Your OP was seemingly saying that the email came from that organization. moriah Nov 2017 #29
Well, I responded immediately to those who asked. yardwork Nov 2017 #34
And that's appreciated, and it seems most get that now. moriah Nov 2017 #38
Actually, you're deflecting from the question, Hortensis Nov 2017 #41
No, because the OP casts suspicion on an entire group jberryhill Nov 2017 #61
Jberry, "Our Revolution" is a formal organization Hortensis Nov 2017 #74
Did you just hear a giant whooshing noise? jberryhill Nov 2017 #79
Deflecting back to the OP is reasonable. Hortensis Nov 2017 #86

How can an OP asking a question be "misleading"? Can you elaborate? George II Nov 2017 #45
I believe people felt it was misleading... moriah Nov 2017 #68
I dunno ask all the people piling on to "Our Revolution" for something it seems they didn't do. Voltaire2 Nov 2017 #81
You're the one who originally called it misleading, now you say "I dunno"? George II Nov 2017 #101
Ate you having a problem finding all the posts attacking Our Revolution for something the didn't do? Voltaire2 Nov 2017 #104
Two separate issues: the "attacks" on Our Revolution and you calling the OP misleading. George II Nov 2017 #118
No we will not replace Franken and give the GOP what they want. It will never end...this is Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #159

Are you counting Melanie Morgan as the 5th woman? She's another exaggerator. Demit Nov 2017 #149
He took hundreds of pictures...so I don't see a denail would work. Too bad some fall for dirty Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #153
Like this one: yardwork Nov 2017 #70
There is no need for him to step down at this point- but he should consider not running again Lee-Lee Nov 2017 #26
No, you don't cave to bullies...the GOP doesn't get to choose our candidates period. Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #161
Of corse they dont get to choose Lee-Lee Nov 2017 #172
We have a better chance with Franken if we support him...and could lose many seats as the GOP ramp Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #239

Perhaps my distance from even knowing who you're talking about.. moriah Nov 2017 #43
What? Maybe you should google Our Revolution before you accuse people of trolling. yardwork Nov 2017 #48
