She would like to cash in like Sarah. There are enough stupid people to make that possible for her.

is she had to have been practicing this...and you don't just walk into that room-you have to be invited. Now do my eyes deceive me or is that the republican hump Trent Gowdy behind and to the right of her? Hmmm wonder where her invite came from?

And that might or might not be him. But I want to know who invited her because it is difficult to find someone who has had a loon kill their spouse who will oppose a gun control attempt.

How many times have you made a mistake? Would that mean you're stupid?
Everyone makes mistake, it doesn't mean they're stupid.
The only stupid I see here are the comments calling her stupid.

She will write a book, go on tour, and get a guest commentator gig on Fox News. Grifters are gunna grift.

You don't have to like conservatives but you should at least respect the fact that they are human. Do you want to be held to the same standard you're holding her to?

You just don't have to nitpick at this level to find annoying things about conservatives to post about.

There are 350 million US citizens. As a random pick she has a worse chance of making this town hall than hitting the lottery. Someone brought her there to have her say. Do you want to tell us who?

Ok, since I can't get an answer from those other 2, I'll ask you,
Have you ever misspoke? If so, would that make you stupid?
That's all I'm asking.

And it didn't make me stupid. Being used as a tool for right wingers is what made her, at least, sound stupid.

I'd be willing to bet that what she meant was that we can outlaw murder, but that's not going to prevent outlaws from committing murder. We have and it doesn't.

Nothing President Obama is proposing would ban a person from owning a firearm. It would try to close the gaps in the current system to try a keep firearms out of the hands of people who should not be able to buy them.

It is absolutely astounding the amount of push back this getting. Polling shows UBG checks with a very high approval % yet somehow in the eyes some people that is a bad thing.

I wonder why the NRA did not participate in this. Apparently they are very against anymore gun control but could not show up to a televised town hall debate to state their reason for their position.
