Video: Democratic Rep Switches to GOP!
Dittos Rush! ^ | 12-22-09 | James

Posted on 12/22/2009 12:40:00 PM PST by iloveamerica1980

Here's an early Christmas present folks: "I have become increasingly concerned that the bills and policies pushed by the current Democratic leadership are not good for north Alabama or our nation and, more importantly, they do not represent my values and convictions." Fox News video I pray that this is just the beginning!

Really great news! I’ve been waiting to see this hit FR!

Now we need to grab Teddie’s old Senate seat.

Just hope he doesn’t turn out to be another RINO!

Good.

Let him switch parties.

Then vote his a$$ out of office next election because he was stupid enough to run as a democrat to begin with.

He will be a RINO period. He was already a democrat.

He said that he ran as an Independent Conservative. Apparently that falls under the Dem category. In my state, anyone who runs on the Conservative ticket also appears on the Republican ticket.

Further proof of a need for a “real” second party.

What it smells like is a first term former oncologist that went to DC and got an eyeful.

Did he run as a conservative?

If no, then he has to go.

I’m sorry but I’m just too suspicious. I’m sure there are going to be a lot of ‘defections’ to the GOP now. We’ll see.

I don’t know this man, I wish him well and all defections might turn out to be a good thing.

However, I can’t help but think of this as comparable to a hooker in a white wedding gown...... pretending to be a virgin, all over again.

If he truly had worthy values and convictions, he would have never been a dem in the first place. I hope he proves me wrong.

Maybe and maybe not. Rep. Rodney Alexander initially ran and was elected as a Democrat. After one term of being badgered by the Dems about his conservative beliefs, he switched parties and ran for reelection as a Republican and won handily. He has served our district well and is a staunch conservative Republican. I trust that this man will do likewise. If not, throw him out on his ear at the earliest opportunity.

Sounds like a sellout to me.

He sees the writing on the wall and wants to get out while he still can.

He has sold out his party. He deserves no loyalty from republicans or conservatives.

He made his bed. Let him lie in it.

Exactly. He was Democrat so he needs to go. We’re way past the point of playing games with these people. There is simply too much at stake.
