Kim Davis is now a registered Republican

[cigaretteman]

Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who was jailed after refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has officially changed her party registration to the Republican Party.

A spokeswoman for the Liberty Council, a Christian legal organization representing Davis, confirmed the switch.

"My husband and I had talked about it for quite a while and we came to the conclusion that the Democratic Party left us a long time ago, so why were we hanging on?" Davis told Reuters in Washington, where she was attending the Values Voter Summit hosted by the Family Research Council.

Much was made about the fact that Davis was a registered Democrat earlier this month, at the height of the national discussion about religious freedom Davis stirred. That, some political observers said, was an effort by conservative Republicans to point out the hypocrisy within the Democratic Party.

Davis’s party affiliation and the reason it became a big deal was...complicated, as my colleague Janell Ross explained earlier this month. And it was made all the more confusing when GOP presidential candiates Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz joined her at a rally in Grayson, Ky., when she was released from jail after five nights behind bars.

But Davis added that, even if she is now registered as a Republican voter, the idea that she may campaign for GOP candidates remains "kind of far-fetched."

Looks like someone showed their true colors.

I definitely think that a homophobe has no place under our tent. Glad to see her gone.

Both political party's IQ just increased a bit with this move.

Huey, where is your compassion and understanding? You need to help her not shun her away like she is some kind of fallen Amish lady.

Assuming either one had an IQ to start with an increase up from low is still not acceptable.

Truth in advertising. She knows which party is the bigot party.

 

[Joes Place]

LMAO!!!

When she first hit the media circuit, I predicted she was going to become a Christian Conservative darling & poster child....I recall that PhantomFlyer insisted that would NEVER happen, because she was a Democrat.

Well....it DID happen (already), and NOW she's no longer a Democrat, to boot! You just cannot make this s**t, up, man!

Which husband?

Jebus, I wish her 15 minutes were up. Mankind will be better off at that point. #thisyearsjoetheplumber

She obviously feels more comfortable being in the party of those opposed to individual rights. Good for her.

 

[uniFIGHTuniFIGHT]

Who was that dipshit from Ohio who got more media attention than he ever deserved? Joe the Plumber? This is more annoying.

 

[TexMichFan]

For most people individual rights come down what they feel they should be as it relates to them. She believes she has a religious right that overrules the legal rights grant to gays.

 

[Floyd R.]

Kim Davis appears to be a classic Southern Democrat: a docial conservative and fiscal liberal. Either way, as a Rockefeller Republican, she doesn't belong in my party either

 

[IMCC965]

By doing what she did, she exercised her individual rights. You progressives didn't want her to do it.

 

[naturalmwa]

When a politician switches party, do they owe it to their constituents to resign and stand for reelection? This guy thinks so.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

By doing what she did, she exercised her individual rights. You progressives didn't want her to do it.

No, we're fine with her exercising her rights to go to the party she is more comfortable with, we just happen to think she doesn't get to limit other people's constitutional rights while being paid as a government employee.

This ole gal has been a conservative all her life.

 

[Funky Bunch]

If you see these 2 on an SAT question, this is the correct answer


Kim Davis : Democrats

Rachel Dolezal : Black People

 

[MichiganManLifer]

Good for her, but sad that democrats are back to zero people that care about family values. Now they will get even worse.

"family values"...........really? The GOP has the monopoly on them? You are so full of yourself, it ain't even funny.

 

[lucas80]

Be honest, she's got the intellect of the average person you see at work every day. Like someone posted about Joe the Plumber I cannot wait her for 15 minutes to be up. Unfortunately she seems to have acquired a taste for the fame, and will happily be drawn into the spotlight.
She is not a hero. She is a pawn, and a stupid pawn at that. If she didn't have a government job to support her she'd starve to death.

 

[TexMichFan]

"family values"...........really? The GOP has the monopoly on them? You are so full of yourself, it ain't even funny.

Really, you read those two posts and you get the GOP has a monopoly on family values? Take a step back and put down your talking points.

For the record I think my post was funny that I feel that went over your head in your haste to condemn.

Oh no, whatever shall they do without the ignorant bigot vote!? Lol

 

[lucas80]

As a Democrat I am willing to risk losing the Kim Davis wing of the party.

 

[TexMichFan]

Oh no, whatever shall they do without the ignorant bigot vote!? Lol

There are still ignorant bigoted Democrats who will vote so don't worry.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

maybe she's a natural born citizen and could run for prez

Kenya and Kentucky start with the same 3 letters so she would have to be out. To close call.

The GOP is the only party that shows they care for family values. Sure, you can call it a monopoly if that is what you are asking. The democrats can't get God out of this country fast enough.

 

[reotto]

Truth in advertising. She knows which party is the bigot party.

Oh look a straw man comment and post devoid of any real intellectual contribution.

To avoid this myself, just a reminder the magic number for the New York Mets is 1. At least I adddd something of substance.

Is this statement based on how many divorces the GOP 'darlings' have vs. the rest of the country. Who's in the lead? Kim Davis or Newt Gingrich?

A prime indicator of a ignorant Democrat is those that slap labels on people.

Way to cherry pick. Stick to doing the weather.

You need a list?

No one (especially me) is claiming that Dems are any more 'faithful' than Republicans when it comes to divorces and marriage. The difference is that Dems are not hypocritically posturing about family values while tossing those values to the wind in their own personal lives. And the GOP seems to have no problems with ignoring those within their own party who are morally bankrupt when it comes to their family values platform.

Ahh the wonderful affirmative attack strategy. Perfect. It must be easy when you don't believe in anything, and don't even align yourself affirmative with any group. Makes it easier to dance. Congrats.

Hey is it going to rain today? I have some yard work to do.

Translation: I can't defend my point, so I'll just babble here. And continue to attack those from other parties as being 'against' family values, while 'ignoring the log in my own eye'. Very Christian of you.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

the republican party has not had the family values platform since 1989
