thank God.)

- If you want to position yourself as some kind of reformer, it helps not to sound like EVERY FREAKIN' BODY ELSE who has ever tried and failed to wear the mantle. Less yap, more work.

- Above all else, don't quit your day job. Unless, of course, this is it. A McDonald's somewhere desperately needs someone to clean its bathrooms.

PROGRESSIVE (n.): An "outside-the-box" thinker who refuses to think outside of their own box.

Been saying that since 1982 & will say it again in 2010.

Jim Cooper for Congress!!!!

So Pearson isn't progressive or left enough? Is that the point?

Lykins, should you be accusing anyone of being a spammer? You do pretty well in that regard yourself. Kettle and bot issues?

The linked story really shows how Jim's mind works.

I've known Jim a long time & he's always been able
to find the "sweet spot" in legislation to get a
bill passed & signed into law.

It doesn't matter if one agrees with what Jim has
to say & many that post & comment on Knoxviews don't.

But it does matter,on health care reform,to listen
to what Jim has to say.

Because:

1.Jim's been involved with the health care
issue for nearly 2 decades & knows it backwards
& fowards.

2.What Jim supports,in the conference committee health care reform bill,is what will be close to the bill that passes & the President signs into law.

Again Eric..thanks for the link.

I am a Democrat of the Democratic Party, and I do not agree with our Democratic Party representatives in Washington.

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. Socialists have always sought to leverage corruption for the sake of power.

Without doubt a large majority of our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are tainted by corruption, and the liberals among us are supporting the ideologies of progressives with their agendas based on moving our Nation deeper into a socialist form of government. This is a real threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.

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.
