I am proud that our International President is on the case rebuking such divisive and silly comments (although we are not a partisan org and do not endorse any candidate).
I will be so glad when this campaign is over. Hillary and her cronies are getting so dirty that it's just becoming unbearable. Just stick to the issues and stop making stupid and offensive comments Hillary and Co.
Meanwhile, the middle income report? came out today and, for you John McCain fans, Barack and Hillary received As for their voting record helping the middle class but John - well he just received an INCOMPLETE b/c he did not even vote enough on these matters to be graded! Hmph, I guess he didn't think that the issues were important. That's telling.
The middle class MUST take a stand with this election or else, I fear that the unemployment rate will continue to go up and the crime along with it. It is getting really bad out here. In my community, which is upscale, we are having burglaries and auto thefts left and right - in the middle of the day. People are hungry and are NOT going to starve. And now I have to go down to the police station and get that background check for the firearm license - the license that I never wanted. But they are coming into people's houses - while they are there!
We have to make a change in November b/c it is getting bad out here you guys! Please vote for SOMEBODY that is really going to do something about unemployment, who is going to bring jobs back to the U.S., etc.
Take a stand in November!
ETA: To those voting Republican, why? Are you happy with the state of the country? Is this just a bad time and you believe that another Republican will do better than GW? Is trickle down theory going to finally work?

I think Ferraro's comments reflect the frustration of the Clinton campaign. They never planned to be in a primary fight this late in the season -- and their "strategy" of late seems to show this.
These kinds of remarks are typical of campaign minions and lower level functionaries, however, ...they do the "dirty work," of allegation and innuendo, hoping it will sway the simple-minded to their cause. I think in the longer term, HRC will be hurt (in the eyes of the superdelegates) by not making a more forceful denunciation of Ferraro's remarks than she's done to date.
I'm curious to see how the DNC will repair this delegate fight with Michigan/Florida. ...politically, it would seem they'd split the delegates down the middle and save the DNC or the states the $30 million it would cost for the do-over.
