Sheila Jackson Lee Booed For Supporting Hillary, Delegates Not Seated; Are Democratics Are Not Democratic?
2010 February 8
With everything we’ve witnessed this year from voters being disenfranchised in Florida and Michigan, violent attacks by one camp on another, dirty tricks squads, racist tactics and words, and now Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee is booed in Texas. Her crime? She supports Hillary instead of Obama. Does this mean that democrats believe very little in demcracy and more in cornonations?

This whole thing just proves that the Democrats are NOT democratic and they are racist, in spite of trying to tar Republicans with that brush.
They always talk about Lyndon Johnson signing the Civil Rights Act, but it was Republicans that got the bill passed, not Democrats.
That’s not the first time Jackson Lee has been booed in Texas. She’s not a popular person in Houston ( her district) or on Capitol Hill. She’s very self serving and emits an air of self importance. Just like Hillary.
Kenneth J is an idiot. Obama didnt disenfranchise anyone…t was never his decision not to count Michigan and Florida…and 2. The only reason he didnt win Michigan is because he WASNT ON THE BALLOT!!!!!!! which is why the first primary can’t be counted. Look it up buddy. and stop falling for Hillary’s “every vote counts” bull **** to turn the voter against Barack Obama. Jesus Christ you people will fall for anything the candidates will shove down your throat.
Sheila Jackson Lee will not get my vote next time…I’m embarrassed by her actions.
Fact :4 of Hillary’s friend (1 from TX) called to inform her that they are supporting Barack, and HELLARY threatened them. Yes HELLARY herself. See the difference, your holding Barack responsible for what his passionate supporters did, when you should be holding HELLARY responsible for her bad behavior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By they way she can support HELLARY all she wants bc NEWSFLASH: Barack won TX!
AUSTIN — With more than 56% of the results tallied from today’s 284 Democratic district conventions across Texas, Senator Barack Obama currently is projected to earn a 38-29 pledged delegate win in the Texas caucuses, exactly as projected on the day after the March 4th precinct caucuses
Black supporters of Obama have threatened black supporters of Hillary. Physical threats. I suppose we have to get through the racism and sexism in America at some point. This is all happening because for the first time there is a legitimate black man and a legitimate woman running for president. It has more to do with that than it does the party itself.
The thing with MI and FL is a different story. That will be a blight on the party for a long time.
We gotta face it ppl .
The Democrat party ain’t what it use to be anymore.
The media is running the show these days.
S. Jackson booed for supporting her friend H.Clinton
Fl & Mi disenfranchised because Obama can’t have half of the votes when he didn’t even win in either state .Lots of BS
Democrats are going to lose this election in Nov to the Republicans thanks to Howard Dean and the DNC BS
Guess we need to get use to saying President McCain
Clinton 08
Whats wrong with booing her?
She is in a district that went heavily for Obama – her vote counts but obviously she is accountable to her constituents.
So she can vote for Clinton, but she’ll have a hard time winning re-election…. it seems very democratic.
Booing is bad? Its ok to show disapproval to your elected official- she works for us.
Black democrats believe in black democrats that is what this election cycle has proven. Now, I know Obama get’s some white votes as well. Imagine if Obama were white he and Clinton would be splitting the black vote. That’s being generous to Obama because the Clinton’s were extremely popular among the black community. Clinton would have won after South Carolina. The race would have been over months ago.
I bet John Faulk the Republican candidate that is going to defeat Sheila Jackson Lee in November is enjoying her perfect strom. SJL is going to lose a lot of her support regardless of who wins the Dem Presidential Nomination.
A guy has finaly come along that will be able to defeat Queen Sheila!!
THE Democrats have NOT been true domocratics for a long time… It is a sad situation when a party is named for something the candidates are NOT….
booing is in poor taste. The candidates should be allowed to speak and let their opinions known without making the event a political statement against the candidate. People should base their own opinions on what the candidates says and does and NOT be swayed by ignorant boo’ers…
