The M$M and Clinton choose to focus on one word

[WDIM]

Instead of the larger idea.

Our politicians are bought and paid for and should wear their sponsors on their suit.

We dont have universal health care. We have manditory private insurance. We are forced to give our money to private corporate billionaires or pay a fine they call a tax. It is corrupt and Obamacare was written by the insurance industry. Its a scam to make billionaires even richer while our level of healthcare or the cost associated with it has not improved one bit. Just the rich getting richer off our hard work while they hoard all the wealth we the people created.

And the corporate media deflect because of one poorly chosen word. Well we the people know what he meant and it is time to demand leaders that represent us not corporate billionaire thieves.

1. That's how they roll! That word is emotionally charged so they're milking it for all it's worth.

Maybe some people will be outraged, but I'm hoping most have a light bulb go off and say "oh yeah, that's really what she is" when they actually think about the meaning.

2. Corrupt politicians allowed the banks to destroy our economy. That offends me more than words...

[WDIM]

9. And then we paid them a bonus

maybe it was randsom the oligarchs said pay us or we destroy the economy.

3. Then they ought not call a woman a whore so we do not focus on being called a whore.

[WDIM]

10. "corporate whore" is common in poltical debate

you dont have to be a woman to be a "corporate whore" most of them are men.

I agree the word shouldn't of been used because it gives Clinton supporters another reason not to talk about the real issues.

11. Whore is a slap to women across the nation regardless what you put in front of it.

It cannot be gender neutral.

[WDIM]

12. Yes it can. Im a man and ive been called a whore

It is a gender neutral word especially when speaking about "corporate whores". Corporate shill would of been a better discription of Hillary. Boeing and the Saudis didnt hestitate to buy her approval of arms shipments. Her support goes to the highest bidder.

The billionaire oligarchs and their bought politicians continue to inflict bad policy and corrupt laws on the people. Mandatory insurance has done nothing but take more wealth from the many and put it in the hands of the few.

13. You can call a man a whore until the sky turns green, not even close to being the same.

4. "There's no room for language like that in our political discourse." Bernie Sanders

Dr. Song's comment was inappropriate and insensitive. There's no room for language like that in our political discourse.

I agree with Bernie (I almost always agree with Bernie.)

[Punkingal]

6. Uh huh...sure you do.

[Dem2]

7. I'll wait

I'm sure you know me better than I do.

[DanTex]

5. It was a Bernie surrogate who said that word. You want to blame that on Clinton too?

[WDIM]

8. They are deflecting from the real issue.

It was a poorly chosen word but it doesnt change the larger message and that is our elected officials are bought. and our mandatory health insurance system is a disgrace.
