In reply to the discussion: who in the hell is Ruth Marcus from the Washington Post who thinks she can judge [View all]hfojvt
(37,573 posts)16. I also tend to judge liars and cheaters
Although I understand some lying. I mean who wants to stand up there and admit "I did this bad thing"? Something like "yes, I broke the window".
I also have to admit that it's hard for me to judge a cheater. I mean, how do I know that I would not do the same thing - IF - I had the opportunity?
Still, I don't like it, because I would NOT want somebody to do that to me.
I've never been much of a fan of Clinton, although I have liked some of his convention speeches.
But I have disliked a lot of his policies and a lot of his rhetoric. From Nafta, to welfare reform to tax cuts for the rich, to the repeal of Glass Stegall, and so on.
In a personal sense, his "boom economy" never lifted me up.

That debt didn't come from the Clinton era. It was from the profligate Rethugs before him. n/t

That is not what she said, and Bill is not going to be a "surrogate." Many spouses....
