GILMER — The Upshur County Republican Party has five additional elected officials. Five Democrats announced on the courthouse steps Tuesday morning that they are changing parties. MORE COVERAGE RELATED STORY: Upshur County District Judge announces re-election bid Sheriff Anthony Betterton, County Judge Dean Fowler, District Clerk Carolyn Bullock Parrott, Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Lyle Potter and Precinct 2 Constable Jason Weeks said that when election filing starts in a few days, they'll be registering to run as Republicans. Upshur County remained an East Texas Democratic stronghold until the November 2008 election. The county is about 75 percent Republican, based on the results of the 2008 presidential election in which Sen. John McCain received 11,222 votes to Barack Obama's 3,790 votes. A record 3,821 straight-ticket Republican votes were cast in the election.

This is from the Longview paper.

GEEEEZZZZZ!!! That tells me these people are changing parties because the Democrats have screwed up so badly they don’t have a chance of election, or reelection in that heavily R district.

It also tells me my first post was probably correct in that they are Dems at heart, thus will be RINO’s as Republican Party members.

McCain being a RINO makes it difficult due the muddied waters to determine much more from this article.

Dem=Left. RINO=Left.

Thanks for your post.

a local Dem office in my town has closed and one of it’s top leaders left the party after going mad at the others about how far left they have become and how they have to stop blaming Bush now.

LOL
The woman is the mother of my oldest friend and she said she had enough of them LOL
She expected big things with no partisanship and no excuses but instead she told them that she will never work for them again
