8. Lost Respect for Bill

Wed May 7, 2014, 11:02 AM

May 2014

Campaigned for him in '92 and voted for him twice....but lost a lot of respect for him because of this.

My main issue is that - how can you trust a person that is willing to lie to his family about the most sacred of promises?

Now....some apologists may say 'You do not know, they may have had an open arrangement' - OK, let's say they did....in that case, How can you trust someone in power that would throw someone with no power under the bus to save their own hide?

I will campaign and vote for Hillary (assuming she runs\is nominated) but only because of her actions in the last 16 years.

I still have little faith in Bill...
