I think we will see this more and more if the GOP continues their vile agenda of helping the rich and slamming the rest of us. The real question is, how long will it take for the GOP to see real fallout from their agenda.

I do think this is admirable--switching on the issues. The difficulty will come in 2012 if Obama continues to be the Democratic candidate. I think Obamabots are in for a bad surprise. I know an aweful lot of liberals and progressives who will not support that Bush-in-an-Orator's-Suit again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not like anyone on the left who is dissatisfied with Obama will ever support anyone *further* the the right, *especially* the teabaggers and cristofacists that have taken over the GOP.

What this shows article shows is that even the *Republicans* are starting to get tired of the teabaggers and cristofacists that have taken over the GOP. And that they no longer want to be associated with them, even if it means switching parties.

RINO seems to be changing to "Really I'm Not One-of-Them"

Perhaps a lefty conspiracy theory will eminate since faux spews is full of them?Maybe these guys are simply 'appearing' to leave,then will push their same agenda as they always have.Just sayin'...Who could you ever really trust in politics?

    Yeah, right. Sure they are. They are vulnerable in their bids for re-election so Soro's agents are offering them big bucks to change parties.

      It is nice to see that there is even a possibility that some politicians have a conscience and are more concerned about doing the right thing for their constituents and not have to follow a party line.

      I hope this becomes a trend and then a tsunami.
