No Endorsement, Give Us Back Our Money: The Parties Respond to the Griffith Switch

Republican challenger —

a Tea Party activist who’d been waging a Republican campaign for Griffith’s seat since August — it was “manna from heaven.”

This from local Teabaggers-

Tea Party.. concluded, “We are thankful for Parker Griffith’s committed stance on health care, and that he has voted against major socialist bills this year. However, we do not trust him and we do not support him as our next congressman. There are two excellent candidates that are already running in this race: Les Phillip and Mo Brooks. It is our hope and goal that the strongest constitutional conservative will win, and we look forward to participating in this important race.”

As was reported last week, Republican and conservative activists hardly gave Griffith a hero’s welcome when he joined the party. After Griffith failed to start a stampede of Democratic party-switching, and as his past Democratic affiliations have gotten media traction, he’s quickly become just another Republican congressman with a fishy (for conservatives) voting record — a prime target for people like Phillip.

Coupled with the fact his entire staff quit...We can safely say Parker is probably not having a good day today.
