Yes, you read that right. As the Democrat party<\/a> deals with the candidacies of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders<\/a>, Martin O’Malley, and possibly Elizabeth Warren<\/a> there is a quieter, more rational candidate. His name is Jim Webb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jim Webb was interviewed on Fox News Sunday<\/a> today. The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about the interview.<\/p>\n

The article posted Jim Webb’s remarks about the direction his party has taken:<\/p>\n

BRET BAIER<\/a>: You mentioned the Democratic race. In the RealClearPolitics<\/a> average of polls, you\u2019re at about 2.3 percent, and well behind the front runner, Hillary Clinton. You have an uphill climb against this Clinton machine. Most political analysts will tell you that Democrats have moved resolutely to the left and that basically Hillary Clinton has renounced Clintonism, which really was the vital core of the center, used to be, in your party. In a party that seems to thrill to Bernie Sanders<\/a> and maybe long for Elizabeth Warren, who are the Jim Webb Democrats?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JIM WEBB: I believe we can bring a different tone to the Democratic Party. You\u2019re right. The party has moved way far to the left, and that\u2019s not my Democratic Party, but in and of itself. We need to bring working people back into the formula. Next Saturday, in the far southwest of Virginia there\u2019s going to be a medical clinic, a remote area medical clinic to take care of people who don\u2019t have medical insurance. It\u2019s out at the Wise County fairgrounds. I hope Fox will go down there and take a look at it. They\u2019ll going to take care of at least 6,000\u2026 people with no medical care. They\u2019re going to pull about 3,000 teeth. These are people who have been forgotten by both parties and, I think, they need a voice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Democrat party has claimed for years to represent the forgotten man. However, both the Republican and Democrat parties have been taken over by special interest groups that have forgotten the forgotten man. Very few Americans are currently represented by either party establishment. It is time for Americans to begin to take back whichever party they choose to support. The time for allowing the establishment of both parties to do what is in the interest of their party rather than what is in the interest of America is over. There used to be small-government, constitutional conservatives in both political parties. Now it is hard to find those people in either party. It is up to the American people<\/a> to elect people who will support the U.S. Constitution<\/a> as the law of the land and who will actually represent the voters and not the political class.<\/p>\n
