Is she a Dem? Did she vote for the Health Care Bill?

I read the article. Sounds like her constituents are dumb enough to return her to Washington.

Oh, come now...don't tell me you didn't fall for that "I'm a conservative! I'm a moderate!" garbage she's peddled to get elected?

She was helped greatly by Soros and other money.

My rep is a few doors down from her office. I called and asked his staffer who answered the phone if he would go down the hall and ask what the h*#$ she was doing, ignoring the Constitution. I also had a copy of the Constitution mailed to her. She ignored it.

Here’s some info from Wiki:

This district consists mainly of the area of Colorado that is part of the Great Plains region of the United States. It is largely rural, but 85% of the district’s vote is cast in only two counties—Larimer County (home to Fort Collins) and Weld County (home to Greeley).

Historically, the district has been friendly territory for Republicans, though Marilyn Musgrave only won narrowly in the 2004 and 2006 midterm elections due to her Democratic opponents’ strength in Fort Collins. Musgrave had to rely on strong performances in more conservative Greeley to hold onto her seat. In 2008, Musgrave lost re-election to Betsy Markey, the first Democrat to be elected by the 4th District since the early 1970s.

George W. Bush received 58% of the vote in this district in 2004.

They talk to us all the time. They talk when they ask for votes; they talk when they advance their own agenda; they talk back to us if we dare raise our voices. What’s more they never listen.

IT’S OUR TURN, MR. POLITICIAN. SHUP UP, SIT DOWN AND LISTEN TO US TALK!
