Dem leaving Dem Party because Dean elected to Chair
That was announced by Hannity and will be on his show tonight. The only one I can think of is Martin Frost who joined Faux News. If this doesn't beat all! Just think ... he was running as DNC chair. How close we came to one in our midst.

36. Maybe he will finally stop calling himself a freakin' Dem then
He is gone, indeed. But he retains the title so they can claim that one token bipartisan dude.

4. DINO
if that is what made whoever jump ship to the dark side then they weren't a Democrat to begin with.

Lieberman?

He's already a sheep anyway; he might as well take off his wolf's clothing.

Edited on Wed Feb-16-05 06:11 PM by Rob H.
Edit: I like DenverDem's idea better. Lieberman deserves to be booted out anyway--him leaving voluntarily certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings any.

10. Good riddance asshat!!
Whoever it is--I'm glad to have them out.

The Democratic party needs authentic, meaningful progressive change.

What we don't need is another DLCer, who wants to kow tow to corporate America and turn the party into Republican Lite.

If we've lost one of these weasels, then I say--job well done, Dean!!

Ok, who's next?

11. defending those basic principles on which our nation has been built?
"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life."
-- Adolph Hitler, February 1, 1933.

20. He's a county commissioner from Hamilton County, Tn.
This guy just pretended to be a Dem just to get elected. He is a repub in sheep clothing. His name is Curtis Adams and this county is party of Chattanooga, Tn. Loves to be in the limelight and full of himself.

22. Here is his website....big deal over what was never real.
http://www.hamiltontn.gov/Commission/8/district8.htm

More from Kos on this.
SNIP..."Is Curtis a die-hard Democrat who's been abandoned by the party? Well, in 2004 he demanded that a referendum be held before the country increased taxes for education. In 2002 he mocked the ACLU for suing to stop Ten Commandments buildings in local courthouses. In his words ...
"I don't think they are strong enough to kick a pussy cat in my opinion. In this country, politicians down through the years have just sat idle and backed up and backed up. You can't have prayer in school. You can't do this and you can't do that. It's a minority. The majority rules in this country."

So, a low-level Southern politician in a Republican town, who opposes taxing for education and wants to put the Ten Commandments in courthouses, has switched to the GOP."

44. That's where I'm from
and he was talking about this on the news earlier this week saying he was leaving because of Dean. My Mom filled me in. Of course I told her he wasn't a real democrat anyways and didn't need him. Definietly a republican in sheep clothing. According to what he said on the news he had been thinking about it for a while and this was the final decision for him. :eyes:

30. Thought it was him cause he's hired at Faux News but
I knew my fellow Du'ers would clue me in on who it was and it's Curtis Adams from Chattanooga, TN ... see posts 20 and 22. Looks like he was a Puke in Dem clothing and further demeaned himself when he said his switch was due to Dean getting the DNC chair.

33. ONE? They found ONE?
For a "polarizing" figure like Dean is supposed to be, that's not so much, is it?

Right here at DU I've seen a pretty good little handful of people who are coming BACK to the party as a result of Dean's election -- don't see that on Fox, do ya?

I'll bet NO ONE would be leaving if stoooopid Dems weren't drinking the damn KoolAid and believing the mainstream media lies about Dean. But no matter. They'll find out soon enough OR not. I don't know we need Dems quite that stooopid. :shrug:

Whomever it is, welcome to the republican party, asshat.

I guess having a moderate democrat in charge of the DNC is simply too much of a compromise.

but I do in this case. Most of these southern conservatives have already become Republicans. This makes for better politics as the ideologies are aligned with the proper party.

On the other hand, he's a nobody loser. I take it back, don't waste your time or give Enmity the satisfaction.
