White House Staff Dishes on Clintons: Hillary Hit Bill With a Book, Crooks Had Open Door

[sabrina 1]

41. Thank you for your thoughtful post. I no longer look at politicians in a personal way. I don't

really care whether I like them on a personal level or not. I was a devoted Clinton (President) supporter and fought for years against his detractors. I didn't and still don't care about his personal life. What I was blind to at that time, were his policies. It amazes me now when I look back that I was unaware, or made excuses for, many of the things he did while President. Even to the point of vehemently denying FACTS when presented with them.

Now, I realize that liking or not liking a politician is irrelevant. I can like a politician and hate their policies and vice versa.

Wrt to Hillary, I am so disappointed in her. I met her when she was first lady and had a chance to thank her for the work she and her husband were doing to bring peace to the North of Ireland. They definitely deserve credit for that.

However since then she has shocked me at times with her hawkish views on Foreign policy. So for that reason alone I cannot support her.

However I do not like articles like this. They have zero to do with policy and have zero affect on my views of her as a potential presidential candidate.

She may have reasons for her positions on FP but they are far too much in line with everything we opposed during the Bush years.

Regarding Snowden, I feel the same way, and thank you for focusing on what he has revealed rather than on him as a person.

We know this is a tactic used to distract people, re Hillary in this OP, and Snowden. It is a diversionary tactic to distract people from focusing on what is important.

I know we have not always agreed but that doesn't bother me, everyone has a right to their opinion, and I know I have changed mine over time when I have learned things I didn't know before.

But you have always been respectful and I appreciate that. None of us know everything, and sometimes we are wrong. I am far more easily persuaded that I might be wrong, by people who are respectful and sincere, rather than by those who are not.

Thanks again for your post.
