Santa brings the House GOP an early Christmas present this year

The USA Today is reporting that Alabama Democratic Congressman, Parker Griffith, has officially announced that he is switching his party to Republican. This is more good news for the GOP faithful. All political signs are pointing to a banner year for the GOP in 2010.

Griffith, a radiation oncologist, had accumulated one of the most conservative voting records of any House Democrat.

He was one of seven Democrats to oppose Obama's economic stimulus measure early this year. He was one of 39 House Democrats who voted against a major health care bill that narrowly passed.

He also voted against an anti-global warming bill pushed strongly by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Democrats will hold 257 House seats to the GOP's 178 after Griffith's switch.

Wow this guy has a better Republican record than our own flip flopper, Senator Specter, who is fighting for his political life right now. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Griffith to the fold. May the force be with him!!!!
