and Hillary Clinton's association with "The Family." Now I'm going to have to re-read the article in the light of everything that has happened in the eight years since it was written.

Re "Mrs Clinton also had glowing words about Mr. Coe in her own autobiography. This is not an attack. This is a fact. One that exploded in 2008. And if she should decide to run for office, that is a fact that people need to take into account. Dominionism is about power, not necessarily religion."

I have already decided I will not vote for Hillary Clinton even if she's the Democratic candidate, because of her Wall Street ties and her vote for the IWR among other things--basically because she epitomizes the Third Way. These Dominionist associations make her that much more toxic as far as I'm concerned.

It seems I've got a little re-reading and catch-up reading to do myself.
