On October 23, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate from Tennessee, Gordon Ball, debated five of his opponents. However, the Republican nominee, incumbent Senator Lamar Alexander, did not participate. The U.S. Senate race has nominees from the Green Party, the Constitution Party, and eight independents. Of all the partisan statewide races in the nation, the Tennessee U.S. Senate race has the most candidates on the ballot. See this story about the debate.
“…and Constitutional Party candidate Joe Wilmoth.”
Finally, one reporter, Joey Garrison of The Tennessean, apparently understands the correct name for the Constitution Party is “Constitutional” Party. It does my heart good to see him refer to their candidate’s party name correctly. Just simply look at any dictionary:
A word used in the “Adjective” form is a word with a noun used to qualify, limit, or define it.
Democratic is identified as an adjective.
Republican is identified as an adjective.
Libertarian is identified as an adjective.
Constitutional is identified as an adjective.
Constitution, on the other hand, is identified as a noun.
When are you Constitutionalists going to start calling your party by your correct name, and not have to let a news reporter do it for you?
I like Lamar Alexander, but he is a pussy for not debating.
I’m still a little surprised (if not disappointed) that some member(s) of the Constitution(al) Party have not attempted to explain why their party does not have a proper name to correlate with their philosophy.
If CONSTITUTION Party is their proper name, do they call themselves “Constitutionists?” Even the spell check does not recognize such a word as “Constitutionist.”
