Hillary whitewash
Gee, Joan, those sure are some pretty rose-colored glasses you are wearing. Hillary came off great in the eyes of her supporters? I thought she looked angry (they are trying to take away her rightful place in history is my take) and was taking cheap shots. These people who think she is being "painted" as a member of the establishment and is "different" simply because of her plumbing are both delusional and hypocritical. I, too, would like to see a woman president but don't want someone whose very political existence is due to caving to special interests ever since Bill came over to the side of Tyson and Sam Walton back in Arkansas. 35 years of fighting them? Such as when she sat on the board of Wal-Mart while they screwed workers on everything from health care to ages to sexual harassment? Or by taking more money from Big Pharma than any other candidate? Or by having a "special" relationship with Rupert Murdoch and a big-time union buster as her top adviser? We don't need to "deal' with these people or ask them nicely if they will accept a smaller piece of the pie, we need to roll back the hogishness that is ruining our country. They were booing Edwards? He was the only passionate one up there. They applauded her for saying she "embodies change?" Everyone else was rightly laughing at that statement.
