She was a legal adult of 19. Compare and contrast. If it makes one candidate look better than another should we not do it? Isn't that the whole point of this primary process? Really. Every time we bring up an issue that Sec. Clinton was on the wrong side of and later "evolved" (or not as in with welfare "reform&quot it's "Hillary bashing". There are real differences between these two candidates and they should be the focal point of our discussions. I would agree that personal attacks are counter productive. Sec. Clinton has done positive things for people and continues to. I personally don't agree with her past actions or many of her present positions or more accurately, lack of position. Doesn't make her a bad person just makes her not my choice for President. That's not an attack, it's a decision based on past performance.
