21. Wasn't Clinton a Republican?

Mon Sep 1, 2014, 08:44 AM

Sep 2014

I always thought so, even though he ran with a D after his name, he was from a state who is totally conservative. You do know that many of those Dems in The South, are actually Cons in real life. Clinton was one of them. Now they want Hillary. People forget that she was a RepubliCON, when she worked for the Goldwater campaign.
There are very few real Dems left. They have all been bought off, as has the rest of our government.
