DescriptionParker Griffith, who famously jumped to the Republican Party as a freshman in Congress, said this week that it's not easy being a Republican.

He said the GOP within Alabama often appears a “safe harbor for mean-spiritedness” and that the in-fighting in Washington has the national Republican Party falling apart like “a snowball headed to hell.”
Yet he said he has no regrets about switching parties, that the national Democratic Party is too liberal and not interested in protecting jobs in Alabama. Plus, he said, he could foresee the Democratic Party within Alabama failing at the polls.

"I am a man without a country,” said Griffith during a long talk about politics on Monday.
