Holy crap!! Local right-wing rag endorses Democrat for House over 7-term Republican

I couldn't believe my eyes.

They couched it in nice terms and in some places gave her credit she didn't deserve, but reading between the lines, they say she failed her constituents. She has run the vilest campaign I have seen in 50 years following politics.

She is nothing but a corporate shill, who has never done anything for anyone other than herself.

Someone please call Hell and see if it's snowing there.

As soon as she took over for her husband, it was obvious she was not in it for anyone but herself and those who personally fund her.

We have a lot of people here of Mexican descent and a lot of Indians. And she pissed off the tribe big time.

Great news for CA. And for all of us. I couldn't imagine why her constituents would keep sending her back after all the crazy things she says and does.

at individual candidates and what they actually DO for the communities they represent. They point to individuals who are working for the people, with the opposition as the ideal, rather than endorse those who bow to the party line position in an effort to make partisan points. I wish more people looked at accountability when they made their choices, like this endorsement did.
