Hooray For Principle! Congressman Parker Griffith’s Staff Resigns Over Switch To GOP

It is very refreshing to see that some people who work for a politician have strong enough convictions that they are willing to resign their positions rather than support disloyalty to party by their boss.

I am referring to Congressman Parker Griffith, a Blue Dog Democrat, who had refused to back any of President Obama’s agenda in 2009, and decided to switch parties just before Christmas.

Today, the staff announced as a group that they were unwilling to support his switch based on principles, and beliefs in the Democratic agenda.

Griffith faces a tough GOP primary, and hopefully, he will lose the nomination because of his lack of loyalty to the party that elected him to Congress in 2008. His staff is to be commended, in difficult times, for showing that principles do indeed matter!
