He has been talking about the same shit over and over... He keeps talking about "I'm fighing for the middle class, I believe in this fight, It's a lifelong goal to defend the poor." One thing this guy doesn't realize is that poor people don't like to be always reminded that they are "poor", I feel like screaming at him. Quit already - we forgive you for having a shit load of money and we forgive your $400 hair cut. With all the attempting to make us forget - he only reminds us. Move on. He's a machine, spewing the same verbal message every 15 minutes. And his motor skills need to be improved.
Some thing Hillary needs to work on - someone take those reading cards away from her. She kept looking down as she was giving her speech - I have always found that annoying, talk from the heart. People need to see that she is human.
I love Hillary. One of the biggest reasons why is that I think she would do great things for our country. Also, I must admit I like that she is a woman. My little girls are watching politics - my husband and I have always told our girls they can do/be anything in this world. Now they are actually seeing that play out in American politics. I am excited that a woman could be president in my lifetime. I am excited that she has inspired my girls. I am glad that our country would actually CHANGE if she were president. She has a record that defends every word out if her mouth!
Obama  has words, but his record reflects that he didn't vote on the issues. UM sorry, what? You said you want to make change, you have the opportunity to make change, by voting for the Bill that will actually lead to CHANGE, and instead you didn't vote? hmmm. Did anybody show this guy where his office is located when he became senator, or did he start running for president right away? And what was with his speech last night? He was steeling material from JFK and Martin Luther King. If this guy thinks he is close to either one of them he should think again.
Oprah been lyin' to ya boy. |
Nice, heartfelt post. Can't say I agree with your views on Hillary but your feelings on Edwards fit into something I wondered last night.
I listened to the Edwards' "concession" speech. He and his wife both spoke of the "hard work" he had gone through to get where he is today. They spoke on how they were taught, and continued to teach their family, that you had to work hard to get what you wanted. Nobody was going to give it to you.
Isn't it just a little insulting that his whole "two Americas" theme seems to be that hard work worked for him, but others need help? Is he an elitist that believes only CERTAIN people are able to advance themselves by hard work? Just seems he places himself on some pedestal when he thinks he did something extraordinary but he must "give" the same opportunity to others.
