Rep. Parker Griffith (R-AL), who announced yesterday that he was switching parties, said today that he left the Democratic party because he was no longer welcome there.

"I felt the far left tilt of the Democratic party no longer welcomed me or my ideas," Griffith said today on Fox News.

Griffith announced the switch yesterday, saying he felt the GOP better represents his values.

  • Screw you, you back stabber!

  • Obama's/ Dems plan is NOT a plan "FOR THE PEOPLE" it is for Big Govt controls, insane wasting of Taxpayer dollars (NOT Govt owned Dollars) ----it takes Choice away from the the faithful citizens/ and gives all power and control to the people that DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE! ( CareerPoliticians and /Libs Can't fix anything-they don't even know where to begin, Revenue comes from a healthy economy-Can't get an Economy healthy without JOBS!!!!!-Nothing is Free including Healthcare

  • This man is correct that healthcare reform is bad for doctors. It is bad for greedy doctors that perform unnecessary procedures that raise healthcare costs. It is bad for the economy of yacht sellers and diamond merchants that pander to the extreme rich. It is bad for private bankers to the wealthy and it is bad for luxury road boat sellers. What it is GOOD for is the American people who have been victims of health insurance companies whose FIRST reaction to sickness is denial of claims.

  • Where does this leave the final Healthcare Vote?

  • Agreed, the Republicans haven't impressed anyone in the last few years, but when stacked up next to the catastrophic policies of the Democrats, the GOP looks pretty good.

    Now is indeed a crossroads. I hope the GOP gets it's act together and puts forth a united front of fiscal responsibility, common sense, and putting American security and prosperity above all else.

  • I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a few others make the jump to the Republican party rather than being forced by the Democrat leadership to vote for a bill that goes against there set of beliefs, and makes there stomach turn. Not that I think the republican leadership is is all that hot either, but it is at least for now in opposition to most of these big government take over bills. I don't know the answers, but I know this isn't it. More time, for public input is needed at the very least.
