(84,711 posts)One thing we should have learned about the Repugs ,Corporatists, RW Repug and MIC fanatics.... Always look carefully when they make a huge fuss about something. There's always something different going on that they are trying to cover up. We are often pointed in the opposite direction by the Mainstream Corporate Media than where we should be looking for the real information.
And many of us Dems got so caught up in defending Clinton because the RW'ers were so crazy and agressive in going after both Clintons that we weren't really noticing what was going on behind the scenes. We got NAFTA at the beginning but it was followed with Vince Foster and wild stories about Hillary...then in second term crazy Newt along with "Monica Gate Witch Hunt" and then we got the "Welfare Reform Act, Commodities Futures Reform Act and repeal of Glass-Steagall.
I've never understood how the Clintons put up with all of that plus the Starr Investigation and seem to have not had it make them work harder to push reforms. Instead they've both done very well and not suffered psychic damage from any of it.
