Hillary Clinton and the Progressive Pursuit of Perfection

39. It's not a case of "will look foolish"--they've already done it and they continue to do it.

They delight in so doing. I won't do the googling for you, but it's easy pickings, that kind of stuff, if you want to find it.

And look, I worked very hard to help get EW elected, but some dogs just don't hunt. Looking for any native ancestry in her lineage is one of those non-hunting pooches. If there was, indeed, a DNA test done, you'd think that those results would have been released if they were exculpatory. But they weren't, and the story has shifted to "That is what I was told as a child."

And that's fine. I don't care. William Henry Harrison campaigned on being born in a log cabin, when in actual fact he was born in a mansion. Chester Arthur may not have been born in Vermont, he probably wasn't born in the USA, but instead, over the border in Canada. Of course, he was just an infant, how would he know for sure? Politicians lie all the time. So do their families. Unless they're lying us into wars or lying about what they're spending the taxpayer's money on, I don't really give a shit if they pad their resumes or family histories. It's just not important in the big scheme of things. If HRC was scared shitless landing in a sketchy area where fighting had been going on, and she remembered it as scarier than it actually was, so - effing - what. It's nothing to make a person "unforgiven" and if that's all it takes, anyone feeling that way wasn't going to vote for HRC anyway.

I don't care if Elizabeth Warren was related to Snidley Evilmonger The Worst Slave Driver Who Ever Lived. I don't care if her ancestors include General Custer or if we learn Ronald Reagan is her second cousin. I like her as my Senator, and if she runs for reelection at the end of her term, I will vote for her again. But I'd bet against her having any native American blood of substance (i.e. greater than a percentage of a single percent). I just would.
