The Mississippi Republican Party is welcoming some new members and all of them were elected public offices as Democrats or Independents in this most recent election cycle.

The Mississippi Republican Party Chairman says he doesn’t expect this will be the last time they are welcoming new members to the GOP.

“We have had a relentless focus on switching conservative Democrats over to the Republican party," explained MSGOP Chairman Lucien Smith. "They recognize increasingly that there is only one party that represents the conservative values of our state and that is the Republican party.”

All eight of the latest party switchers were from Smith and Covington Counties and one District Attorney whose district covers those areas. But the conservation didn’t take long to expand to the national party ties.

“We are in a scenario in this country where you can choose to be a member of the party led by Donald J. Trump or you can choose to be a member of the socialist Democratic party led by Bernie Sanders,” noted Governor Tate Reeves.

“Same thing happened here in California, just remember AHHNOLD ran as a Republican, legislated like a GREENIE DEMONRAT.”

But Arnold wasn’t a stealth Democrat, he was THE candidate backed by the National and California GOP establishment.

Grassroots conservatives who had just recalled Gray Davis were backing Tom McClintock. But the GOPe wanted a socially liberal puppet and they put all of their money and effort behind Arnold. RINO mouthpiece Hugh Hewitt was pushing Arnold every day on his radio show, telling people McClintock couldn’t win.

And Arnold isn’t even the worst candidate for governor the GOP establishment has pushed on California voters. Go look at Neel Kashkari, the Hindu Obama. Kashkari even voted for Obama and and backs most of the social legislation pushed by progressives.

My question, too. Do they keep their present jobs? We have a whole administrative group who are flip floppers.
