15 THIS YEAR, 5 MORE YESTERDAY DESERT PARTY WHICH HAS DESERTED AMERICA
by John Charlton
(Dec. 2, 2009) — The Democratic National Party has a problem with its name and with its loyalty, and as a consequence members of the party are deserting it, in Texas at least.
The GOP of Texas announced yesterday that 5 more officials in Upshurt Country switched from Democrat to Republican party affiliation.
Their press release read as follows:
We’re pleased to annouce that several more Democratic officeholders have decided to switch parties and become Republicans. Five elected Democrats in Upshur County – County Judge Dean Fowler, Sheriff Anthony Betterton, District Clerk Carolyn Bullock Parrot, Constable Jason Weeks, and Justice of the Peace Lyle Potter – all announced today that they are now Republicans and will seek re-election as such. They gave various reasons for their decisions to switch, but it all boils down to one simple fact: The Democratic Party has become too liberal and too statist for Texas voters. The Democratic Party’s values are out of the Texas mainstream. The Democratic Party is too beholden to special interests, from MoveOn’s far left agenda to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Washington Democrats’ drive to have the federal government take over more and more of what was once the private sector, while they drive up the national debt to unsustainable levels and continue to raise our taxes.
Scores of Democrats across Texas like the five who have switched parties today are not so much leaving their party. Their party, its leadership in Washington and its leadership here in Texas, has left them. We’re pleased to continue growing the Texas GOP by attracting those who share our conservative values of limited government, strong national defense and robust economic growth via the free market to join us.
Eric Dondero of Libertarian Republican Blog reported at 4:50 PM yesterday, that 15 others officials in the state have already made the same switch.
Sounds like RINOS to me. The Dems & Rinos should be VERY afraid. We’re booting you all in 2010.
This only adds more RINOs to the party that we are trying to get rid of… NO MORE RINOS WANTED!
This means nothing-it is only a letter behind a name. Their values are still Democratic; perhaps not as liberal as those who are stealing the Country, but Democratic, just the same. If you vote for them in the next election only because they have an (R) behind their name, they will win again. PAY ATTENTION to the races, KNOW your politicians before you enter the booth, or DON’T VOTE AT ALL. One mistaken vote COULD make the wrong difference.
Welcome! I don’t recognize this group in WDC as anything I have ever seen before!
Just so they are just going to be Rinos
