Gaining support from Democrat Voters who have abandoned their scandal ridden candidate Alvin Greene, U.S. Senate Green Party candidate Tom Clements hopes to make a progressive impact on the South Caroline General Election. Positioning himself as the qualified challenger to incumbent Republican Jim DeMint, Clements offers sound solutions that many within his campaign feel should be more appealing to Democrats and Republicans alike. Many wonder why even the Tea Party has chosen to get behind a big-government incumbent like DeMint, whom Clements characterizes as, “’a fat cat’ supporting bailouts and making great amounts of money from the Washington system, supported by a political action committee that spends freely – $2.6 million this year.”
Polling at 7% (down from 9%) in a recent Poll as “some other candidate” despite being the only other candidate, and with 10% undecided (down from 13%), if Clements can get the mainstream media to acknowledge him by name rather than resorting to juvenile and faux-journalism tactics (which unfortunately work; as apparent from his “some other candidate” drop in polls) he may be able to tap into Alvin Greene’s declining 20% support, and perhaps draw in former non-voters to support his campaign on election day. With three months left before the November 2nd election, maybe a conscious shift of the Tea Party away from the Big-Government Republican Party Incumbent Candidate DeMint could even put this populist-progressive, economically-responsible and Constitution respecting Green Party Candidate for U.S. Senate in Congress. What a country we’d have when Libertarians stop falling for Republicans, and Progressives stop falling for Democrats, and both unite in order to help each other win in their respective districts and bring our Government back to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands.
