Without Hillary Clinton, Bill never would have won the nomination, that is a FACT
She put her ass on the line and defended their marriage on 60 Minutes with Bill in January 1992 when his campaign was collapsing. Bill owes everything to her and he knows it.

So this bullshit about Bill wants to just be president again is bullshit. The Clinton's are a team. He loves his wife and will do anything for her like she would for him just like any of the other candidates spouses.

1. I'm still waiting for the Posts that wonder why Michelle
wants to be in the White House so bad. Or Elizabeth Edwards. Don't expect to see them, of course, as the rules that apply to the Clintons don't often apply to anyone else.

7. I sincerley hope so, too
but I never thought they'd sink as low as they have with regards to Hillary. Still shocks and amazes me when people say she has ZERO experience, are then offered her resume and still contend it's all because of Bill and she has no experience.

It literally boggles the mind, ups the blood pressure and sends me screaming to the treadmill before my head explodes. One of the reasons I won't work in politics.

3. Tired of this particular Dysfunction-Junction team. "I'll turn a blind eye
to your misdeeds, if you get me into the White House when it's my turn"--ugh.

10. Different dynamic
I think Poppy Bush was aghast that the idiot son was running for president. If anyone knows what a fuckup Junior is, it's Poppy. It was kind of a rock and a hard place scenario for him. He didn't want his spawn to fail, but he didn't want that jerkoff in the White House. Hell, he didn't even want him in his own house. Why do you think they inserted Cheney into the picture, once Bush's candidacy was a certainty?

9. Fact?
I voted for Bill despite her, not because of her. Fact.

11. apes do it.
the backing of the female members of a tribe of chimps is crucial to selection of a leader. if the head female turns her back, the guy is dead.
just sayin.

13. "She put her ass on the line." Herman, you sure have an odd way to stick up for a woman.
Anyway, back to my snooze.
