UPDATED: Right after Parker Griffith switched parties, according to Race42012, Erick Erickson has called for someone to run against him and defeat him. Would someone please tell The Pink Flamingo what the you know what is going on here? Someone needs to explain the facts of life to idiots like Erickson! If you want to know what is wrong with conservatives, just read this.
“…No less than a few minutes had passed after word got out that Democrat Rep. Parker Griffith would be switching to the GOP before Erick Erickson of RedState.com had called on him to be defeated in a primary. This is quite simply the stupidest reaction anyone could ever have to this news. Griffith represents a district that has been held by the Democrats for 140 years. So rather than embrace the fact that Griffith is more than we should normally hope for in this particular district, Erickson has decided to target him, a move that will easily hand the seat right back to Nancy Pelosi. I can’t stress this enough: this is a district that hasn’t had a GOP representative since 1869! Rather than embrace other Blue Dogs and try to use this moment to drive a permanent wedge in the Democrat caucus, Erick would prefer to widen the wedge in our own party. Democrats like Griffith were once a strong part of the Reagan Coalition, and rather than try to build a similar coalition for the future, the confused Mr. Erickson would rather continue burning the village to the ground….”
ORIGINAL POST: Freshman Alabama Democrat Congressman Parker Griffith is coming home to the GOP today! The residents of the 5th District of Alabama will now have a Republican in office!
The man has courage. We can only wonder how badly Nancy Pelosi is going to be treating him. It is a wonder his web site is still up and running.
The Pink Flamingo keeps telling you, it could be a lot of fun a year from now!
