Parker “Windsock” Griffith
Parker “Weathervane” Griffith
At least one of them has a brain
They represented his values last year.
These people must not be welcomed-in with open arms!!
At best they will be Rinos.
WARNING!!!
and you had to get elected to congress to figure that out?
Sorry, dimwits have taught me to not believe a thing they say.
He stated that he ran as an independent conservative.
The only way they should be welcomed is if they name their next child or grandchild,
George or Georgia Bush ___________________!!
I wonder what his values were before he cashed in on the anti Bush sentiment sweeping the country and before the Obama backlash began.
You may be right, but in his defense, we have never been able to get a republican elected in this district(Griffith’s district). It’s been very frustrating. He could not have been elected had he ran on the republican ticket.
The democrat party begins to crumble—can’t happen too soon.
Democrats know whats going to happen next year. Expect to see alot of this, so’s to infiltrate Republican ranks, and thus Dems ACTUALLY hold on to both houses.
He might not be as bad as he could be. I heard Rush talking about him today and that his district where he is is a pretty conservative area of Alabama, one that has turned more conservative the last few years. I think Rush said it had turned more conservative since Obama was elected.
At least he appears smart enough to not want to fall on the sword for Obamacare/Reidcare/Pelosicare.
Either that or he really doesn’t care if he loses next time, and wants to be the “one republican” who votes for it so the Dems can say it was “bipartisan”.
I wonder if a couple of others might defect, like the “moderate” from MS or those guys in GA who are in GOP leaning districts.
It was said elsewhere that if all the Pubbies left there could be no vote as at least one of the opposition party had to be present. Maybe this is a scam to have one there hence allowing the vote?
Oops, this guy is not in the Senate. We need one to switch there and be serious about it. Doubtful that will happen, though. Pray for our country!
Good. 40 some to go. Get the US House and we can investigate Hussein all day long.
Let’s remember our primary task here. No matter how bad the Republicans have been, no matter how squishy moderates have misbehaved, everything bad that is happening right now is the fault of the DIMS. We’ve called faxed and shouted at DIM senators, congressmen and what do they do for us- NOTHING! And they NEVER will! Even the 2 squishy Maniacs voted against the socialists, but not one DIM.
The Roman Senator Cato used to end every speech in the senate whether it be about building a road or temple or staging a gladiatorial fight by proclaiming that “CARTHAGE MUST BE DESTROYED”
We must have this single-mindedness. The DIMS MUST BE DESTROYED! The only good DIM is a defeated DIM! No whining, no third parties, no lamentations that Republicans and DIMS are just the same. This is serious. We must do this by any and all means necessary.
Oh goodie. Another Democrat in the GOP.
