James L. HartJames L. Hart ran for the House of Representatives for Tennessee's Eighth District in 2004; he lost to incumbent Democrat John Tanner. Hart himself ran as a Republican, although the Republican Party disavowed him. Hart believes in withdrawal from NAFTA and an end to usury, and "workers' rights" generally. However, his most controversial and well-publicized political belief is his support for eugenics. He claims that certain races are "favored races" that produce high accomplishments such as the automobile, and that others are not. He wants to conduct a war on "poverty genes," which he claims reside, among other places, in Detroit. For his belief in eugenics, the Tennessee Republican leadership wished to have nothing to do with him and backed a competing write-in candidate. Hart received 26 percent of the vote (second place) in a largely self-financed campaign. External link Hart, James L.
