A man most foul when it comes to politics he is.........
His staff quits........
"Nearly every staff member of Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Parker Griffith's office quit Monday morning in response to his decision to switch parties. His chief of staff resigned, along with his entire legislative and communications team -- many of whom have worked for Griffith since before he arrived in Washington.
"Alabama's Fifth District has deserved and has benefited from great Democratic conservative leadership since Reconstruction. And until now they had it," Chief of Staff Sharon Wheeler said. "I appreciate Congressman Griffith's being a very dedicated congressman. But we believe he made a mistake -- a well-intentioned but misguided mistake that is not in the interest of the great people of North Alabama who elected him a year ago as a Democrat. As his staff, we wish him only the best, and we all remain committed to the citizens of the Tennessee Valley. But we cannot, in good conscience, continue working for him. It is with deep sadness that we leave our work for the Fifth District. But because we are unwavering in our own principles, we have no choice but to move on. We do not know what the future holds, but we are taking a leap of faith with the belief we will soon find ourselves in the employment of principled public officials.""
Let's see here. Almost all the staffers quit as in ---> no longer employed, out of work, in the unemployment line and it is Rep. Parker Griffith that got his due?
Griffith really spelled out how wrong the Democrat Party is anymore in that video. It's funny his staff put themselves out of work. He should find a way to get rid of the hanger ons.
But then, I can see a republican staff wanting out of that stale party of no ideas.
Completely different circumstances... Alren spector is a worn out old bum who switched only when it became obvious he had no chance of being re-elected as a Republican. It didn't seem to do him much good, as his chance of re-election now is just as bad, if not worse. On the other hand, Griffith was a freshman with a long future, but he became disgusted with what is obviously a corrupt WH, and wanted to do the right thing. He is the kind of honest politician we need more of, and will have next November...
Obama has now completed 25% of his last term in the White House. I hope our country can survive three more years of this incompetent loser...!

That's some creative thinking you got there pal.
I know here in my state, you don't get unemployment benefits for quitting a job, telling your boss to take this job and shove it.
Cool...already saving the U.S. taxpayer major bucks in his first month as a Republican. Let's hope he only hires staff he really needs and sets a good example.
