All 4 of the locally elected Politicians that ran and won as Democrats have switched to GOP for this Election cycle.

You live in a Southern State, correct? Most southern democrats, are more conservative then northern republicans. Hell there are still some old school democrats that cling to old school liberal values, ie: they are some of the most conservative people out there, but remain a democrat out of family tradition. They only switch when being a democrat becomes an issue. There are ALOT of extremely conservative people that are elected as democrats in the south. This is not a new trend.

Hell the Texas Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals were all conservative, even before republicans held every seat.

Hey Dave, you got a link or pics? :p

But of course. I was sure you guys didn't need the links by now. I tell it like it is unlike NeoCons.

Link with offending Politician Mugshot:

4-23-2004 Carl Rogers says he will join GOP

The move would mean that it would be the first time in history that all members of Hall's state House delegation would be of one party.

Area Republicans praised news reports that State Rep. Carl Rogers of Gainesville plans to make a switch to the Republican Party next week. Local Democrats, however, voiced disappointment about the move.

"We're encouraging more conservative Democrats like him to make such a move in order to get the governor's agenda through the House," said Joe Cwik, chairman of the Hall County Republican Party.

Local Democrats hope to stem the flow of party switchers.

"Poor Carl Rogers, is what I have to say about his move to change parties," said Gainesville attorney Joseph D. Cooley III.

"Now Carl Rogers is going to be anti-gay and anti-affirmative action and is going to have to pass all of his views past the Christian Coalition," said Cooley, a Hall Democrat.
