I just couldn't understand why he felt he needed him to win the election and couldn't just stand on his own platform and trust that it was enough to get him elected. Now If I had been flooded with commercials for Sylvester with SJL in them I probably would have been pushed more towards Bill since I don't like her but I didn't even see her until his victory speech. Her endorsement of him would have been enough to sour me to him but he was lucky enough for me not to have seen any ads featuring her.

I hate how she has to be front and center in everything. She finds so many opportunities to jump in front of a camera and make it all about her. I've actually had the pleasure of seeing her speak in person and she did a great job giving a very passionate speech at a very important event but sadly she injected herself and her accomplishments into the speech way too much for my liking instead of making the majority of the speech about the people we were all there for. I'm a democrat so I'm sure I share several of her values but they way she puts herself out there is just not the style I like. She just needs to tone it down when the cameras are around. That way I can pay attention to what she has to say instead of laughing at how needy she appears for camera time.

With that said she is obviously very popular with her district and must be doing a good job for them to keep reelecting her so I wish her no ill will. I just don't have a current good impression of her and her endorsement carries no positive influence on me.

She makes the most outlandish, idiotic statements.
She is actually believes harsher gun laws will stop the criminals in her very own district from committing violent crimes.
She treats employees like dirt.
She throws her congressional status around to bully and intimidate people.
She knows less about US History than elementary school kids.
She is plays the race card at every chance she get.

That's a good list to start.

(skipping the first one, because how can one debate a statement so vague)
1. Statistics support her beliefs on gun laws. You may not like that, but those are facts.
2. Possible-- but can you back that up?
3. Every male politician from this state does the same thing, as far as I've seen.
4. Based on what?
5. She is black. Being black, and pointing out racial disparity, is not "playing a card."

As our country's foremost poet, sage, and voice of the people would say, "haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate hate."

So dislike SJL for no real substance or political reason other than party platform.

Sheila Jackson Lee is quite possibly the biggest moron to ever grace Washington DC, she's a **** poor representative of our state and she's constantly looking for ways to race bait ever situation she can jam her fat ass into. Simply put, she's a fukin' moron and most of her supporters are too.

I dislike her because if it weren't for gerrymandering she'd be lucky to be a night shift manager of a Whataburger. She's ignorant, period.

Absolute embarrassment to this city.

Trash like that is why they should put in limits so idiots like that can't stay forever.
