Take The Party Back From Fat-Cat Developers

That goes for Democrats and Republicans alike.

First, it's the Dems turn. Voters in Tennessee have a clear choice when it comes to their Senate candidate in 2006.

Democratic candidate Rosalind Kurita states in a press release:

One day after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against private property owners in a case that has far-reaching implications for the future of property rights, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Rosalind Kurita said the court was wrong in its decision and that she would fight for federal action to preserve the rights of private property owners.

"The Supreme Court got it wrong," Kurita said. "The unusual interpretation of the 5th Amendment by a majority on the court means private property rights are subject to the will of the powerful with no checks and balances. America was built on the principle of private property, and this decision flies in the face of what our Founding Fathers intended."

While, fellow Democratic candidate Harold Ford Jr. believes:

"I've always believed individual rights are a big thing..... but, I find value in the court's decision. As long as people are compensated fairly, I can appreciate the decision. Certain areas in our state are crying for development, if this decision helps - it's a positive."

(Gee... it's nice to know Ford thinks individual rights are a "big thing." I guess actually upholding them is less important.)

Well, at least this is a no-brainer decision for Democrats.

Go Kurita!
