2. I guess she's tired of being called a "handkerchief head"
by Obama supporters.

If the shoe fits...........

27. It's not very helpful to turn on the people who have been doing the hard work
day in and day out. That was one of the points she made in her speech.

You obviously don't know the quality of this woman. Did you ever watch her speak in the house?

Take your idiocy elsewhere.

32. Look lady! I had great respect for Congresswoman Lee.
I grew fond of her during the impeachment debacle; however, just because I disagree with her doesn't mean I cannot have an opinion.

You my dear can take YOUR idiocy elsewhere.

I'm not going anywhere unless they close this thread. Since they aren't doing so, get used to me.

15. She just finished. Awesome speech. Talked about the real issues
facing blacks. She spoke of Hillary's long commitment to those issues. She spoke of the young blacks in the congressional black caucus being groomed for leadership.

She does not mince words; always so powerful.

She should be our president.

She's against mandatory minimums, yet she SUPPORTS Hillary.

I weep for this country.

37. Sheila Jackson Lee is a treasure. No matter who anyone supports, she deserves our love and respect.
Period.

What she said about either supporters lifting their candidate UP, not tearing each other down, should be heeded by those on both sides...

WE should all be listening very, very closely to that.
