I don't want Bill Clinton back in the White House.

[IdaBriggs]

He was a good President and I supported him. He was a bulwark against the crazy Republicans, but he gave them tons of ammunition with the nonsense he and then First Lady Hillary pulled. I lost track of the "gates" long before the Blue Dress debacle.

I don't want Hillary Clinton back in the White House. Switching husband for wife (or father for son) is just too much like corruption for me to stomach; while it might provide job security for their friends, I like the idea of "cleaning house" every four to eight years.

Pretending that being half of the most powerful couple on the planet DID NOT AND DOES NOT MATTER is DELUSIONAL THINKING. That a former President of the United States is ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNING FOR A SUCCESSOR who happens to be his WIFE makes me feel ill.

I did not vote for Bush Junior and this "political dynasty issue" matters to me.

The Powers in Charge of the Party need to know this unspoken issue is one that matters to me.

It is not Hillary's turn. She already had one.

I truly hope she is only running to deflect Republican attack dollars away from the real candidate, and vet him for how he handles pressure (like ended up happening with Obama).

To repeat, I do not want the Clintons back in the White House.

That is all.

1. okay

2. Yay, victim-blaming

[Wilms]

3. The Republican's blatent lies about the Clintons are awful.

It's a distraction from the ugly truths.

8. Yes, you are so right! Those that rightfully defend her mash it all together as nonsense when

in fact it is the truths that are both the most serious and the most damning.

Her blanket defenders are feeling victimized along with her. Somehow just don't see/listen to fact based reality.

4. Please clarify - who do you see as the victim here?

I really do not understand your comment?

5. Republicans despise Hillary. Most Democrats think Hillary is a liar. Who will vote for her?

Her ambition over ethics could bring us all down if she isn't stopped in this primary.

6. I don't want the Clintons anywhere near the White House

Ever again

[sahel]

7. I don't think even Hillary wants Bill back in the white house

I'm not sure exactly what the sleeping arrangements will be, but I imagine it will involve Bill spending a lot of time in Arkansas.

9. Hadn't thought about it quite that way but you are correct.

[oldandhappy]

10. Felt that strongly in 2008.

Now, less so. Bill seems to have lost a lot of energy. I am voting Bernie, but if Hillary is the nominee, I will vote for her. Her lies and negativity in January lost me for the primary.

12. I never ever liked him, but I did vote for him, and yes, he was a good President.

But he was irresponsible, he committed perjury, and he used gay people as a political football.

I never felt strongly about Hillary until she decided to run for Senator here. And even then she didn't do much that is notable.

But the more I read about her and the more I see of her, the less I like.

Ultimately, I 100% agree with you that I don't want him in the White House, and I don't want her there either.

13. Bill Clinton: The Comeback Id (Vanity Fair)

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/07/clinton200807

Old friends and longtime aides are wringing their hands over Bill Clinton’s post–White House escapades, from the dubious (and secretive) business associations to the media blowups that have bruised his wife’s campaign, to the private-jetting around with a skirt-chasing, scandal-tinged posse. Some point to Clinton’s medical traumas; others blame sheer selfishness, and the absence of anyone who can say “no.” Exploring Clintonworld, the author asks if the former president will be consumed by his own worst self.
