Well – It seems that turn about is fair game these days …. And instead of a line jumper going from Republican to Democrat, we have a House member who is going from Democrat to Republican … but from what he said in his interview this morning on Fox News, I have to wonder why he was Democrat to begin with.
Rep. Parker Griffith from Alabama has switched sides and list the following as his reasons for doing so:
- Didn't like the way Congressional Leadership was working
- Didn't like the way the Executive Branch was working (that would be the White House)
- Nation was losing 100-1000's of jobs a month
- Cap & Trade (he called it a 'rabbit trail")
- Health Care took precedence over job creation
- Stimulus wasn't working, so they were going to make another stimulus
- Moneys paid back to the government wasn't going to pay down debt, it was going to another stimulus package
- Independent, Conservative Business man
- Pro-life
- Pro-Second Amendment (right to bare arms)
- Party was taking a tilt too far laft
Now it has to be said that while his district tends to send Democrats to congress, they voted both times for GW Bush overwhelmingly …
NOTE: USA is only 5% of the world's population … interesting ….
