No, you couldn't say that. Republicans blamed themselves for losing in 2012. They held meetings on why and how their strategy went wrong.

Your response simply goes to further enforce the truth of this thread. Rather than examine the issue of this woman voting against what her constituents wanted, and then going on an irrational rant when she was recalled, you'd prefer to childishly deflect with "the right does it too!" and ignore it.

The only question is - how much was the bribe? It would have to be substantial.
Apparently Bloomberg, Vice President Bidin, and other group actually called and even went to Colorado to influence their vote. I read it on a news site, I can't recall which one, but I read that they didn't have enough votes to pass it at first, but Morse, Bidin, and Bloomberg pressured others to change their vote.

Angela Giron voted against her constituents... When she did, she sealed her own fate. It has nothing to do with anything more.. Beyond that it is just sour grapes...

This is what should happen to every single elected rep that ignores their constituents. This should have happened after the ACA was passed, after the gang of 8 passed that abortion they refer to as Immigration reform. It should happen every time they get caught lying to us and everytime they get caught blowing our tax dollars on absolute nonsense.

I believe he gave $3million.

The NRA only gave $350k to the groups that organized it.

The fact that Sen. Debbie Schultz is trotting out the tired 'voter suppression' excuse is a major league crock; voting against the wishes of your constituents is usually a very bad idea.

Yep, over the last 15 or so years the nation has become more pro gun than ever before. The issue has started to become important to the member of both major parties. The democrats who have learned this stay in office, the democrats who don't tend to not get re elected unless they are in a heavily blue state (ca, my, etc).

As more and more people leave those states, they will have less and less of a say...that or will arrest them and try them for treason...
