Artur Davis switches from Democratic to Republican party
Posted by Rachel Weiner at 08:36 PM ET, 05/29/2012


It’s official: Former Democratic Alabama House member and gubernatorial candidate Artur Davis is becoming a Republican and laying the groundwork for a potential political future in Virginia.

“If I were to run, it would be as a Republican,” he wrote on his Web site. “And I am in the process of changing my voter registration from Alabama to Virginia, a development which likely does represent a closing of one chapter and perhaps the opening of another.”

Davis added that he has been approached about running for a House seat in Northern Virginia in 2014 or 2016 or the Virginia state legislature in 2015. As The Fix reported earlier this month, he could run against Rep. Gerry Connolly (D).

“I welcome this development,” Connolly said of the possibility on MSNBC last Friday. “The fact that they feel they need to recruit a former Democrat from Alabama who does not yet live in our district is a very welcome development, and I look forward to debating him.”

Since losing the 2010 gubernatorial primary in Alabama by a wide margin, the moderate Davis has become a critic of his own party and broken with Democrats on a number of high-profile issues, including voter ID laws.

The Republican Party, Davis said in his statement, “is fighting the drift in this country in a way that comes closest to my way of thinking: wearing a Democratic label no longer matches what I know about my country and its possibilities.” The Alabama Democratic Party in particular, he says, “has weakened and lost faith with more and more Alabamians every year.”

8. He just spit on a lot of people who supported him

He is nothing more than a self absorbed politician.

I wonder how much concern there was about loyalty from the DUmp when Arlen Spector and Jim Jeffords jumped ship?   :whistling:

4. Apparentlly, what he knows about his country and its

possibilities is that it is now favoring the current move toward fascism, which Republicans favor.

Wrong, you ****ing retard. Once, JUST ONCE, I'd like to see one of you dumbasses show where we favor strong regulations and governmental control over the private sector. You idiots are just too Damn stupid to know what the hell Fascism is.

But parties change. As I told a reporter last week, this is not Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party (and he knows that even if he can’t say it).  If you have read this blog, and taken the time to look for a theme in the thousands of words (or free opposition research) contained in it, you see the imperfect musings of a voter who describes growth as a deeper problem than exaggerated inequality; who wants to radically reform the way we educate our children; who despises identity politics and the practice of speaking for groups and not one national interest; who knows that our current course on entitlements will eventually break our solvency and cause us to break promises to our most vulnerable—that is, if we don’t start the hard work of fixing it.

On the specifics, I have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again. I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured: frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the substance of a united country. You have also seen me write that faith institutions should not be compelled to violate their teachings because faith is a freedom, too. You’ve read that in my view, the law can’t continue to favor one race over another in offering hard-earned slots in colleges: America has changed, and we are now diverse enough that we don’t need to accommodate a racial spoils system. And you know from these pages that I still think the way we have gone about mending the flaws in our healthcare system is the wrong way—it goes further than we need and costs more than we can bear. ---Artur Davis

Welcome aboard, Mr. Davis.

BTW, Artur Davis was the ONLY Democrat that actually came out and took the blame for the housing disaster.

When an R switches to a D, do we automatically make them out to be the newest member of the KKK??

No, of course not . . . idiot racist primitives!  :censored:

I'll have to see how Mr. Davis votes as a Republican. I am reticent to high five him on the switch, because I want to see if its truly sincere first.

I can't believe they let Bigdarryl get away with that.  Is that really considered acceptable over there?  Guess so.

I think bigdarryl is part of the LGBQWTF crowd over there.

So, yes, it will probably be overlooked/ignored.
