It's a shame to see your posts on Hillary come so late when most of the readers have moved on.
There's a big difference between those who were "present" for the Clinton years and those who weren't. It was something to see what they had to go through, given what they tried to accomplish. She has more credibility on heath care than anybody else times ten. It was a daunting initiative at the time and the best she gets for it from the new kids on the block is that it failed--and of course that is almost all one hears in the media.
It is also worth noting that during those years the US stayed out of war--and when we did go to war the cause was just. That says more than a thousand promises in my book.
It's been a rotten deal. Let's face it. It wasn't her fault either that her husband had a problem that has now been laid on her doorstep by the moralists who care more what their preachers say than whether they live or die because they have health coverage.
The poor suckers don't know it's okay to put their own interests first. The ridicule she's received from the new generation doesn't say much about them either. They're smart but many don't know shit and make no bones about taking her to task for it.
And worse than that, worse than all of it, is that she's been left in the lurch by many of the same women who had to go through the same thing, and now are using her as their scapegoat for what went wrong in their so-called "revolution."
It begs a lot of questions Deeper Truth, but knowing there are a few who get it is some consolation.
