2. The man is a flip-flopper, having switched to GOP before

FRANKFORT, Ky. - A state senator whose party switch 5 1/2 years ago helped the GOP take control of the chamber said Wednesday he will leave the Republican Party over its actions in a disputed election.

Sen. Bob Leeper said he will register as an independent later this week, becoming the lone independent in the General Assembly and the first since 1984.

His protest came after Senate Republicans voted to seat the GOP candidate who received the most votes in a Jefferson County election in November, even though courts have ruled Dana Seum Stephenson did not meet constitutional residency requirements.

Wouldn't you be suspicious if someone at the federal level were to switch parties for the second time, let's say someone like Democrat-turned-Republican Richard Shelby?

3. leeper eh? that's an ironic name.

but if that means there's one less republican in the senate, it's all good.

4. I have more respect for him than those that support Bush blindly

The GOP has been taken over by radical extremists: its time for all moderates to leave it. Good for senator Bob Leeper.

5. David Williams is as extreme as what you see in the bush junta

He has dictatorial rule over the state senate. Leeper jumping ship is a good sign.
