People dont want to debate the issue. so they slam somebody and suggest base motives. I remember in another debate when some Republicans disagreed with me. they tagged me as being antiCatholic and antiItalian. I thought of the slurs my Italian grandparents faced when they immigrated to this country. and what my mother faced as a young girl because she spoke a language different than others were used to. But I also think of the pride my Italian relatives felt. here in the United States and in my grandparents home in Italy. when I became a Member of the Senate. I dont feel I have to prove my bona fides for any of my heritage.
