There's no Jeffords like disloyalty here.
Jeffords was elected as a Republican and then ignored those votes when he jumped to the Democrats.
If someone like Moore were to officially leave the Republican Party, officially join another party, and then run as a candidate from that party, then his votes would all come from those who vote for his new party.
Incidentally, that is what Ronald Reagan did. He switched parties and ran under the banner of his new party.
It's what Teddy Roosevelt did....Pat Buchanen...for that matter, George Washington.
To be blocked from pursuing your dream and to then seek alternative ways of achieving it is forged into very spirit of America. That was the point of the Revolution.

Switching a party because the party in not in line with your beliefs is one thing
Switching a party just because they won't bend to your threats is another
Again .. you are NOT helping Judge Moore at all

Winston Churchill changed parties twice. I don't think anybody holds that against him any longer.
