(934 posts)and if you meant "no text", I'm sorry that I misinterpreted. I meant no offense, and I'm sorry I preemptively put you into the "people who make me sick" category.
It was the "USA, USA" Republicans who kicked first responders to the curb after all the faux patriotism died down. They make me sick.
Hillary didn't get the UFA (FDNY union) endorsement the first time she ran because of all the negative stories about her. (My husband was a union delegate.) The UFA wound up not endorsing anyone for senate in 2000.
When Hillary ran for reelection, it was a different story in NY. She had worked hard for all her constituents. I can understand disliking her, disagreeing with her, and preferring her opponent, but I don't get the demonization. I find it grossly unfair.
We live in a pretty Republican area (Long Island), and my husband wears a Hillary button everywhere he goes. I know he's itching for a fight, and I pity the person who takes him on.
