I don't really agree with the Arizona Democrats on this. Just taking my feelings about Sinema's vote off the table, I'm not sure I love the idea of parties censuring elected officials of their party for not towing the line.

I disagree with this, as well. At least they didn't go as far as Wyoming did with Cheney and kick her out of the party.
Another reason why our two-party system sucks. In order to be elected at the national level, you more or less MUST align with one of the two parties (some independents make it in by aligning with a party and then declaring independence, like Bernie). And if you don't do EVERYTHING the party wants, you get kicked to the curb. Any moderate who thinks BOTH parties have some stuff right and other stuff wrong is completely screwed.

SGT (Join to see) It happens every once in a while.
Mostly when you decide to stop being wrong. :-P
But even when we disagree we can still be civil! Which I appreciate.

The only vote that counts is her Arizona constituents, period. Maybe NPR should have talked to them instead of the ADP "Executive Board".

Too many think she is thinking of her wallet not her constituents. She spit in the face of much if the Latin vote .
