Hillary will outshine Obama regardless of what she says or how she acts.Obama is boring---and now he has resorted to aping all of Hillarys campaign speeches.He has always repeated others right along,how could anybody not see this?Our Democratic familly has had many arguements ovover the result of the primaries.Some are supporting Mccain,some Nader and my husband is writing in Hillarys name.Me---I am still looking but leaning to Mccain as my anger at the Democratic party rules that screwed this election up.Living in half-a$$ed Mi has not helped.
I agree this kind of hate-talk can lead to murder,I also thought that the hate-talk coming from Cafferty,KO,Ed Schultz,Matthews,Schuster against Hillary Clinton could have led to the same consequences.Porno language,name calling also used towards Palin and is still going on.Politics has become a msm name-calling and hate driven animal.
I attended the townhall meeting in Romulus,MI,last Thursday.It was supposed to start at 6 p.m.,so I was in line at 4:30.The room held 150 people,but there were probably over 500 standing in line by 5p.m.I am a Democrat and I wanted to hear what this plan is all about.At 5:15 the Dingell Democrats were let into the room through an outside door for all to see.No line standing for them.Afew people from our line tried get in but were told to leave but one woman did see that inside they were making signs,thanking Dingell for his plan.To make a long story short AARP was first to speak and booed,then a disabled woman accused us of not wanting her to have health care(sigh).From then on it was a mess,people told to shut up,and men in womens faces calling them idiots.The Dingell Democrats were just as guilty shoving their signs in peoples faces and screaming at the rest of the people.While standing in line spoke to many Democrats and Independents.When we left for the second meeting there were probably 800 people waiting to get in.People are not for this healthcare plan and beating them up will not change their minds.Democrats are losing many party members--me for one.
