Maybe he switched so he can vote for Healthcare and they’ll be able to call it bipartisan.
If he dishes the dirt on Nanzi and Rahm, why not?
The republicans should look at their voting records before allowing them to switch.
Although it is true that in the South, at the local level, the democratic party is often the only game in town. So some of the democrats are a lot more conservative than the democrat party leadership. Ex. Zell Miller.
...He was one of only 11 House Democrats to vote against the stimulus.“Look at his voting record – he’s had substantial differences philosophically with the Democratic agenda here in Congress,” said an Alabama ally who is familiar with Griffith’s decision. “It’s something that’s been discussed for the last several months… talking to people in his family. And it genuinely is a reflection of where he feels. It’s his own personal conviction.”
And the Donks are minus 1. That is a good thing. I’d like to see about 15 more switch.
I'm glad to hear that Parker Griffin Is doing that. I know Parker as I had him over to our Hospital in Hartselle as the speaker at one of our meetings when I was Chairman of the Board. I have never known how he really stood in this health care bill but I know that nearly every one around here is against it. Parker had a tea party meeting on the phone about two weeks ago and (our daughter) was on the phone with him. She tied him up on the phone for about 20 minutes and she never got a really yes or no on that bill, but he called her back a few days later and told her how he felt. I'm glad to see him change parties, and I hope a lot more of those democrats will do that too.So much for how Parker Griffin's constiuents and colleagues feel back home.
