RedState/UYR See Eye to Eye

Uh, Yeah Right discovers that it agrees with RedState founder Erick Erickson (and it's not that the "k" in Erick is lame, even though it is lame). It's that the "conversion" of Blue Dog Dem Parker Griffith of Alabama to the Republican Party is no big deal to Obama.

That is a huge blow to Barack Obama. Griffith was an extremely endangered Democrat.

We should now hope him [sic] be an extremely endangered Republican in a primary. We will not fix the GOP's problems if we keep allowing people who are not one of us to suddenly switch the letter next to their name and magically become one of us.

For once I agree. Griffith voted against the stimulus package, health care reform, the energy bill, equal pay for women, the 2010 budget resolution and financial regulatory reform. He said at a town hall in August that he would not vote for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as Speaker of the House again because of her "divisive and polarizing" image. He also told constituents at the time that only Blue Dog Democrats could prevent the health care bill from moving forward in the House.

Erickson understands that the key to future Republican success is their ideological purity, their religious consistency, their racial perfection, and their regional provincialism. White southern Christianists with no tolerance for the opinions of others within their ranks.

Oh, wait...
