Shoe's on the other footMy conservative friend Jim was all indignant when Jim Jeffords switched parties to the Democrats in 2001. I wonder what he'll say about a Texas Democrat in Congress switching to the Republicans. UPDATE: Jeffords became an "Independent", not a Democrat. Also, Viking Pundit emails: At least Hill was refreshingly honest about why he switched parties.I think I mostly agree with that, but as I recall my friend's reason for disagreeing with Jefford's switch was that since he was elected as a Republican he shouldn't be able to switch parties after he was elected. I'm eagerly anticipating his explanation for why this same reasoning wouldn't apply to Hill. |
