@Lis_Smith STATEMENT: @HillaryClinton, put forward a plan or stop criticizing fellow Ds for fighting for FAMILY Act



Martin O'Malley ‏@MartinOMalley
@HillaryClinton is right: I do support paid family leave. She should tell the American people how she'd actually pay for it.

1. Ponies and gum drops.

What next? Health care? Free education? Environmental clean up? Sheesh, get real! None of this will pass our divided Congress and besides, he's as unelectable as Sen Sanders!

3rd Way or No Way! Now back to work proles!!!

Did you actually read the OP before responding?

4. Baloney. O'Malley is using RW propaganda in hopes that no one pays attention

to facts: Despite facts to the contrary, keep saying the lie.

How Hillary Clinton’s Paid Family And Medical Leave Policy Would Have Helped These Iowans

"The United States loves to view itself as a world leader and pioneer in human rights issues. In reality, we are one of only three countries that do not provide some type of paid maternity leave, an issue that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has made a centerpiece of her campaign. She released a video on Mother’s Day that calls for guaranteed paid family leave, and she has since addressed the issue with enthusiasm. “Women who want to work should be able to do so without worrying everyday about how they’re going to take care of their child or what will happen if a family member gets sick,” Clinton said July 17 at the Hall of Fame Dinner in Cedar Rapids, just one of many Iowa events that saw her promoting paid family leave."

He has gone full negative and looks a bit frantic.

...Hillary has also 'gone negative' in this campaign.

I haven't had one thought of defining that as 'frantic.'

On the other hand, your slam of O'Malley looks a bit anxious.

6. I am "slamming" no one

I am curious why you attack the poster rather than the topic of conversation? Interesting tactic.

7. I took the rw slam personally. It didn't appear to invite substantive debate

Did you miss that the O'Malley campaign is responding to Hillary's attack on the governor's position?

[Evergreen Emerald]

8. I see.

It is definitely ugly here in DU land. And I understand why everyone takes things personally and the first response is to attack.

9. I have high regard for you, and your candidate, as well

...these pols make these broad charges, claims, and accusations and we're left to pick up the pieces.

Sorry if my comment that, "your slam of O'Malley looks a bit anxious" found offense with you. I really meant it in the mildest of terms, almost tongue-in-cheek.

Thank you for posting your rebuttal to O'Malley's remarks (sans, of course, the rw stuff).

11. Baloney is attacking before reading the OP.

O'Malley doesn't say Clinton does not support paid family leave. He's asking Clinton to actually release her plan to pay for it, since Team Clinton is attacking O'Malley for having a plan that actually pays for it.

Your article does not include how Clinton plans to pay for it.
