Showing Original Post only (View all)Are there Dems in office that are actually Repubs? [View all]
A woman from Arkansas called into a radio show and asked if there was some rule or policy about a politician running for office as a Dem, getting elected, and then switching to be a Republican? She said this happened 3 times in Arkansas and she was not happy about it.
