"Most Texans thought it was a pretty good thing and pretty courageous when
Phil Gramm switched parties and when Rick Perry switched parties," he said.

That just goes to show how out of touch with Texans you are, Ron!
Most Texans were NOT happy with Jumpin' Jeffords switch!

"Most Texans thought it was a pretty good thing and pretty courageous when Phil Gramm switched parties and when Rick Perry switched parties," he said.

I know Gramm faced re-election when he switched, didn't Perry do the same? I know Jeffords waited till he had 6 yrs unchallenged until his "moral courage" became apparent.

Banana creme pies are like cops. You can never find one when you really need one.....

Great way to strengthen the GOP effort in Texas - thanks Kirk for the help - I think Jeffords helps the GOP in Texas more than the democrats.

Jeffords appearance at Kirk fund-raiser angers GOP

Message to GOP....don't get angry when you can get even.

"He is here helping to raise money for Mr. Kirk, who is supposed to be supporting G.W. Bush but cannot possibly be supporting G.W. Bush when he is out here getting money from jumping Jim Jeffords," said Cheryl Daringer, who was among a dozen protesters outside the private home where Mr. Kirk's fund-raiser was held.

What delusion is this chick under, that a DEMOCRATIC nominee is supposed to be supporting a Republican? And what is with this outrage? It comes as a surprise that a man who leaves a party might attend fund-raisers for those who are running against his former allies?

You are so right..............now let's just PRAY his constituents are of the same mind............I wonder what Jeffords 'payment' was for appearing at the Kirk fund-raising event!! He can probably name his own price!! What a slimeball!!

[LoneGOPinCT]

Meek, am I missing something? I don't understand the surprise in Jumpin' Jim's support of a democRAT, which he is afterall. It's not like a real Republican is supporting the clown. It's Jeffords.

Both Gramm and PErry when they switched parties did so and then ran for election as republicans. They did not switch parties while elected official and stayed on as a different party member.

Jeffords, by the way, odd that he would profess to be an independent yet went to the democrat Ron Kirk to support in Texas. He is "pie in your face, Mr. President". I live in Houston and had I known about this I would have been there protesting.

Hummm... kinda makes that INDEPENDENT label seem all for naught.
