Grace... Its not the switching of parties that bothers me. There is so little difference anymore that it really does not matter anyway. Why should it matter what letter is after a name? Shouldn't they be voting their conscience anyway? Party be darned?

What bothers me is the utter arrogance of his statement. The utter arrogance of just about EVERY person we elect to "lead" us. The obvious contempt for The Constitution.

Why do we need parties anyway? I see them as the vessel that divides us more than anything. Republicans this.... Democrats that... We seem to rarely argue VALUES or Constitutionality anymore. Why?
