Courier-Journal: Rep. Jim Gooch latest Democrat to switch to GOP
In a move that further weakens the Democratic Party's tenuous control of the Kentucky House of Representatives, State Rep. Jim Gooch has switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican.
. . . "Gooch said that in his final year as president Obama will belittle Kentuckians "for not understanding the 'true science' behind climate change. We will be told that 'climate change' is the biggest threat to our nation and our planet."
Proud Conservative . . . "Rep. Jim Gooch sent a resignation email to House Speaker Greg Stumbo and House Minority Floor Leader Jeff Hoover stating this decision is “a personal one, free of any negotiation for personal benefit to me.”
"Gooch has openly stated that he “cannot support any of the Democrats running for President.”
"He went on to say, “At a recent political gathering Speaker Stumbo acknowledged that the Democrat party was the ‘Party of Barack Obama’. I deliberated that thought and I came to the conclusion that I could be a member of the party of Obama, but that I cannot be a member of the party that supports Barack Obama’s policies. The majority of Democrats do support his radical agenda.' ” . . .
