(5,082 posts)She was President of the College Republicans and in 1968 at the age of 21 she attended the Republican Convention in support of her hero Rockefeller. Yes she became estranged due to Nixon attacking Rocky but it was still elitist all the way. I do not believe Elizabeth Warren had that elitism when she was a Republican. The Rodhams were elitist high society conservatives. Yes she changed when dating Bill Clinton but one must remember that in 1972-1978 conservativism was almost dead, the military was ostracized and hippies went mainstream. She and Bill knew to be on a winning team;you don't become a Republican in those days. In either case people can change I agree but know them by their actions and not their words. If you do it's obvious Hillary never really changed much. Anyone who voted for the Iraq War is not only a total sell out but a disingenuous liar to claim they didn't know what war meant or what they were doing. Maybe a 17 year old could claim that. And yes that goes for ANY Democrat. It was painfully obvious what lying and evil was occurring even to a dimwit. And that the Bush Family and Cheney were involved makes it more obvious. But then again Hillary is called an honorary Bush Family member by the Bushes and doesn't deny her suspicious and insipid connection to them. Sure helped with prosecutions not happening in 1993 and it's obvious Bill was the one chosen to be "allowed" to run against Bush for his previous loyalty as a bulwark in case Perot tried to monkey wrench the nomination. As we all know Bush lost but Clinton never got a majority only because Perot knew of Bush Sr's corruption and CIA cocaine running. It's been shown in numerous documents too that the Iraq War was decided on before 911 happened and the Patriot Act too was already written. You think Hillary didn't know this??? Her husband tried to get many provisions of the Patriot Act passed a few years earlier but couldn't because low level House Republicans not in on the high level cooperation opposed anything just because Clinton wanted it like some asshat Repubs do now. But make no mistake...they are perceived as idiot fools not in on the action and unaware of the scam.
