I can't tell you how disappointed...and dare I say HURT, I am over the behavior of Bill and Hillary Clinton during this Democratic race. I was one who supported them to the FULLEST during the scandals. I can't tell you how many arguments I had with friends and family members (including my spouse) about the Clinton's. I truly believed they were being persecuted, and I was very upset at the impeachment.
My husband always believed the Clinton's were opportunists and that they lacked integrity. And, while I did believe that Bill Clinton dishonored the office of the Presidency (literally and figuratively), I saved my venom for what I thought were the hypocrites in the GOP.
I have since apologized to my husband.
I can accept the toughness of a campaign and the desire to win...However....I cannot accept changing the rules in the middle of the game (cheating) or dividing your own 'family of supporters' by race, gender, income, age, geographic area, and culture...to win an election. Their motto seems to be "we will lie, cheat, or steal" to get to the White House.
Yes...I am angry and hurt! My prior rants about the Clinton's had more to do with the campaign...but, this is PERSONAL. Now, when she should be gracefully exiting the race, she continues to fuel the flames of division. And, to compare the 2000 Florida fiasco with what is going on now with the Florida and Michigan DNC delegates.....well that is beyond arrogance...it is beyond logic....and it is beyond behavior desirable in a Presidential candidate.
I see no difference between the Clinton's and the 'vast-right wing' they complained about. I will be glad when we can close the book on all-of-it.
Yes...I am angry and hurt....I put too much effort into supporting Bill Clinton....I always thought that in spite of imperfections...they were people who would do the right thing and didn't deserve the vitriol that followed them every where they went.
I was wrong.
