Dem. Congressman switches to GOP, Will liberal media notice?
After Senator Arlen Specter switched parties to become a democrat the lap dog media heralded this event as the beginning of the end for the GOP. What will they say now that Obama is alienating members of his party with his radical bills?
Rep. Parker Griffith has abandoned the Dem’s sinking ship
JOSH KRAUSHAAR writes, Politico has learned that Rep. Parker Griffith, a freshman Democrat from Alabama, will announce today that he’s switching parties to become a Republican.
According to two senior GOP aides familiar with the decision, the announcement will take place this afternoon in Griffith’s district in northern Alabama.
Griffith’s party switch comes on the eve of a pivotal congressional health care vote and will send a jolt through a Democratic House Caucus that has already been unnerved by the recent retirements of a
handful of members who, like Griffith, hail from districts that offer prime pickup opportunities for the GOP in 2010.
The switch represents a coup for the House Republican leadership, which had been courting Griffith since he publicly criticized the Democratic leadership in the wake of raucous town halls during the summer.

Someone who is not 'for sale' – his character and values mean more than being re-elected or bringing home pork for his state! THANK YOU REPRESENTATIVE GRIFFITH!! You have helped me more than you will ever know.
America MUST return to the principles our founding fathers worked so hard to leave for future generations as the means for a republic form of government to succeed. It appears that our current administration seems determined to break every rule that has seen us through thick and thin since 1776 and it is time to say NO MORE!!!
