Tollison is an opportunist. When the House and Senate are in Republican hands, he wakes up and finds his conservative streak.

I hope Tate does not reward this guy from the party of Obama and Billy McCoy.

A grape is better than a crumb. His switch won't go unrewarded.

If this is indeed true he's already received his reward when Delbert eliminated his opponent. I don't care why they switch as long as the Republican advantage grows stronger. Bill Billingsley

Now it's starting to make sense to me why Dilbert threw Todd Wade off the ballot at the last minute. I wonder if Tollison got nervous and cut a deal with party leadership to switch in return for nuking ol' Wade.

Bound to happen. Tollison is engaged to one of Gov. Barbour's attorneys. Ptobably caved under the pressure there.

Politics make strange bedfellows.

Some "pressure" will cause a man to do almost anything.

A politician ~ an opportunist. Say it ain't so Maude!chtste

The party should say thanks, but no thanks. He is not a true Republican, but a liberal Democrat who sees which way the wind is blowing. There will be many jumping on the bandwagon in order to protect their committee assignments. Ultimately, this will be bad for the party since they will hurt the party from within. They are RINO's and not philisophically Republicans. By the way, how many times has this guy been married?

Maybe he wants to with a winner now that the other side lost. Some other hangers on with the dems will now see the light when voting for speaker.

If the GOP can live with RINOs like Quentin Whitwell and Ben Allen then surely there is room for Tollison.

The reason the Donkeys are all upset about Gray's move is their fear other Donkeys more conservative than Gray will follow suit. Gray's defection provides more cover to make the move. When you have party and press Donkeys working overtime to tar and feather Gray with the term "liberal" you know they are shitting their pants.

this guy is a snake!

Dont confuse apples with oranges. Ben Allen is a sycophant and hanger-on. Quentin Whitwell is a ho. Urban politics must yield shakedown artists of many colors. Explains why Q-Dub fits in so well at Shitty Hall. Gen. Phil must weep for his country daily. At least Tollison acts like the snake he is.

I welcome Tollison. The fact of the matter is, regardless of suggested influence, this state is better off with a strong conservative approach in these dark economic times.

Funny, the mention of Ben Allen. Oh, the tangled web we weave.

Yawn.

How does someone go from being considered for US Attorney by Obama to being a Republican?

The reason the Donkeys are all upset about Gray's move

... is that he presented himself to the voters as a Democrat, purely to trick them.

If you're going to switch parties, announce that before the qualifying deadline.

That's the symptom Anderson not the illness.

5:44 asks the ever-important question, "How many times has this guy been married?" Who gives a shit?

You're right Kapt...Everyone knows that Mississippi is not and has never been a conservative State until now that the Republican are in control. I'm so glad you guys are going to straighten out all the wild spending and stamp out liberalism.
LMAO

Stick around. You might learn something.

I'm not going to get in your pissing match. MI and PA would rival your assumption as I have first hand experience.

In the future I'd like to see both parties make candidates sign contracts that, in exchange for financial support during a campaign, the candidate agrees to remain in the party until the end of his/her term. If they change parties before that they must reimburse the party they left with twice the amount of the support they received.

Knowingly taking the campaign money under false pretenses is a large part of why people (of both parties) get so pissed when this happens.

I mean, unless he had a stroke election night and woke up realizing he's really a Republican, this guy knew he was going to do this if the Repubs' took the house. Pure self-serving political douchbaggery (not nearly as honorable as jackassery, IMHO).
