BATON ROUGE, La. The state Republican Party can count three more members among its fold in the Legislature.
Representatives Ernest Wooton of Belle Chasse, Dan "Blade" Morrish of Jennings and William Daniel of Baton Rouge have jumped to the G-O-P.
Their switches bring the G-O-P membership in the Legislature to 55: 40 members of the 105-member House and 15 members of the 39-member Senate
Rats fleeing the sinking ship.
Katrina strikes again....
I hear that Blanco is picking up the tab for a round of Kool-Aid.
I was thinking it's a Rat plan for dilution.

They must have seen how Haley Barbour handled things in Mississippi.
My cynical view of this is that these rats, and likely a few more have seen that a large portion of the Rat voting base has been relocated and will not be returning soon, thus giving the GOP a strong chance at picking up the majorities. And the Rats in LA being about the most corrupt in the nation, their desire to remain in the majority, regardless of the letter after their name is what is driving their party changing.
Is there a RINO shortage down there? Very few make the transition completely as in Ronald Reagan.
Where's that RINO pic?
As a Republican in Louisiana, I cannot wait to vote Mary Landrieu's arse out of the Senate next year. Same with Blanco as governor. It was the Demonrats' voting bloc in New Orleans (now scattered, thankfully) that got them in office to begin with.
They are all now RINOS.
Isn't Mary Landrieu's Senate term up in 2008?
You and me both. I have been working on the family members to get them to see the light. Many people here register democrat in order to vote in the primaries. Their personal values and beliefs though are conservative.
I am a personal friend of Dan "Blade" Morrish. He is not a RINO. He personally campaigned for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. Lousiana is a strange state. In south Louisiana in some counties you can't get elected unless you run as a Democrat. In the last 10 years the tide has been changing. Some of these politicians (who are ideologically VERY conservative) will now be able to run in the party that their beliefs agree with.
I was scanning this thread to see if anybody in the state would comment on this. I was hoping that given that the inner city denizens were scattered to the wind, Louisiana's liberal shrew in the senate would be at a disadvantage. Is the thinking in the state along the lines that this will indeed be the case? Is there a viable candidate to oppose her?
But but but Mr. Ratmedia you've been telling us that the Republican Party is just about over. How can this be?
How indeed! These guys KNOW what's coming down there. They KNOW that "Bush dropped the ball on Katrina" is only ratmedia wishful thinking. They the investigation will nail Empty Noggin Blanco mind and the rest of Louisiana's rats.
You prefer Republicans by Birth like Lincoln Chafee?
Instead of being all ignorant about it, why not wait and find out whether these men have conservative records? They're all sitting legislators, it's no mystery. One of them has already been vouched for as conservative by a FReeper on this thread.
Some of us here are conservatives first, Republicans second, politically.
