30. Yes, precisely. Though I don't hold anything against either politician.

I think people who look back to the sixties to find fault with people have problems.

I think a politician who sees the light--even if it takes them until they're in their forties--should be commended for getting the spirit, even if it took awhile.

I just don't understand why people shit on Clinton for views she had as a consequence of parental influence that she held when she was too young to vote. These people either forget--or are too damn young to know their history--that the voting age was TWENTY ONE up until 1971. By the time HRC hit that age, she was "clean for Gene."

It makes me wonder where their heads are, frankly. If I have to really think on it, though--I know. Not DU's finest hour, as I say!

Well done, and thank you for helping to get her elected! Agschmid Apr 2015 #43

GREAT shot!!! nt MADem Apr 2015 #67

She was a registered as independent until 1991 and then registered as a Republican and switched to Luminous Animal Apr 2015 #28

Yeah, so you say... but she liked the GOP because she preferred their positions on markets. MADem Apr 2015 #41

There are none so blind as those who will not see. You're not looking very hard. MADem Apr 2015 #70

It would be even nicer if people who call them Democrats stopped using gender as an excuse for sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #77

See post #4. Major Hogwash Apr 2015 #79

Amazing. Victimhood, it is an excuse to distract when legitimate questions on policies cannot be sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #81

But, it's not amazing, it's DU-speak, totally normal, absolutely accepted, language at this forum. Major Hogwash Apr 2015 #82

It's not accepted, I can assure of that. Don't take people ignoring that nonsense as a sign that sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #83

Your sincerety is noted. misterhighwasted Apr 2015 #34

She was working for people like John Lindsay, who was more liberal than the majority of Dems today. pnwmom Apr 2015 #84

The right hates Hillary. The fringe left hates Hillary... SidDithers Apr 2015 #7

I think you're getting a big "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!" on that score! MADem Apr 2015 #18

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't one supporting and organizing... DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #23

Yes, precisely. Though I don't hold anything against either politician. MADem Apr 2015 #30

Warren was registered as an independent until 1991. That was the year she registered as Luminous Animal Apr 2015 #31

That's not what she said. But hey, keep telling yourself that it was "just" five years. nt MADem Apr 2015 #44

�. Luminous Animal Apr 2015 #47

She also says "I was a Republican" over and over again. Check your context of those words. MADem Apr 2015 #59

Hmm. hmm. So, what was she before she registered as a Republican in 1991? Luminous Animal Apr 2015 #63

Uh, she was living in PA during those years. Before that, she lived in TX and NJ. MADem Apr 2015 #68

So you are guessing. Excellent. Your usual "authoritative" blathering. Luminous Animal Apr 2015 #72

No, I'm looking at her "I was a Republican" comments in context. MADem Apr 2015 #74

I didn't make anything up. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #56

She was a registered republican from 91-96 So, who did she vote for when Reagan was running? Pal. Luminous Animal Apr 2015 #57

When... Luminous Animal Apr 2015 #73

Where are you getting these assertions? MADem Apr 2015 #71

From 1991 to 1996. Prior to 1991, she registered as an independent. Luminous Animal Apr 2015 #32
