Kim Davis becomes a Republican. "I've always been a Democrat, but the party left me."



Kentucky clerk Kim Davis switching parties to become Republican

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/09/26/kentucky-clerk-kim-davis-switching-parties-to-become-republican/

LOUISVILLE, Ky – Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, a longtime Democrat, says she is switching to the Republican Party because she feels abandoned by Democrats in her crusade against same-sex marriage.

Davis made the announcement while in Washington, D.C., to attend the Family Research Council's Value Voters Summit, said Charla Bansley, a spokeswoman for Liberty Counsel, which represents Davis in her legal battles.

"I've always been a Democrat, but the party left me," Davis said, according to Bansley.

Davis will address the conservative group Friday night.

She is probably thinking of ways to make money off of this and she probably will.

Good for her her. She is still a narrow-minded bigot.

(which will not stop same-sex sex, same-sex love, or same-sex cohabitation) is far more important to her than caring for the poor, educating children, and caring for the environment.

What WOULD Jesus do?

The best part is that the freepers are taking a victory lap over our "loss."

It would be hilarious if it weren't so sad and delusional.

We didn't lose her, we never had her--and after learning what she's about, I don't know why we'd WANT her.

Donald Trump on Kentucky clerk: Same-sex marriage the 'law of the land'

Washington (CNN)Republican front-runner Donald Trump said Friday that he wished a Kentucky county clerk, Kim Davis, was not jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but he added that the Supreme Court has ruled and it is "the law of the land."

"You have to go with it. The decision's been made, and that is the law of the land," the real estate mogul said Friday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe.""I would say the simple answer is let her clerks do it," he said. "Now from what I understand she's not letting the clerks do it either. The other simple answer is rather than going through this -- because it's really a very, very sticky situation and terrible situation -- 30 miles away they have other places, they have many other places where you get licensed. And you have them actually quite nearby, that's another alternative."


*decisions, decisions*

Her parents probably supported Strom Thurmond, and that's probably what she thought of as the Democratic Party. Now she sees she's wrong. Good riddance.

This woman, never in a thousand years would she back Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, or any of the others running for President. I KNEW SHE would go to the other party, and betting that Huckabee told her, "Honey you should be a Republican because you have our values" and so good riddance because she is NO ONE we want in our party. She is the one, who someone up thread said, took a very right turn when Democrats were heading forward.

I would suggest you let go of Huskster's hand before he drags you off the crazy cliff. But if you are determined to do so then the rest of us had better stay on here on the road so someone can rescue you when you end up a splat at the bottom.

The bubba party gains a new mascot of their same ilk.

Democrats don't have to disavow her.

And she can now proceed to her True Calling: a new career of grifting, probably under the tutelage of the Master, Princess Sparklemoose.
