(6,960 posts)I am much older than you are and I can't stand HRC. She couldn't run a decent campaign in 2008 and when she was losing, she resorted to the kitchen sink, practically endorsed McCain(!) and hung in there 'til the CA primary because in her paraphrased words ya' never know what might happen there... remember Bobby Kennedy! Other Democrats had to ask her to bow out!!!!!
She's unprincipled as shown by her IWR vote, her cover my ass speech justifying it and again, that awful 2008 primary campaign. She's DLC, 3rd Way or whatever the name du jour is, and she is just plain irritating to listen to. She would be nowhere without Bill who had the trifecta of native intelligence, charisma and oratorical skills. Remember, after Yale Law School, he went home to Arkansas while she supposedly sacrificed so many opportunities to follow him. Bullshit, she saw his rising star, latched onto it and has ridden it to where she is today. Does anybody seriously think we would ever have heard of Hillary Rodham without her 12 years as the Governor Bill's wife and 8 years as POTUS Bill's First Lady?!
She's a loser and the Clinton magic is gone now that we feel the consequences of Bill's NAFTA, Gramm-Bliley-Leach Act (which overturned Glass-Steagall) and the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Obama (some change) peopled his cabinet with Clintonistas and look what that got him and us.
So, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
