You might think that the news of an African-American former Congressman switching his publicly declared party loyalty from Democrat to Republican would a national story.
Well, it isn't at the Associated Press, as a search returning no results at the wire service's national site on the full name of former Alabama Congressman Artur Davis (not in quotes) done at about 9 p.m. indicates. Additionally, the link to news about Davis's party switch is currently perched in the "Post Local" section at the Washington Post's web site. If this makes TV anywhere but Fox News, I'll be surprised, even though by any rational definition of "news," this is an objectively big deal. Davis is a former four-term Congressman, was a Barack Obama campaign co-chair in 2008, and was a former member of the Congressional Black Caucus. The last time an African-American congressman or former congressman changed his party from Democrat to Republican was ... well, maybe someone else can come up with a previous example, but I can't.

Question is is it actually believable ? Do communists ever give up the so called equality shtick ?
typical
democrats are punking the country and know they will lose in November... so the rats change their stripes looking for cover
they should NOT be allowed to call themselves republicans
And so it begins all over again, Democrats invading the Republican party to continue to destroy from within, the faster the Tea Party gets some Conservatives elected the faster the Democrats will invade. Once a Democrat always a RAT, I don’t trust any of them.
That’s what I was wondering, too.
Are there REALLY any ‘blue dogs’ left? -or- Is it a strategy by the Democraps to FURTHER infiltrate the Repugs because of the Tea Party backlash and elections? IOW....to keep the RNC more liberal?
Hmmmm.
Isn’t this the man who has been very vocal about how deeply the Democrat party is into voter fraud?
We can only hope he isn’t going to just be a democrat with an “R” behind his name. Time will tell, he will be accountable.
More likely a strategy of survival on the part of Cong. Davis.
He was the only Democrat Congressman to vote against Obamacare...
Er...Ronald Reagan was once a Democrat.
I predict for every Tea Party conservative that is elected there will another cross over Democrat.
He’s still probably to the Right of Romney.
Pray for America
Wake up!
This schmuck is just pulling a Ben Campbell on us to keep a real Republican from getting elected.
.
You realize that, at one time, virtually every Republican in Oklahoma today was a Democrat.
Out of every 100 people who stand and say they are a Republican today (not an independent)....I’d make a humble guess that twenty-five of the folks would confess that they were likely democrats in their youth. What changed? Typically, they finished college....got real jobs....eventually figured out that the big world wasn’t like the professor said, and by age forty....were confirmed Republicans. How many Republicans convert by age forty to Democrats? Maybe five out of a hundred, my humble guess.
The “joke” I heard is What is the quickest way to turn a democrat into a republican? Let them own a business.
Yeah, George McGovern had some really interesting comments about that.
Question is is it actually believable ? Do communists ever give up the so called equality shtick ?
They do when they are about to be crushed in the elections and then the clean up to begin with the purging of communist activities (including Ayres, Obama, Jones, etc) begins.
