Republican James Hart is running for the US House of Representatives in the 8th congressional district of Tennessee on a platform advocating eugenics:
http://www.jameshartforcongress.com/
The poverty genes of less ‘favored races’, which are spread by welfare and immigration, are destroying our cities no less than if they were hit by a nuclear bomb. Massive uncontrolled and illegal immigration portends not just the destruction of a few cities but of our whole civilization itself. If we had integrated with less ‘favored races’ centuries ago, there would have never been an electric light. There would never have been an airplane. Unless we stop dysgenic welfare and immigration policies, the US will look like one big Detroit.

Eugenics is a moral commitment not a racial affiliation and any race that accepted its moral responsibility to protect the right of it’s children to be born physically healthy and mentally capable could evolve into and become the next more highly evolved species above homo-sapiens. We are responsible for what our children will be. Our present tax and welfare system is redistributing life support systems away from the capable to the incapable and thus reducing the genetic quality of future generations. We are actually encouraging the least capable members of the human race to reproduce by giving them welfare grants and rewards for bearing more children.
If this is the best the GOP can muster for the largest legislative body in the land, I tremble for our country.
Dare I ask how he’s doing in the polls?
This has to be a joke or just some nut-job running “as” a Republican, while not being supported by the GOP.
Now here we have a state that’s so anti-evolution that it brought us the Scopes Monkey trial. Yet eugenics is an acceptible platform for a Republican candidate?
Something’s not quite right.

No, I still want some proof that this guy is the Republican candidate.
Looks like Mr. Hart slipped under the radar, getting the endorsement before letting these interesting beliefs be known.
Hence, the write-in candidacy of Dennis Bertrand, which has the support of the County Committees of the 8th District.
A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT REPUBLICAN DENNIS BERTRAND IN HIS EFFORT TO DEFEAT CONGRESSMAN JOHN TANNER
Whereas, a candidate named James Hart has filed as a Republican in the Eighth Congressional District who supports a racist and elitist view of man,
Whereas, Hart espouses the same brand of socialism advocated by Adolph Hitler and says that he believes that some races are “favored” over others and wants to “compete with Jesus Christ and Buddha for the destiny of man.”,
Whereas Hart himself said in a June 26 Commercial Appeal article: “I think they have every right to oppose my campaign and to have another candidate. I think it’s true that I don’t represent the ideas of the Republican Party.”,
Whereas, it is of the utmost importance for Republicans to unite around a strong Republican candidate to go against Congressman Tanner,
Whereas, a good conservative Republican candidate has stepped up to the plate to redeem our Party name and take on Congressman Tanner;
Whereas TeamGOP, a respected grassroots Republican activist group in West Tennessee has also endorsed Bertrand and asked other Republicans for support,
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Shelby County Republican Party that we strongly oppose the un-American and evil beliefs espoused by James Hart.
We agree with Dennis Bertrand that we “cannot in good conscience allow a candidate like James L. Hart to represent the Republican Party from the 8th Congressional District in the November General Election.”
We urge all 8th district Republicans to unite behind Dennis Bertrand and cast a write-in ballot for him in the August 5, 2004 election.
This resolution shall be sent to all appropriate media outlets and Republican Party Chairmen in the Eighth Congressional District.
Madison and Crockett Counties have also unanimously passed similar resolutions.

Despite his radical views, Hart may end up winning the Republican nomination because he is the only GOP candidate on the ballot in Thursday’s primary. His presence in the campaign has embarrassed Republican leaders, who were blind-sided by Hart after they didn’t bother fielding a candidate. Democratic Rep. John Tanner has held the seat for 15 years and is considered safe in November.
Republicans now desperately hope that a write-in candidate will stop Hart.
“I would characterize him as a racist, an elitist,” said write-in candidate Dennis Bertrand, a financial analyst and former military officer. “His idea of … genetically altering the human race in order to build a super race with super intelligence is appalling.”
There’s lots of stuff I hate about the GOP, but clearly they aren’t supporting this wacko.
Now, if he wins the nom and goes on to win the election, we’ll have to kick Tenessee out of the country.
D’oh! Mr. Moto beat me to it.
That appears to be so. Mr. Hart is running in the primary in pursuit of the nomination, he has no official sanction from the Republicans. I trust in the good sense and probity of Tennesseans, even such benighted souls who wander in the darkness of Republican politics. I firmly believe that Mr. Hart will recieve the calm inattention he deserves.
Should this prove not to be the case, I stand ready to heap scorn and derision upon him and anyone who supports him, as stern duty demands.
Minnesota had a republican candidate for Atty General a few years back that was batshit crazy. Institutionalized type batshit crazy, not your average republican batshit crazy. She claimed one of the state supreme court justices had implanted a chip into her head, and her first official act if elected would be to imprison the incumbant Atty General.
She had the same name as a local talkshow host, which why the informed republican masses chose her in the caucuses.
I don’t think we have much to worry about. I can’t imagine that it is considered smart political strategy to run on a platform of evolution in the bible belt.

“Poverty genes”? Does this mean that Bill Gates has “Rich Motherfucker genes”? Maybe we should be splicing RMF genes into everybody on Earth, and get rid of poverty!
I wonder… can I get some therapy with Incredibly Attractive To The Ladies genes?
It’s a crushing burden. You would be wise to reconsider.
Now let’s be fair. Hart did mention evolution in his platform:
“…any race that accepted its moral responsibility to protect the right of it’s children to be born physically healthy and mentally capable could evolve into and become the next more highly evolved species above homo-sapiens.”
And he’s an equal opportunity moron. Why, any race can take the initiative to preserve and enhance our vital bodily genes.

It’s like a reverse Chick tract without the crappy ink drawings! I love how Jesus refers to himself in the third person in his second line.
In fact, he has two sets.
I’m not responsible for this!
I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!
I’m so embaressed. :o :o :o :o :o
George Bush himself has said there is no room for racists in the Republican party. I didn’t know that was because all the slots were taken.
It’s a joke. That I stole. You know us black people got that stealing gene.
