5. GOP projectionism at its finest...

Mar 2018

I am ashamed of my 1998 self...at that time I rolled my eyes and thought "yeah, riiiiiiiiiiight Hillary....a vast, right wing conspiracy.....lay off the glue sniffing honey...."

I was never more wrong in my life and it is to my eternal shame. By 2000, I had come around to reading the platforms of the 2 parties before the presidential and congressional elections and I have never once voted Republican for anything at any level since...but I was skeptical of Hillary's claims then and I am embarrassed about it now.

I am sorry Hillary. I was naive and cynical at a time when I should have been more inquisitive. You were right then, you were right in 2016 and you are right today.
