'WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Veteran Democratic Rep. Ralph Hall of Texas said on Friday he had switched parties to become a Republican after being denied funds for his district for the first time.

In a move that widens the Republicans' majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, Hall said the chairman of the Appropriations Committee had "zeroed out" his district simply because he was a Democrat.

"This is the first time, I've just been zeroed out," he said in a telephone interview. "I've always said that if being a Democrat hurt my district, I'd either resign, retire or switch parties."

Democrats had control there for 120 years...

You'd think they'd want a break.

Yeah, so far so good with the other side in charge. Let's name all the great things they've done. You first.

Even with a 120 year advantage, you'd want me to go first?

That's pretty sad.

Nothing but fact after fact from you jackasses, I love it. Everything is going great with this President, let's see what he can do with another 4. Everyone is better off with a hero like him in charge.
