Can you spell tone deaf? H-I-L-L-A-R-Y. Hillary Clinton: We Were 'Dead Broke' Upon Leaving WH

[MADem]

292. Perception....

Yes, GOP politicians recovered the vast majority of their legal fees (Reagan, guilty as sin, Iran Contra--see the article) yet the Clintons got effed over. Their fees were in the neighborhood of five million, IIRC.

They also had houses to purchases and household expenses to pay--the taxes, electric, heat, etc. don't pay themselves. Bill Clinton took forever to write his book and he didn't ink his deal straightaway. His autobiography came out, what, four years later? It took him forever to write it--the press made fun of him learning to use a Blackberry/cell phone and stumbling around the NY house while struggling to write the book....and then his dog got hit and killed by a teenager driving too fast. They had "fun" with that, too.

The nail that sticks up gets hammered down, but the piling on when it comes to those folks is just OTT. And some of the worst of it I see here. It's like the surplus and the minimum wage hike and EITC and all the things WJC did for working families never happened, and we're "better off" now with the deficit that Bush ran up to the moon and Obama is trying to beat back down, no more peace and prosperity, Obama struggling to end Bush's wars of choice, etc. and I still have to come here and listen to the "they're all the same" memes.

They're not all the same. Any Democrat is better than ANY Republican--and I am just amazed at people who don't 'get' that.
