As leftists across America denounced the action of a Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue same-sex marriage certificates, many were indignant to learn that the ostensibly bigoted Christian identified as a Democrat.
Newsbusters pointed out earlier this month that the New York Times referred to Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis as a Republican, later acknowledging the mistake – which it called “an editing error” – in a correction.
“The suspicion here,” wrote Tom Blumer, “is that the paper’s editors were thrilled to identify her as a Republican in the story’s fifth paragraph before the front-page jump, but subsequently quite disappointed that the correction caused them to disclose her (horrors!) Democrat Party membership in that same place once the error was discovered.”
More openly left-leaning outlets, including Daily Kos, were eager to point out that Davis is “no real Democrat.”
Apparently, she agrees. The same site followed up its previous report with coverage of Davis’ announcement that she is no longer a member of the party.
As a Democrat, I welcome #KimDavis to the Republican Party.

“My husband and I had talked about it for quite a while,” she told a reporter at the Values Voter Summit this week, “and we came to the conclusion that the Democratic Party left us a long time ago, so why were we hanging on?”
Daily Kos staff writer Scout Finch celebrated the religious official’s affiliation switch with an invocation of his own.
“Hallelujah!” the article’s headline announces. “Embattled Kentucky clerk Kim Davis switches political parties.”

Of course we need to respond to the story as its been told! Don’t worry were the government and we say the medicine is good for you! The questions should be (1 who has she been hanging out with/ talking to (2 or to put another way who has she been recieving instructions from (3 might it be over the course of the next year or so there would be indications of income not commensurate with her employment? (4 in other words who is she really working for?
