So, it's the "not as bad" excuse? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #10

Noooo. premium Mar 2013 #12

Did you apply that same thought when Bush was president? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #18

No, I voted against him and protested his policies. premium Mar 2013 #24

I think that politicians should be held accountable for what they say and do. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #26

And if she doesn't represent her constituents like they want her too, premium Mar 2013 #32

For North Dakota, Heitkamp IS a progressive. RC Mar 2013 #6

Right, let's replace people who actually represent their constituents with people *we* like. X_Digger Mar 2013 #7

Did any "outsiders" tell them to vote for Obama? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #17

I'm quite sure that outsiders told them to vote for President Obama, premium Mar 2013 #20

So, she shouldn't be held accountable while in office? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #21

Held accountable for what? premium Mar 2013 #28

I get the concept. What I don't get is why Democrats wouild vote for some who backs Republican Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #30

Because not every Democrat is marching in lock step with the Party. premium Mar 2013 #34

Well, I'm in agreement with the Dems in ND who are anti-gun. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #48

They voted for Bush & Romney too. So, congratulate them for their choices? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #16

Well, I certainly don't expect to dictate their choices for them. X_Digger Mar 2013 #25

Are we allowed to criticize their choices and hold them accountable Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #27

Are you an ND resident? Then no, you don't have a say in the matter. X_Digger Mar 2013 #29

Does that go people like Bachmann and Boehner? I'm not a resident of their states either. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #31

Absolutely. That's what it means to have a representative democracy. X_Digger Mar 2013 #33

So, the likes of Boehner and Bachmann should get a pass from the rest of the courntry? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2013 #37

If the people of their district feel that the pols represent them, then I won't gainsay their choice X_Digger Mar 2013 #44
