Any Congressman who voted for Cap&Trade MUST go. Either Party. No Exceptions.
They are either a Traitor or Simply Too Stupid to Hold Public Office. PERIOD.....
The Rasmussen Poll this morning showed Obozo at -19% After yesterdays previous record of -16%
Those are very good signs.
ClimateGate and events in Copenhagen have had an impact.
We need an Obozo RecordsGate to cement this. It is out there if we can uncover it.
Parker Griffith knew he would not win as a Democrat this next election. He switched to “become” a Republican. It was his best chance to win. He’s a liar and a fraud. Kicked out of our local hospital because of his unethical practices with cancer patients. So, he becomes a politician. First stop Montgomery to get cozy with the den of thieves there as a state senator. He was an unapologetic liberal.
AL district 5 has 2 wonderful choices for the job, Mo Brooks and Les Phillip. Now we got a 3 man race with all Griffith’s old buddies from Montgomery stumping for him and sending their money into his campaign. Today he has Boehner stumping for him here in Huntsville and then Hannity has him on TV tonight telling people what he wants them to hear not the truth, more to come. Sickening to see this happening. Mo &/or Les could use more support to go up against the good ol boys machine here in AL who are getting help now from the Republicans Griffith opposes. The only reason he was voting with the Repubs was because he was getting nonstop pressure from his constituents letting him know we were watching every vote. His first vote in Congress was to vote for Nancy Pelosi as majority leader. Afterall, she sent some funds his way while he was running for office. Spread the news, he didn’t have a “come to Jesus moment” as some conservatives think. He is a snake with a whole bunch venom.

Parker Griffith can not be trusted.
1) GRIFFITH LIED ABOUT COMMISSIONING A POLL
“Griffith said Wednesday that his office hadn’t sponsored a poll to gauge his electability as a Democrat, nor did he commission anyone else. That contradicts a report in Congressional Quarterly that said Griffith’s office confirmed Wednesday that he did commission a poll, though “he declined to release the specific polling questions or the results of the survey.” Huntsville Times, December 24, 2009.
2) GRIFFITH MISREPRESENTED COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT FACTS TO THE MEDIA
“After a news conference where he announced his party switch, Griffith said it wasn’t a given that he’ll lose his committee assignments. He said to take that away from him could make Democrats look “small and punitive,” and he doesn’t believe the party will want to appear petty.” Huntsville Times, December 23, 2009.
Griffith loses his committee seats on Science and Technology, Small Business & Transportation and Infrastructure. Huntsville Times, December 23, 2009.
“Griffith’s staff at the start of January had told The Times he anticipated new assignments by Jan. 12.
Griffith told The Times that North Alabama would be pleased when he finally does receive those seats.” Huntsville Times, January 31, 2010.
“In a letter dated Dec. 20 to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or two days before his announcement, Griffith officially resigned his (committee) seats by rule.” Huntsville Times, January 31, 2010.
3) GRIFFITH BROKE HIS PROMISES TO REFUND CONTRIBUTIONS BY DEMOCRATS.
Story #1; Day 1: GRIFFITH PROMISED TO RETURN ALL CONTRIBUTIONS TO ALL WHO REQUEST THEM. “The congressman, who held a news conference in his Twickenham home, said he’ll give back any of those contributions if people ask him to. He said they’d have to fill out a request form, and he’d return it. Griffith has more than $600,000 left in his war chest.” Huntsville Times, December 23, 2009.
Story #2; Day 2: GRIFFITH EXCLUDES DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE FROM HIS REFUND OFFER. The next day, on December 23, 2009, Griffith “excluded money spent on his behalf by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.” Huntsville Times, January 14, 2010.
Story#3; Day 22. GRIFFITH DENIES REFUNDS TO ALL 2008 CONTRIBUTORS. ”U.S. Rep Parker Griffith neglected to mention the fine print attached to his seemingly broad offer to refund campaign contributions. Griffith . . . initially said he’s return the campaign cash of disappointed supporters. On Tuesday, Griffith referred questions about his return policy to a staff member. She then referred questions back to Griffith. On Wednesday, Griffith told the Times: ‘There is no cutoff date.’ But this week many supporters who asked for their money back were surprised to be turned away with a form e-mail, which says that the money given in 2008 (will not be refunded).” Huntsville Times, January 14, 2010.
REMEMBER HE SAYS THAT HIS VIEWS ARE STILL THE SAME :
Parker Griffith states, “I have not changed a bit” since his 2008 campaign and election. (Huntsville Times; January 14, 2010).
1) Griffith pledged in writing to support raising income and inheritance taxes by repealing the Bush tax cuts. Huntsville Times; January 12, 2010
2) Griffith pledged in writing to deny employees the right to a secret ballot in votes on whether to unionize (i.e. – pledged support for “Card Check”). Huntsville Times; January 12, 2010.
3) Griffith pledged in writing to impose a deadline date for leaving Iraq, regardless of whether the job was done or victory was obtained. Huntsville Times; January 12, 2010.
4) Griffith actively campaigned for government run health care (then known as “Universal Health Care”) in his 2006 campaign for Alabama Senate and 2008 campaign for Congress. Huntsville Times, May 31, 2006 & August 25, 2009; Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee News Release, January 21, 2010.
After pushing Universal Health Care, he claims to be leaving the Democratic side because of the Health Care Bill on the table right now. What??? Not everyone will be covered by the current bill; therefore, his old position was actually more liberal than the one the Democrats are taking today. Griffith claimed to have switched because the Democratic Party moved away from him. The facts clearly show that Parker Griffith’s switch was done for political, not ideological reasons. Because Parker Griffith switched parties out of self preservation, AL05 does not have a congressman in the committee that decides the fate of NASA (he was in said committee before switching parties). When Parker Griffith had to pick between his district and himself, he chose Parker Griffith. When it comes right down to it, Parker Griffith just can not be trusted.
