Mayor Emmanuel Onunwor of East Cleveland, the country's first African-born mayor, recently switched his party affiliation from the Democratic to the Republican side, explaining that by doing so he would be better able to help repair his blighted city.

Sorry, guys, he's ours.

Well, unlike the Democrats, we shouldn't be coddling criminals in the ranks.

He's been under investigation for some time. When did he switch parties?

It appears to me, this guy switched parties just to inoculate himself from being arrested for corruption.

He's still a RAT at heart.
