A former Republican congresswoman in Florida has left the GOP and joined the Democrats, citing her former party’s increasing attacks on women and other minorities. Ana Rivas Logan said: “The GOP of today is not the party I joined. It’s not the party of my parents. It’s a party that has been radicalized and held hostage by a group of extremists.”
After joining the Democrats, Ana Rivas Logan tweeted
Proud to be a member of a compassionate party. Today I became a Democrat!

She then sent this other tweet, a picture showing just how disgusted she is with the Republicans;

Charlie Crist welcomed Rivas Logan to the party with a tweet reading:
Bienvenida @anarivaslogan to the Democratic Party! Glad you are here my friend. http://t.co/Jm62kCFOMf

Rivas Logan explained that she felt she could not, in good conscience, continue carrying the flag for the Republican Party as both a woman and an Hispanic-American. She dismissed the modern Republican Party as nothing more than:
“a party that attacks women and minorities — and one that asked me, and my former Hispanic Republican colleagues in the Florida legislature, to turn on their own people by supporting extreme anti-immigrant policies.”

BTW, I’m an extreme political junkie. Know Florida politics like the back of my hand. I have never heard of this women. Are you sure she’s not a former State Rep. and not a former Congresswoman? if she’s a former Congresswoman she must have served like one term or something. She is a complete unknown.
So, we should back a holocaust-like ethnic cleansing of white people in the United States, and allow all Third World immigrants into the U.S.? How is that any different from what Hitler advocated? Wipe out the whites, and Third Worlders can run the United States. Sheesh. Racist pricks all y’all.
COOL!!!!
