'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."

They just showed it on state run FOX news channel...


The failed to mention WHY he changed parties.

FOX failed to mention...LOL ... What is their catch line already?

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.

Why am I even in this thread... I live in Massachusetts...
and a lot of good the Dems have done here...
:1orglaugh

Fuck Texas. Give it back to the mexicans for all I care.

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. :thumbsup

Does the Truth Hurt THAT bad?

:winkwink:

For fair and balanced news?

Can someone explain to a non American what this appropriations whatsit is and why and how it can just cut off their funding?
