Roby is another vile Republican on the committee that got lots of attention yesterday for her stupid questions. The implication from Roby was that Hillary went home that night and did not care about her workers.

(32,342 posts)I thought she was implying someone was there, and they'd conspired on something. Or that Hillary was bedding the interns. It was demented.
Of course she'd be monitoring.

(16,104 posts)When Obama first took office, Democrat Bobby Bright won this district in Alabama. Over the next two years, Rep. Bright amassed and maintained a Top 2 worst Democratic voting record in the House. He opposed every piece of legislation proposed by Obama and the Party without fail.
I frequently emailed him asking him to throw us Democrats a bone, something to justify his support as a Democrat, and his consistent reply was that he and his district constituents were fiscal and social conservatives, and he disagreed with the Party and its more liberal direction.
Along comes Republican Martha Roby in 2010. Her entire campaign was predicated on the one single vote Bobby Bright made that she could take to the bank!
His vote for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker of the House in 2008!
Today, the significance of our abandonment of Blue Dogs and DINO's particularly in the South, the move towards ideological Party Purity, and away from hard-nosed pragmatism, is on display.
We lost the Democratic majority. We have unending investigations of our Democratic presidents and now Democratic candidates. The Democrats who gave us a majority are now replaced by this kind of Republican - Martha Roby - giving us Congressional hearings to do nothing more than destroy a Democratic candidate's support and character through innuendo and speculation.
We got rid of our little Blue Dogs and got this...
"All politics is local?" Damn straight!

(47,138 posts)Originally from So Cal. While I can remember the "good ole days" and the occasional but important benefits of having the Blue Dog coalition, I just don't see it returning until the National political divide becomes a little less divided. I am not sure what the catalyst for that will be. It is inevitable, someday though.

(41,832 posts)Same here in Oklahoma. The purists just don't get it. It's better to have someone vote with you 50% of the time instead of someone who votes with you 0%.

(55,144 posts)What else was Hillary supposed to do? I'm surprised she didn't laugh at the lunatics more.
NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)for some time, and was relieved she could finally let loose. This idiot Roby has probably been laughed at more than once before and she's sick of it! Do you hear? SICK OF IT!!
How dare Hillary laugh at her when she's trying to make a point, about how well she know's the State Dept staff's names. Or something.
Hillary talked to her as if she were a child, rather than with the sheer contempt Roby deserved. Who is this woman and why was she elected to Congress? Oh, never mind...she's a Republican from Alabama.
