Hillary at twilight

Was her campaign stop in an Ohio town called Hanging Rock a metaphor -- or a symbol of dogged defiance?

    @ My Dear Madame DeFarge

    What makes you and all of Hillary's supporters think, that these issues won't come up in the fall?

    Hillary opens the door to her past, every time she uses her WH experience, as a reason to vote for her. It wasn't all sweetness and light. In fact, it seems as though most supporters of HRC have an even worse memory than I do, and I can barely remember much of anything.

    I supported the Clintons during the nineties a great personal cost. My extended family, literally imploded over Bill's impeachment. While he was under attack, I defended him to the max, but after it was all over and I began to reflect on it, and decided that I was ashamed of how I had allowed myself to defend a pretty sordid situation.

    With hindsight, I'm even more appalled, both at the scandals, and at my willingness to give a pass to Bill's behavior.

    For reasons both political and personal Madame Defarge, is so, my alter ego. Glad you approve.
