#3 "I appreciate Congressman Griffith's being a very dedicated congressman. But we believe he made a mistake -- a well-intentioned but misguided mistake that is not in the interest of the great people of North Alabama who elected him a year ago as a Democrat. As his staff, we wish him only the best, and we all remain committed to the citizens of the Tennessee Valley. But we cannot, in good conscience, continue working for him."

Said by someone who lives in either MD, VA, or DC. This is the Beltway(tm) talking telling the people back in the district that they know what's better for them. It's really not about party as much as about power.

#4 I'm sure they already have other jobs lined up (most of them, anyway). Not like it would be that hard to replace them with 10+% official unemployment, however.

#5 Weren't doing there jobs very well anyway if they are so partisan and the Representative switched sides. Wonder how many stayed.

#6 Find the words or phrases that don't fit in the following paragraph and draw a horizontal line through each please:

"Alabama's 5th district has deserved and has ~~benefited~~ from great Democratic ~~conservative leadership~~ since Reconstruction. And until now they had it," Wheeler said.

So much for employee loyalty to the guy that signs the checks.
