I voted for Bill twice. I thought he was a scumbag for lying under oath. All the legalisms about "is is" were just too much. I didn't think a blow job was worth an investigation, but since he knew his opponents were already all over him about this sort of thing, why didn't he exercise some impulse control? or if not, say it's no one's business? or tell the truth and then ask the republicans about their extra-curricular activities?
Hillary was the only democrat going into this campaign that I did not want to have to vote for. When she was the assumed nominee early on, I just quit watching the news and resigned myself to holding my nose and voting for her and feeling sick that the democratic party couldn't offer anything other than yet another corporate toady.
Bill Clinton governed as a republican. it was the climate of the time and it was politically expedient. he put more ppl into jail b/c of mj use than prior presidents... to prove how tough he was on a victimless crime, I suppose. He put the strictest embargos on Cuba it had ever faced. Nafta, cafta, playing to the racists with welfare reform.
As of March, when Clinton put herself and McCain as they only two qualified candidates, I said at that time that I would never vote for her. And I won't.
I now detest her. She earned it, if you ask me. What she did had NEVER been done by any democrat before. It's still unbelievable to me. She makes me sick b/c she claims to be the "feminist" candidate, yet she got into office on her husband's coat tails. Then other women are supposedly "duped" because we don't support her?
She is politically calculating (the IWR) because she wants power. She doesn't act out of conviction. Honestly. I don't know of one thing she actually cares about. She fakes this southern-ish accent.. that drives me crazy since I'm from the south. She sounds like a bad version of Hee-Haw, ya'll.
She, too, will govern as a conservative democrat, and frankly, I am sick of conservative democrats.
Those are my honest opinions. I wasn't an Obama supporter until Feb. or so. Since then, I have phone banked, volunteered and given money to his campaign. So I'm not just a "keyboard commando."
My two sons can vote for the first time this year. They both voted for Obama. They aren't thrilled with Clinton either. When my kids were in elementary school, their teachers had to deal with the constant talk about a president who was getting impeached b/c he lied about a blow job. I can remember those conversations with them and their friends when I tried to explain the subtleties of cheating on your wife by getting a blow job from a girl near the age of his daughter and yet he wasn't a bad president.
Get it now? Understand why I don't like them? It has nothing to do with an orchestrated campaign. It has to do with a history of dealing with them. I wish they would GO HOME. I don't expect them to work for Obama since that's also not their style... sore losers and all. But at least they can stop trying to undermine the democratic candidate.
