Democrat Jim Graves got within about 4,200 votes of her in 2012, and he's making noises likes he's gonna toss his hat back in the ring in '14. It's important to keep exposing her shameful rhetoric and voting record. We only need to change about 2,100 minds in the district, and the wind, these days, is at our backs.

6. Well, the bible says that a man should beat women

so at least she is consistent.

Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Exodus 21:20-21 If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

1 Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men.

Leviticus 25:44-45 Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.

voting for her even if I were a Republican. Really, what is wrong with the voters to keep someone like her in office?

12. It is my understanding that the bill was about protecting native Indian women...

who when raped are subject to tribal law ...not US law ...many rape and violent crimes go un-prosecuted on Indian reservations. Men can abduct a woman and take her to a reservation and rape her and get away with it. I believe this bill was a way to supersede tribal law when it comes to crimes against women. I may be wrong about the bill but the issue of rape on reservations is real.

18. More than likely it's because the new bill includes homosexuals

People on the religious right will vote against anything that favors homosexuals regardless how it helps anyone else. That is one group they will not bother hiding their disdain for.
