The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.
Kendra Horn, OK-5, just signed her willingness to accept a single term in the House.

I didn't get that at first.
Not from Oklahoma, so no horse in the race, but if what she was quoted as saying in the article are true belief's (about Constitution and Duty) then I would tend to support her decision as being non-partisan, even though I don't agree.
Activities like the ones mentioned in the last sentences of the article:
She’s been the focus of high dollar, dark money ad campaigns which have been calling on voters to urge Horn to vote against the articles of impeachment. Two out of state groups, America Action Network and America First Policies, have paid for more than $500,000 beginning last month.
Are too prevalent on either side and the main reason I've always thought the Citizens United decision was BS. I don't want elections bought by the elites, and if corporations are people, why hasn't Texas executed one yet?

She basically won because the GOP incumbent phoned it in during the election and didn't even campaign. I'll give her all the credit in the world for beating the pavement and getting people out to vote for her. She had the chance to be bipartisan, but failed as soon as she got into lockstep with Pelosi. Her comments are straight at Trump and ignore everything shady from the DNC side in the House.
She sits in a deep red district where such things won't be taken lightly. At the very minimum, she could have voted "present" and not taken a stand either way. This pretty much gives her opponents as much ammo as they need to unseat her next election.

What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
Yep. Got that, pretty sure she knew that, reason I said if what she was quoted as saying in the article are true belief's (about Constitution and Duty) then I would tend to support her decision as being non-partisan, even though I don't agree because she'll be a one term wonder.

Regardless of what she said, she has set herself up for failure.
If she votes for the impeachment, she's dead politically and should start polishing up the resume right now.
If she switches her vote at the last minute, she's now weak and doesn't stand on her promises and the voters will turn against her.
Better to be quiet on such a thing and let it go. Again, voting present means she's not supporting either side and let's the Senate decide as it should be.
