It’s been a constant as far back as most of us can remember that Democrats have been playing fast and loose with their variation of the sociopathic mental disorder known as projection: disparaging others for doing what they knowingly do themselves.

Today’s Democrat Party and their media depend on the cultivated ignorance of their voters to portray Republicans as extremists for daring to look into numerous, blatant irregularities in the 2020 election while demanding the American people accept Democrat victories as legit and final simply because they say so. No denial is tolerated when the Democrat wins.

However, it IS standard operating procedure for Democrats to reject Republican victories despite their convenient denials….

Biden and Democrats have a long history of contesting election outcomes.

Many Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barbara Lee (D-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), have cast doubt on every single Republican presidential victory in the last two decades.

Every single Democrat president since 1977 has cast doubt on the legitimacy of U.S. elections.

As recently as this year, Biden cast doubt on the legitimacy of the upcoming 2022 midterms.

DEMOCRATS CALLED THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ‘STOLEN’, ‘FRAUDULENT’, AND A ‘COUP D’ETAT’

For years, Democrats have refused to accept the results of the 2000 presidential election.

Al Gore repeatedly claimed that he was the real winner of the 2000 election.

In 2002, Gore claimed he “would have won” if every vote in Florida was counted and that he “absolutely” believed he would become president after the ordered recount.

Gore’s wife, Tipper, said that “I still believe we won“.

In 2016, Gore brought up the 2000 election during a rally for Hillary Clinton and did not refute chants from the audience saying he won.

In 2017, Gore implied Jeb Bush “may have had something” to do with him losing Florida.

Gore, in 2017: “Actually, I think I carried Florida.”

Hillary Clinton, more than once, questioned the legitimacy of the 2000 election.

In 2002, Clinton said Bush had been “selected” and not elected president.

In 2016, Clinton said that the Supreme Court “took away a presidency” in Bush v. Gore.

Then-President Bill Clinton in 2001 claimed that Gore actually won the election, suggesting that all the votes in Florida were not counted and that the Supreme Court had altered the outcome.

Clinton: “The only way [Republicans] could win the election was to stop the voting in Florida.”

Former President Jimmy Carter has repeatedly denied the results of the 2000 election.

Carter, in 2005: “There is no doubt in my mind that Al Gore was elected president“.

Carter, in 2014: “I don’t think that George W. Bush won the election in 2000″.

Terry McAuliffe repeated claims that the 2000 election was “stolen” for over two decades.

Repeatedly in 2001, then-DNC Chairman McAuliffe claimed that Al Gore won the election.

In 2004, McAuliffe falsely accused Republicans of “stealing” the 2000 presidential election.

In 2008, McAuliffe accused Republicans of “stealing” the 2000 election in his autobiography.

In 2017, McAuliffe once again claimed that Al Gore “did win the election“.

In 2021, McAuliffe doubled down on his previous “stolen” election claims and refused to say that Bush won the 2000 election.

Former presidential candidate Rev. Jessie Jackson, Sr. said Gore’s election was “essentially taken and stolen“.

Former DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) in 2016 said that Al Gore won Florida.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a member of the January 6^th Committee, has repeatedly suggested the 2000 election was illegitimate.

In 2002, Raskin wrote that the Supreme Court had “[frozen] the election results” in an “outrageous assault on democracy,” saying the Court had “determine[d] the outcome of a presidential election“.

In 2003, Raskin called Bush America’s first “court-appointed president.”

15 House Democrats even objected to counting Florida’s electoral votes.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) questioned the 2000 Florida election results, calling them “fraudulent” and staging a walkout of the House chamber.

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) questioned the integrity of the election and “the future of our democracy“.

Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) claimed that there was “overwhelming evidence” that Bush did not win the 2000 election and vowed there would be “no peace” as a result.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) called the Florida electoral count “inaccurate“.

Former Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) said that Bush “was not elected,” saying in 2004 that Bush was chosen by the Supreme Court and that the election was stolen in a “coup d’état“.

DEMOCRATS REPEATEDLY CAST DOUBT ON THE LEGITIMACY OF THE 2004 ELECTION

The election in 2004 was no different than 2000, with Democrats once again denying the results of an election they did not agree with.

In 2005, then-Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and then-Rep. Stephanie Tubbs (D-OH) filed an objection to the certification of Ohio’s electoral college votes.

31 House Democrats voted to reject electoral votes from the state of Ohio, including Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), James Clyburn (D-SC), and now-Senator Ed Markey (D-MA).

In 2005, House Democrats authored a report claiming there were “‘numerous, serious election irregularities” in Ohio’s presidential vote.

John Kerry raised questions about the election on multiple occasions, claiming that many voters were “denied their right to vote; too many who tried to vote were intimidated”.

In November 2005, New York University professor Mark Crispin Miller said that John Kerry told him he thought “the election was stolen”.

Kerry’s wife Teresa Heinz Kerry also claimed the presidential election could have been hacked and stolen.

In 2004, then-DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe commissioned a “comprehensive investigative study on election practices in Ohio” to address “legitimate questions and concerns”.

In 2006, then-DNC Chairman Howard Dean stated that he was “not confident that the election in Ohio was fairly decided” in 2004.

In 2008, Dean accused Republicans of stealing elections and inferred they stole the election in 2004.

Then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) questioned the “integrity” of electronic voting machines in the 2004 election.

In January 2005, then-Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) claimed there were many “legitimate” questions regarding the “accuracy” and “integrity” of the 2004 election.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) applauded objections to the 2004 election and thanked Sen. Boxer for objecting to Ohio’s electoral votes, saying voters can’t be confident their vote will be counted.

Then-Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) applauded Sen. Boxer and Rep. Tubbs Jones for objecting to Ohio’s electoral votes, calling their objections an “important service for American democracy”.

Harkin also accused Republicans of a “concerted effort to suppress the vote” and suggested electronic voting machines could lead to “serious fraud”.

Then-Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) in 2005 applauded Democrat efforts to contest the 2004 election, called the election “flawed,” and suggested problems may have been the result of “manipulation”.

Then-Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) alleged “systematic voter disenfranchisement” and faulty voting machines in the 2004 election.

In September 2008, then-Sen. Barrack Obama (D-IL) joked about the 2004 election, saying it helps that in Ohio “Democrats are in charge of the [voting] machines” in the upcoming election.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) questioned the use and efficacy of electronic voting machines in the 2004 election.

In January 2005, then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) praised Sen. Boxer’s challenge of the election, saying the debate is “fundamental to our democracy”.

Pelosi said it is “appropriate” to have the debate concerning the 2004 election and claimed that there were “legitimate concerns” regarding the “integrity” of U.S. elections.

Then-Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) argued the 2004 election was “riddled with unnecessary problems”.

Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL) claimed the 2004 election contained widespread “fraud”.

Then-Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) claimed that “dirty tricks occurred across the state” of Ohio in the 2004 election.

Then-Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-MO) blamed “inadequate and malfunctioning” electronic voting machines for “numerous irregularities”.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) claimed democracy was once again “thwarted” in 2004 and blamed the use of electronic voting machines for voter suppression.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) said, “the system of voting broke down Nov. 2, 2004” and called for an independent audit of discarded ballots.

Jackson Lee then said, “we cannot declare that the election of November 2^nd, 2004 was free and clear and transparent and real for all of those who attempted to vote”.

Then-Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-CA) in 2005 attacked the efficacy of voting machines saying they “can’t be trusted.”

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) repeatedly claimed there were irregularities in the 2004 election.

In November 2004, Nadler said that “we are requesting an investigation into all the allegations, of irregularities with respect to the electronic and other voting machines”.

In November 2004, Nadler said that “well, we have received…any number of communications, e-mails, everything about all kinds of irregularities”.

In December 2004, Nadler said that “paper ballots are extremely susceptible to fraud”.

In January 2005, Nadler said the right to vote was “stolen” from voters.

Then-Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) cast doubt on the security of electronic voting machines in the 2004 election saying he was “worried” that some machines do not have a paper trail.

Then-Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said Boxer And Tubbs performed a “very valuable public service” and stated he was concerned with all “reports of voting problems in many parts of the country”.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said the problems with the Ohio election could have been “outcome determinative”.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2006 wrote an op-ed claiming that Republicans “stole” the 2004 election.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. “questioned the legitimacy” of the election and suggested the Bush victory was the result of “fraud and stealing”.

Of course when their guy won, Democrats had nothing but uniform praise for the integrity of the 2008 and 2012 elections. Michelle Obama was finally proud of her country.

But when Donald Trump won in 2016….

DEMOCRATS REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THE 2016 ELECTION

In 2017, seven House Democrats tried to object to the 2016 election electoral votes.

After President Trump’s victory in 2016, 67 Democrats boycotted his inauguration, with many “claiming his election was illegitimate“.

After the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of the election and claimed the election was stolen from her.

In September 2017, Hillary Clinton said she would not “rule out” questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election.

In March 2019, Clinton smiled in agreement when former State Sen. Hank Sanders (D-AL) said the election was stolen from her.

In May 2019, Clinton said the 2016 election was “stolen” from her.

In September 2019, Clinton dismissed Trump as an “illegitimate president” and said “he knows” he stole the 2016 presidential election.

In October 2019, Clinton said that Trump knows that he is “an illegitimate president“.

In December 2019, Clinton nodded in agreement that she won the election.

In July 2020, Clinton said Trump is scared for Americans to see “how illegitimate his victory” was.

In October 2020, Clinton claimed that the 2016 presidential election was not conducted legitimately, saying, “we still don’t really know what happened“.

Former President Jimmy Carter said he believed that “a full investigation” would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said “I believe” Russian interference altered the outcome of the election.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) dodged answering whether Trump was “a legitimate president“.

Rep Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) said the “legitimacy is in question” of Trump’s presidency.

Then-Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) said he did not believe President Trump is a “legitimate president“.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) “applauded” John Lewis and said that he was “right on target”.

Then-Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) said that John Lewis’ remarks on Trump not being legitimately elected “are reasonable”.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) said “there absolutely is a cloud of illegitimacy” to Trump’s presidency.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said that Trump’s election was “illegitimate” and that Trump “is an illegitimate president“.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) justified his decision to object to certification saying Republicans engaged in “deliberate voter suppression … in numerous swing states“.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) refused to attend President Trump’s inauguration ceremony because Trump’s election victory was “tainted” by “foreign interference and voter suppression”.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) refused to say if Trump was a “legitimate president“.

DEMOCRATS HAVE CONTINUED TO CAST DOUBT ON OTHER ELECTIONS SINCE 2016

In 2018, Stacey Abrams refused to concede after losing the Georgia governor’s race and repeatedly challenged the “legitimacy of the election” after her loss.

Following her defeat, Abrams never conceded and continued to argue that she truly won the election.

Abrams said she would not concede a race that was an “erosion of our democracy,” was “not a free and fair election,” and was simply “not just“.

She called her defeat “fully attributable to voter suppression” and argued there was widespread voter disenfranchisement.

Many other prominent Democrats supported Abrams in her stolen election claims:

Hillary Clinton said Stacey Abrams “would have won” Georgia’s gubernatorial race “if she had a fair election” and that Stacey Abrams “should be governor” but was “deprived of the votes [she] otherwise would have gotten.”

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said “I think that Stacey Abrams’s election is being stolen from her“.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said that “if Stacey Abrams doesn’t win in Georgia, they stole it“.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said “the evidence seems to suggest” the race was stolen from Stacey Abrams.

Former Vermont Governor and DNC chair Howard Dean said Abrams “should not concede” and that the election was “almost certainly stolen”.

Obama Attorney General Eric Holder said “I tend to think Stacey Abrams won that election“.

After losing his Florida gubernatorial race in 2018, Andrew Gillum withdrew his concession and pointed to “questions over the handling of the vote” in certain counties.

In 2020, after losing his House race, former Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D-NY) called for authorities to investigate voting irregularities and issues of “massive disenfranchisement of voters“.

Former State Sen. Rita Hart (D-IA) contested the election results of her House race loss in 2020, arguing that ballots were improperly rejected.

BIDEN AND HIS OFFICIALS HAVE PUSHED STOLEN ELECTION CLAIMS

In both 2013, and in 2016, Biden claimed that Gore won the 2000 presidential election.

In May 2019, Biden said he “absolutely agrees” that Trump is an “illegitimate president“.

Kamala Harris has repeatedly cast doubt on election results over the years.

Following the Georgia gubernatorial race in 2018, Kamala Harris claimed that “without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia” and that Gillum would be “the governor of Florida”.

In 2019, Harris agreed that Trump was an “illegitimate president“.

Multiple Biden administration officials have a history of denying election results.

For nearly two decades, Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain claimed that Al Gore won the 2000 election.

Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted that the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race was stolen.

Jean-Pierre also cast doubt on the 2016 election, tweeting “stolen election …..welcome to the world of #unpresidented Trump”.

Kamala Harris’ Communications Director Jamal Simmons for years tweeted that Bush “stole” the 2000 election.

Cedric Richmond – Biden’s former Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement – said that John Lewis’ remarks on Trump not being legitimately elected were “reasonable”.

Then-Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), now Biden’s HUD Secretary, said that Trump “may not be a legitimate president“.

And there’s probably more to come after every election Democrats lose from here on, so Joe Biden should be careful when he refers to “election deniers” being “enemies of the state”.

Liberals may be numerically-challenged when convenient.

Republicans can count and that’s what they’re afraid of.

Let alone three (and counting) publications of such.

Former President Barack Obama touched on fraught issues of politics, race, and public dialogue in excerpts from an interview released today by the literary and free expression group PEN America. In conversation with Pulitzer-winning biographer Ron Chernow, the former president allowed that the racial upheavals of the past year, coupled with generational change, may herald a more bracing and forthright, less cautious treatment of race in the political realm. It comes just days after the president warned that phrases like “defund the police” could risk alienating allies of reform.

Then again, most of us aren’t Barack Obama and have loyal sycophants who’ll actually buy coffee table dust collectors.

In remarks that will be streamed as part of PEN America’s gala celebration on Tuesday, Dec. 8, President Obama spoke candidly about the differences between talking about issues of race as an American politician and as a writer. He contrasted discussions of race in the context of “politics and getting votes” with “truth-telling and the prophetic voice.”

Of course, there are a few things he left out….

The media wasn’t fair to him, conservatives weren’t fair to him, and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity destroyed his relationships with conservatives.

Any you can experience it all, from his own words… again.

The women of MSNBC are reshaping the television landscape

Now, while that looks great for all things women, equality, yada yada, this would not be considered a good thing if progressives couldn’t find a reason to piss on it, and given their propensity to call out anything non-inclusive, with good reason.

MSNBC proudly shared a Los Angeles Times article on Twitter boasting its female-dominated daytime programming, along with a photo of its five female daytime anchors. It was not lost on the public that all the women in the image were white.

The LA Times article was entitled “The Women Warriors of NBC” and detailed how five women – Stephanie Ruhle, Hallie Jackson, Andrea Mitchell, Katy Tur, and Nicolle Wallace — came to dominate its daytime programming. The article points out that this directive comes in light of criticism of the network for its “sluggish” investigation of sexual harassment claims at NBC.

Almost all of the tweet’s nearly 2,000 replies pointed out its lack of diversity. Soledad O’Brien, who previously worked for MSNBC and now hosts a weekly talk show produced by Hearst television, quoted the tweet and added, “Zero women of color in this picture.”
— Mediaite, 6/7/19

As context is everything when it comes to liberal hypocrisy, let’s not approach this as a one time case of a sensitivity misstep. This kind of thing has happened before and was celebrated.

Hillary Clinton attracts a rarity on the campaign trail — an overwhelmingly female press corps

With the exception of one who can play the people-of-color card when it best suits her, this bunch is all white as well and it appears to be a pattern that also happened where one would’ve least expected to see it, and it too was noticed.

Does the Obama Campaign Have a Diversity Problem?

Duh.

So, it would be unfair to single out MSNBC for favoring whites, especially white women, in selection for these high-paying gigs.

Liberals in media, in particular, appear to favor young and white, PERIOD. Remember this (again) when the sanctimonious, online or on our televisions, lecture Republicans and/or conservatives about anything “diversity”.

It’s not just a case of do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do; it’s clearly who MSNBC, CNN, and the broadcast news networks (thus their targeted demographics) prefer.

Just ask Congressional candidate Charlotte Bergmann after her appearance on Memphis’ Thaddeus Matthews radio program….

Note: This YouTube video was clearly created by someone not friendly to the Tea Party or black Republicans.

As Democrats have held almost all elected offices in the black community for more than 50 years, poverty, crime, and hopelessness has only gotten worse, can Mr. Matthews honestly say what liberals have done for black folk? Might it be just a tad disingenuous for him to blame Republicans for the plight of the Democratically-represented minority community?

No, that would take guts and Thaddeus Matthews would have to face the same small-minded humiliation he gave Ms. Bergmann.

In 2000, blacks faced a dilemma. Activists and Democrat politicians accused Republicans of racism. Over 90% of blacks voted for Democrats. But after the heated presidential election, Republicans controlled all three branches of government. In other words, blacks essentially had no political influence within the federal government.

After years of calling Republicans racists without less than a sliver of evidence to back it up, blacks demanded that the Republican Party reach out to them! Talk about nerve.

Ten years later, blacks find themselves on the same corner. After constant, baseless charges of racism, fourteen black Republican congressional candidates are making a game of it and many may actually win. The question is, how will this affect the Republican Party’s image in the black community?

Not much, seeing how many of these black Republicans will win in majority-white districts. What should the GOP do about it? If I were chair of the Republican National Committee, I’d say fuggeddaboudit.

I’ll venture to say that most black Republicans weren’t born that way. It took some life-altering revelation and a good amount of cojones to put oneself into the pariah column. Remember, blacks may be the only group in this country not allowed to have a diversity of political opinion. It’s Democrat or be damned. If you become a Republican, you can (and will) be ostracized by friends and family and be called racist names by the political left with impunity.

For that reason, GOP “outreach” in the black community is an exercise in futility that also puts the Republican Party in a position of weakness. Why would you be expected to reach out to a group that has consistently maligned your character?

One has to go through a kind of spiritual conversion to embrace Republicanism, because black Democrats have been trained to expect a promised entitlement in return for their support. While Democrats have gotten reelected by blacks with promises undelivered, I would hope the GOP would never resort to such pandering and make liberal-style promises to blacks they’d never offer any other Republican.

Let’s keep this in mind: almost every elected office in almost every black district in the United States is held by a Democrat. If Democrats are so great, the black community should be a utopia. Instead, it’s rampant with crime, poor schools, high unemployment, and the liberal message that unless you can rap or play basketball, you won’t amount to anything in racist America. So, here’s a check. Vote for us.

Let’s hope the Republican Party doesn’t try to top that.

Liberals know that if that 90% of black support dropped to (let’s say) 70%, Democrats would be in deep trouble when it came to most federal and presidential elections. Thus, keeping blacks on what we call the Democrat Plantation is a matter of party survival for Democrats.

Until black people jettison the politicians and activists who thrive (and profit) on keeping them down, an overture from the Republican Party will be met with the standard ridicule and futility. The black embrace of the GOP is something blacks themselves have to want by accepting Republican values as they are.

That won’t happen on November 2nd.

ATHOL — Part-time resident and former Republican candidate for state representative Bob Parks was interviewed recently, while in town, by an Australian production company shooting a documentary on the downturn in President Barack Obama’s popularity and the “Scott Brown effect” on American politics.

The main portion of the interview, conducted by video journalist Aaron Lewis, was filmed at AOTV studios in Athol, with some outside footage being shot around town. The documentary is being produced as part of Australia’s Special Broadcasting Service’s “Dateline” program (not to be confused with the American NBC news program of the same name).

The show is to air this month in Australia, and Parks, whose primary residence is in Manassas, Va., will be sending a DVD copy of the program to AOTV for airing on the local public access channel.

While in town, Parks took time out to discuss all things political, including the current race to fill the seat for state representative for the 2nd Franklin County District (currently held by Democrat Christopher Donelan, of Orange, and who is not running for re-election), and Brown’s election to the U.S. Senate.

Parks said that, during his own campaign against Donelan, he was tempted to ask him if he planned to leave the state legislature after attaining pension eligibility, or if he would pledge to the people who put him in office that he would not seek election as sheriff of Franklin County.

Parks said a reliable source had told him that was Donelan’s intent, but he chose not to call him on it, because “I didn’t know if the question would rub voters the wrong way, and would be seen as a personal attack.”

In hindsight, Parks said he wished he had posed the question, but noted, “it’s one of those what-ifs.”

Parks, who comments on all things political and more on his Web site Black & Right (www.black-and-right.com), said he doesn’t see that the district has improved much since his move south, and noted that the upside of Donelan’s decision to not seek re-election is that the “district will get some new blood and, hopefully, new blood that isn’t self-serving.”

Parks said he fully expects that the person elected to Donelan’s seat “will be an independent thinker and one who doesn’t think waiting for Boston to help [the district] is the way to go.”

He added that whoever wins the race should take a page from his own political play book and personally approach business executives and invite them to the area to show them what is available as a means to boost economic development in the region.

“The North Quabbin Chamber of Commerce does what it can, but [there is a need to be] aggressive, and a state representative has the clout to open doors,” he said.

He added the focus should be on high-tech companies and others that attract young people and offer internships. Of the area’s younger generation, Parks said, “We need to give them more to aspire to than what is here. I would hope the new representative would get personal about economic development, and not leave it to state policy.”

Parks said one of the things that is going to work against such an effort if undertaken is the fact a program to create economic opportunity zones is being done away with by the Obama Administration and Beacon Hill. Such a program works to bring economic development to areas most in need. “Both administrations are not business-friendly,” he said.

Whether or not a Republican can win the district remains to be seen, but Parks feels it’s an uphill battle. “Personally, I don’t think Ronald Reagan could win here,” he said.

In support of his belief, he points to the fact Brown lost to Martha Coakley in the district, which includes the towns of Athol, Orange, Erving, Gill, Greenfield and Wendell. However, of those towns, Athol and Orange went to Brown, and Parks sees that as hopeful, but noted, “Voters in Athol and Orange see realities [the other towns] don’t. At some point, you have to stop voting against your own self interests.”

During his own campaign, Parks told supporters and others that if they wanted change they had to vote for it, but if they liked the status quo then they shouldn’t complain. He said he still hears complaints when he’s in the area.

For Parks’ in-depth opinion on the district’s voting results and political tendencies, read his Black & Right posting on the topic: My Massachusetts District Didn’t Learn A Thing.

While Parks appreciates what Brown was able to accomplish, he said he is “not a big fan of Brown.” In fact, when being interviewed for this article in mid-February, he even suggested Brown might be swayed to vote with Democrats on certain issues, an observation which has since proved itself true.

Parks said that the election of Brown and of Republican candidates in New Jersey and Virginia seems to have Democrats dumbfounded. “They seem to be totally mystified by the results,” he said.

He added that he takes issue with Democrats claiming that Bush winning the presidency with 51 percent of the vote equated to the country being strictly divided, while Obama taking 53 percent means their party has a mandate. “That’s sort of illustrative of the arrogance of Democrats,” he said.

Parks said he feels that Democrats are mostly out of touch with voters. To support his claim, he cites the fact poll results have shown voters largely against the proposed health care bill, yet “they don’t seem to listen and continue to ram down a bill nobody wants in [its current] form.”

Another example he cited was Coakley’s statement regarding former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, which was made during her campaign and accused him of being a Yankees fan. “You’d have to be on another planet not to know about the New York-Boston rivalry,” he said. “I think the remark was the final nail, and shows an elitism that puts people off.”

In contrast, Parks noted how Brown was out in front of the Garden in Boston talking with fans after a Bruins hockey game during his run for office.

Regarding his own political aspirations, Parks, who currently works as a video producer with the Media Research Center in Alexandria, Va., says if he were still a full-time resident in town he would consider running again for state representative.

A frequent guest on radio and TV programs, he said he has also been asked to run for political office in other states, including Florida, Oklahoma and Texas. To date, he has declined to do so.

Although he is unable to run for the 2nd Franklin County seat, and he lives over 400 miles away, his concern for the district remains solid and genuine. “I would do anything I could to help with economic development in the district, if I were asked,” he said. “I know people in Washington, but I don’t want to step on any toes.”
