Given that this guy is an MD and Huntsville has more than its share of bona fide rocket scientists...I'd say it's clear where the intelligent votes are headed.

If I was a congressman who was pissed off at my party I'd become an independent rather than switch to the other side....even though this guy was a conservative democrat it's hypocritical to change core beliefs in mid stream. But still, good for him and I hope more follow.

I see your point. It's a concern that it isn't about core beliefs.
In the end, we've got a monster where you need party affiliation to have the dollars to get elected. I don't like that part of things.

He just happens to be left of most in Alabama so he thought he was a Democrat. Apparently, he isn't a Republican either because they appear to be throwing him under the bus and calling him a RINO. So yeah, he should have gone independent. Of course, it won't matter, his political careeer is over either way.(12-22-2009 02:54 PM)DrTorch Wrote: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_congress_party_switch
