John,
Okay, but that isn't really enough to raise the intense ire that most have of her. (In my opinion that is)
<< The futures trading revelation following on all the pompous statements from her and her husband about the decade of greed, etc is a good example.>>
Well, a culture based on greed is certainly bad(again IMO) and I have no problem with anyone saying that. I don't remember the details on the futures scandal, but I don't seem to remember her breaking any laws.(I could certainly be wrong)
<< That and saying she had no idea that her husband was really getting it from Monica before that Sunday when he allegedly told her.>>
Well, commments from her regarding her personal life are little reason to hate her. Not respect her, yes, but hate her, I don;t think so. It would be hard for anyone to admit in public that their spouse has a hard time keeping it in their pants.
<< I also find a lot of her writings on "children's rights" and
marriage to be very offensive. >> As is your right too, but again, little reason to detest her as a politician.
<<Finally, its just that sense she seems to exude that she is better than the rest of us which really bothers me the most. >>Again, that is totally your right(Pat Buchanan's smugness does the same to me) but it is little reason to hate her as a politician.
I am not going to try and change your mind about Hillary. It would be wasting both of our time. However, if yo look at your reasons, I understand why, from your point of view, you dislike her politics. If you add up all of the above reasons, there have been many politicians who have been convicted of much worse, have done more actual harm and raised less ire from the opposing party. I guess i just wonder why, I'm not making a judgement call, just wondering why....
