Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, a longtime Democrat, says she is switching to the Republican Party because she feels abandoned by Democrats in her fight against same-sex marriage.
Davis' made the announcement while in Washington, D.C., to attend the Family Research Council's Value Voters Summit, said Charla Bansley, a spokeswoman for Liberty Counsel, which represents Davis in her legal battles.
"I've always been a Democrat, but the party left me," Davis said, according to Bansley.
No I would say that SHE abandoned the Democratic party four years ago when she became an Apostolic Christian. I'm not saying there aren't any of those among Democrats but I would be willing to bet that they are few in number.
Somehow I doubt that there are too many Democrats arguing for her to stay in the party.
In fact I don't think many of us realized she was one of us in the first place.
So look GOP. You may have lost a Speaker of the House today, but you gained an anti-gay marriage religious nut.
Congratulations.
Good fucking riddance....
ReplyDeleteHmm....do you think she voted for Obama?
ReplyDeleteOh the pain! How will I survive?
ReplyDelete(pause)
Ok I'm over it.
No, hun, you just didn't get the support that you wanted from those that understand how The Supreme Court works. Of course you'd switch, sweetie, wherever there's money and sympathy....sounds somewhat familiar.....snort
ReplyDeleteBuh Bye!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats left her long ago.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking for myself, and a couple other Democrats:
ReplyDeletefrankly, we don't want her.
Funny? she looks like a republican clown. And acts so very un Christian. She has been married x4? and dances to eye of the tiger? Really?
ReplyDeleteI would have guess her as a bag. T bag.
ReplyDeleteKentucky? Her hubby bubby looks like he was in deliverance. Suppose she has had a bad experience with one or two of those x hubby bubbies? like one was gay? or WORST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!aaaaaaaaaaaaaa BOO.
ReplyDeleteIf a couple marries in Kentucky and then gets divorced, are they still legally brother and sister?
Deletemlaiuppa: now that's funny! And Davis' husband reminds me of a cross between Junior Samples and Howdy Doody. It was just too funny when his wife got out of jail, and there's Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz( somewhere!) and there he is: overalls and hat! Seriously, was Huckabee having immediate second thoughts about being there? What a campaign picture! Huckabee, Kim Davis and Howdy Doody!
DeleteP.S. I know it's way O/T, but has Huckabee ever said anything about Josh Duggar's latest confession? Cheating, porn, strippers and all??? Just wondering.
3:47 Not that I've seen anything reported, much like grandma Sarah's lack of acknowledgment
Deleteof yet another pregnancy by Bristol.
If you don't talk about, it ain't happenin'. All part of the convenient, bifurcated brainwork's of their delusional right-wing cult.
She pretended to be a democrat in order to win the election. I think it's well known.
ReplyDeleteYes, she did.
DeleteI smell a republican all over this stunt and many others lately. I mean really. The repukes are desperado. The marching orders are disrupt in every city county state and federal level.and their citizens. Check it out in your city......what are the repukes doing?.
DeleteShe was a Dixiecrat, and they left the Democratic Party in 1948.
ReplyDeleteClosest she gets to 'crat' is Dixiecrat. As in rat. Read a story online recently about her political 'affiliation' which described her motive for running as a Dem as being nothing more than a ploy to beat the Repug candidate. It's in the same vein as a guy 'accidentally' registering with a secessionist party for several years. Oops? I don't think so. Charlatans. Pickpockets.
ReplyDeleteBy her 'political' actions she is not a Democrat, by her extreme hate filled attitudes she is not a Christian, by her ignorance of the Constitution and the Rule of Law she's not a very intelligent or honest government employee.
Her recently discovered religiosity makes her little more than an easy mark for the ambulance chasing legal team pushing her onward. No worries for their generous fees while they drag this farce thru the media, donations have poured in for her defense fund. Hate sells well.
That should make it easier to recall her. The Democrats that voted for her won't like her switching parties so soon after the election.
DeleteTwitterati have been saying that she is setting herself up to grift, ala another famous motor mouth. I won't be surprised. Speculation is that a ghost writer is churning even as I write. Those rumors usually have credit because in that world, rumors have value.
ReplyDeleteSo the cameras have left town and she is feeling lonely, blah, blah, blah.
ReplyDeleteShe followed the cameras to DC. She was given an award at the RWNJ confab last night. It was the religious Emmy award show.
DeleteYep, she left the party. I know pro-life dems who only part with the party on this one issue. 99% of what they believe though walks alongside democratic policy. In this juncture of our country there is no way this woman was ever a real democrat if she scuttles this easily to the insane clown posse party.
ReplyDeleteI suspect pro-life dems are really pro LIFE - including caring for the already born and anti death penalty.
DeleteIndeed Anon 6:45.
DeleteI think all decent humans would care about a life from conception, birth, adult till death. This is not a political thing even though the republicans think it is. This is about Life. Choice. Humanity.
DeleteTheyre welcome to her. Party of haters gets another hater.
ReplyDeletePitiful fraud who inherited her spot from her Mother. Her son works there waiting for his anointment. She's now on the right wing grift train. GAH hate this shit - sjp
ReplyDeleteHer son will NOT replace her. If it's between her son and Brian Mason, the only deputy clerk doing his job, Masno will win.
DeleteSo much for the David Dynasty.
Kim Davis is being "honored" at the Values Voter Summit with all the other tea bag idiots. Sick bunch and she will fit right in with them.
ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON, D.C. - Family Research Council (FRC) announced today that Kim Davis, the Kentucky County Clerk who was jailed after declining to issue same-sex marriage licenses, will be honored with the “Cost of Discipleship Award” at the Values Voter Summit on Friday evening, September 25.
Last week, FRC President Tony Perkins met with Davis just prior to her release from jail and invited her and her attorney, Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver, to attend the 10th annual Summit, which will be held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C.

ka-ching!!!!
DeleteNow we know why she changed. She's as genuine as Sarah Palin..... ka-ching.
Oh, she already has her
Delete'memoir' coming out in December, too. Sarah better watch out: competition for the rube dollars. Can a PAC be far behind?
I wonder if her idol and role model, Sarah Palin, will attend? Bet Kim would just love to have her picture taken with the original quitter grifter Queen of Mean.
DeleteWhen will this stupid old whore announce she's running for president? That'll do wonders for her asking price.
ReplyDeleteShe was never really a Democrat - just a tattered family remnant from when the Dixiecrats walked across the aisle. Those white males never do learn to clean up after themselves or pack out their trash.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kim! God must be proud that you have caused strife. Jesus must be proud that you won't accept real love between individuals when he accepted Mary Magdalene a whore.
ReplyDeleteNo where in the New Testament is homosexuality brought up, but i do see judge not for thee shall not be judged.I see love as the saving grace.
The Old Testament and the New Testament differ greatly and how can you follow both? Do you pick and choose? Doe's she follow Jesus or God. Ask her, for they vary greatly.
God is not somebody i would want to hang around with, if she reads her bible how doe's she justify God and Jesus?
These people are stupid and she is not a martyr.She is just a dumb hick who thinks Heaven is only for people like her, and Jesus weeps.
What god?
DeleteThe flying Spaghetti Monster. The point being if you say you believe in a God than you better be willing to take the heat of inconsistencies within your own religeon.
DeleteShe's always been a Republican. This change is just paperwork.
ReplyDeleteYeah, something smells about this so-called story. Is there proof anywhere that this woman was a registered Democrat, and that she ever voted? I somehow doubt it. What would Huckabee think!
DeleteIt's a big day!
ReplyDeleteIt is official for Caitlyn and now Kim.
I am shocked. SHOCKED, I SAY.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance to hypocritical, self absorbed, wouldn't know Jesus if he showed up at one of her near half a dozen weddings, rubbish.
I'd like to buy a beer for the person on tv who yelled "GO KIM!" as she walked by on her "I done got outta jail" stroll...and when she turned to say "thank you for your support!" the guy goes "no...I mean, GO. Like, AWAY."
MSNBC should have given that way more coverage!
We all knew she's way too fucking stupid to be a Democrat!
ReplyDeleteLook at her in that picture. What an asshole.
ReplyDeleteIs she pregnant?
DeleteYou go dude.
ReplyDeletehttp://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2015/09/22/3704129/fired-lesbian-schoolteacher-to-see-pope/
Weapons-grade shit head.
ReplyDeleteSomething isn't right about this story. Is there any proof she was ever registered as a Democrat? Has she ever voted, period? I think this was planted and propped up by someone around her to gain more media attention. She said she wouldn't resign her job because she would lose her 'voice.' Planting stories like switching political parties puts her back in the news as she apparently likes. And for gods sake woman, find a stylist and cut that shit of your head!
ReplyDeleteShe's Apostalic. They can't join the cult unless they are ugly. She passed the test right off. The can NEVER cut their hair/their shining glory. *eyeroll*
DeleteJust how did she find three men to marry her? Of course seeing pics of the last husband Number 1 and 4??(a hee haw wannabe) the bar Was set pretty low
DeleteNow she can run for president as a rethug. They needed a Walker-Perry replacement.
ReplyDeleteIn the above picture, she looks like she's having an orgasm for Jeebus.
ReplyDeleteTrue
DeleteNumbness in the nether regions is far too facile an explanation for the apparent disconnect this woman suffers from the reality the rest of us enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI guess it could be something else.
Confidence is moderate.
