Our politicians think we are all fools and if we let them get away with their shenanigans we are.
Our election boards spend lots of time and tons of taxpayer money to have primaries so Democrats and Republicans can vote for who they want from that party to represent them in general elections. It is almost like a contract. For elected officials to then change their mind about their party affiliations during their term in office is tantamount to breaking a contract. If the elected official is not happy to represent that party, and the voters, the official should resign. While still in office the official should vote his or her conscience - if he or she has one.
The time to change parties is if and when they run again
We have just had Pedro Espada and Hiram Monserrate make a mockery of the voting process in N.Y. State. They have played games with their party affiliations and the voters, for financial and personal gain.
They have made the whole election process a joke, and stalled the legislation process. If Albany cannot do anything about this fiasco, then the voters should. They should call for a referendum limiting the State elected officials to two terms. One that cannot be overruled.

it's just plain old politics
Of course, I'm for term limets also. That's the only way to get rid of these bad apples. They can always convince the voters in their district to vote for them by promising them funding. We're fed up. Term limits is the only way
