Peter King considers switching parties, tells people to stop donating to GOP

Peter King, the bigoted Republican Congressman who is best known for his anti-Muslim Congressional hearings, is steaming mad at John Boehner. So mad, in fact, that he has indicated that he is not ruling out a potential party switch over the Speaker's refusal to bring the Sandy aid bill up for a vote.

He'll become a Democrat the day I become captain of the Starship Enterprise. He's a hateful, grandstanding prick. Although I do admire that he is looking out for his constituents...that's what a Rep is supposed to do.

at least he is trying to support his constituents, which ironically, his party of hate do not want to help at all

people. Better hope and pray for no major storm damages to Texas or the gulf coast. No money for relief.
I wonder what Governor Christie thinks or who's he's chewing out today.

And King and Christie are in the party of lunatics, people who hate the northeast so much, they wouldn't care if we all froze to death. So they deserve what they are getting from their party. Unfortunately, it is hurting hundreds of thousands of people waiting for help.

He's going to seen as the Repub insider that could not deliver. And he is such a Media Whore (props to that site) that he has so much baggage in the bucket. Wow so great to be back on DU!

He looks independent or even "democrat leaning" in an area that is going to hate republicans in 2014.
