(7,393 posts)You take things said by others and ascribe them to people who didn't say those things. Why do you do that? Do you think people don't notice?
I, personally, think it is sexism in the extreme to ascribe Bill Clinton's policies and comments to Hillary Clinton. She is fully capable of opinions and policy stances of her own. She absolutely does differ with him on any number of issues. So I don't have a lot of patience with people that seem to think she is just some woman who is a mouthpiece for her husband.
And any student of history would know that she has spent a lifetime trying to push his policies to the left when he was governor and president. She was absolutely effective at that as well. SCHIPS, early childhood education, expansion of the earned income tax credit, etc., are good examples of that.
