Democrat Congressman switching parties

That clown represents me. He will be voted out of office in 2010. He's trying to do anything he can to bamboozle the folks of North Alabama to get re-elected. Anyone looking at his voting record will see that he does everything he can to support Nancy Pelosi legislation all the way until the final vote, where he generally votes no to try not to anger his constituents.

Don't worry about him being re-elected the only reason he got elected in the first place is because the GOP ran a guy who may have actually been mentally retarded. He won't make it out of the Primary.

In a nutshell, yes. It's not a victory for the Republicans to get this guy. Like anyone who switches parties in the middle of a term, he's a huge liability. He voted for Pelosi for Speaker so his credibility as a Conservative is lacking. As long as he is in office he'll just be another RINO.

When I read the story that is how I felt but I know nothing about this guy. Do you all have a strong conservative running in 2010?

Yeah we have 2 guys that are pretty solid. One, Mo Brooks, is a county commissioner that has eliminated virtually all waste in his office. He has an excellent track record of preaching and practicing Conservatism. Another is a guy by the name of Les Phillip who talks a good game, but isn't as visible and doesn't have as long of a track record that Brooks has. Both would be a world of improvement over Parker.

Eventhough none of these people would represent your district if you really want some background on the two guys you can find it here on each of their propaganda sites:

Mo Brooks
Les Phillip

Other problems for democrats:

Democrats running for re-election:

Illinois: Pat Quinn (D) loses to Jim Ryan (R) by 5 (Rasmussen)

New York: David Patterson (D) loses to Rick Lazio (R) by 3 (Rasmussen).

Andrew Cuomo (D) would win, but he is reluctant to run.

Ohio: Ted Strickland (D) loses to John Kasich (R) by 9 (Rasmussen)

Maryland: Martin O'Malley (D) defeats Bob Erlich (R) by 11, or Michael Steele by 15 (Gonzalez)

Massachusetts: Deval Patrick (D) deeply unpopular, but Tim Cahill (I) could ruin Charlie Baker's (R) bid.

Biggest potential pick-ups:

California: Meg Whitman (R) has pulled into a tie against Former Gov. Jerry Brown (D) to replace Arnold Schwartzenegger (R) (Rasmussen)


Colorado: Bill Ritter (D) loses to Scott McInnis (R) by 7 (Rasmussen)

Iowa: Chet Culver (D) loses to Terry Branstad by 20-25 points (Rasmussen, local)

New Hampshire: John Lynch (D) defeats John Sununu (R) by 5-13 (Rasmussen, local)

Democrats' open seats:

Pennsylvania: Tom Corbett (R) easily defeats all Democratic candidates (Rasmussen, Quinnipiac)

Michigan: All Republicans defeat John Cherry (D) by huge margins (Rasmussen, EPIC)

Tennessee: No poll tests, but Republicans in good position to gain.

Wisconsin: Tom Barret (D) tied or insignificantly leading major opponents (PPP)

Oklahoma: Mary Falin (R) easily defeats Jari Askins (D) or Drew Edmonsdon (PPP)

Oregon: Former Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) so far lacks major opponent. (NBA star Chris Dudley is untested.)

Kansas: Sam Brownback (R) is heavily favored, regardless of opponent.

New Mexico: Diane Denish (D) starts out strongly.

Maine: Candidates unknown.

Already Lost:
Virginia: Bob McDonnell (R) replaces Tim Kaine (D), defeating Creigh Deeds in historic, 18-point landslide.

New Jersey: Chris Christie (R) ousts John Corzine (D) by 5, despite votes pulled by Chris Dagget (6%)

(I'll be glad to see Corzine go)

Some Democrats can see the hand writing on the wall and want to launch another campaign of deception.


Keep the Big Tent big.

(as in three ring circus, they sure have the clowns for it, their high wire act is death defying, awe inspiring dog and pony show and they even have some trained elephants.)

Published in the Washington Post, aka Pravda on the Potomac, article by brother of Chicago's Dimocrap mayor, was Clinton's Secretary of Commerce and chairman of Al Gore's presidential campaign.

Rep. Griffith's decision makes him the fifth centrist Democrat to either switch parties or announce plans to retire rather than stand for reelection in 2010.
.............................

The political dangers of this situation could not be clearer.
.................................................

In those gubernatorial contests, the margin of victory was provided to Republicans by independents -- many of whom had voted for Obama. Just one year later, they had crossed back to the Republicans by 2-to-1 margins.
....................................

Witness the drumbeat of ominous poll results. Obama's approval rating has fallen below 49 percent overall and is even lower -- 41 percent -- among independents. On the question of which party is best suited to manage the economy, there has been a 30-point swing toward Republicans since November 2008, according to Ipsos. Gallup's generic congressional ballot shows Republicans leading Democrats. There is not a hint of silver lining in these numbers. They are the quantitative expression of the swing bloc of American politics slipping away.
..................................

All that is required for the Democratic Party to recover its political footing is to acknowledge that the agenda of the party's most liberal supporters has not won the support of a majority of Americans -- and, based on that recognition, to steer a more moderate course on the key issues of the day, from health care to the economy to the environment to Afghanistan.

I'd say it would be eternally too late to put that scam over again but then you can fool some of the people all the time. :no:

Rob Simmons has a great shot at running Chris Dodd out here in CT, but with Linda McMahon throwing money all over for the GOP nomination, she is handing it to Dodd. In this day and age where every last skeleton is dragged from the closet, a candidate with ties to Pro Wrestling isnt getting far. But she's rich enough for TV and mass mailings, even in these initial stages.

Reid has six republicans running to oppose him, in head to head polls at lest two of them lead Reid by 5 points or more.

While campaigning for Dodd, Biden publicly stated; Chris Dodd is getting the crap beat out of him."

Actually, I do think he will be re-elected (I'm from Florence, a traditional Yellow Dog Democrat area) and his positions of anti-abortion and anti-Obamacare resonates well here. I think he will become another Richard Shelby.......Repubicans will vote for him because he is a Republican and the Dems will vote fore him because they have voted for him before.
