1. Maybe she needs to hear from us.

I'm pretty tired of "Democrats" who blatantly disregard the will of the people (and most Americans DO support stricter gun laws).

[ProgressiveProfessor]

6. She is a pretty clear reflection of her constituents

She has no responsibility to an outside constituency.

Gun control is not a strictly party line issue.

2. Democrats from rural states

will almost always look like moderate Republicans, and even more-right than moderate on some issues (guns, for instance).

People expecting Heidi Heitkamp to think and vote like Abbie Hoffman are simply delusional.

4. Right. It's North Dakota, for chrissakes. That said, she better not be

the second coming of "Ben-Edict Arnold" Nelson.

3. In case you hate Huffpo as much as I do, Link to original article:

All Huffington does is take credit for other stories and derive profit from page views.

It takes FOREVER to load, too, as it adds more and more unwanted content just to make more profit when we go there.

Fuck that.

5. She's also a loudly vocal advocate

of the Alberta Tar Sands and the Keystone XL pipeline... She's not your average D nor is she in league with the general D concepts.
