Why I Love Rosie O.

I was saddened to hear that I would no longer see Rosie on The View. I have to admit it was refreshing to hear someone actually challenge the media coverage, and the policies surrounding the Iraq war. I know that she was going to leave the show at the end of next month but I had looked forward to seeing her until that time. It saddens me that she has been so criticized by the media and how so many of her comments and opinions have been taken out of context and twisted to justify the viscious name calling and character assasination she has endured since joining The View. I had not watched The View in several years until Rosie joined the panel. She made the show interesting and seemed to be the only person willing and able to shut Elizabeth up, or at least stop the constant flow of Bush propaganda. She made the show intellectual and thought provoking something I have not seen since Elizabeth joined the show. I hate to hear people say that Rosie is angry and out of control. Why? Could it be because she is simply not accepting the spoonfuls of horse manure that is being served up to the American people as top shelf caviar. I am angry too! It breaks my heart to know that our soldiers are in a foreign country fighting a war of choice not necessity and NOONE is willing to stand up and say NO MORE. Well Rosie did and it made me feel like my voice was not so small or in such a minority. I wish that more of us felt one ounce of the courage the Rosie showed each and every day. If we as American's stood up and with one voice said NO, this administration would have to listen. I hope that Rosie will continue to lead charge against this administration that has lied to us, left our soldiers in hell, and not given their fallen comrades the recognition, and respect they deserve. I hope that she will continue to shed light on the fact that the care given to our returning servicemen and women, both medical and emotional is extremely lacking, and that she will never stop asking for the impeachment of a president who has done nothing but lie for the last 4 years.

LOVE YOU ROSIE! KEEP UP THE FIGHT, I WILL BE A SOLDIER IN YOUR ARMY ANYTIME!
