The quotes below are from a story in Friday’s Houma paper about former State Rep. Mitch Theriot switching from the “D” to “R” label before running for an open lege seat:
“This is not philosophical,” Theriot said. “My philosophies are the same. It looked like to me that the Democratic Party wasn’t going to get involved in this race again. I came close in 2003 and I could have won it with a little help from the party.”
It’s all about winning. Kudos to Mitch for honesty.
QUERY: If one has philosophies about being a lege as opposed to a philosophy, isn’t that the same as standing for nothing in particular?
