Reply #96: I said I voted for her in the late '80s, early '90s

[deutsey]

way before the frickin' Contract on America (I had moved away by then anyway). Her pro-choice position mattered to me, of course; however, I was very active in Amnesty International at the time and she actually showed up at human rights events I attended. I know, because I talked to her at these events. Say what you will, but that scored points with me, especially when not an elected Democrat that I can recall could be found at these events.

The fact the dumbass kowtowed to the right in '94 contributed to Morella ultimately losing her seat (she also supported Bush early on). Montgomery County was a liberal Democrat stronghold when I lived there. It didn't surprise me at all when I found out she lost the election a couple years ago. IMO, she deserved to lose.
