Neocon, As opposed to giving you a repub politician and getting into a "your guy is scummier than my guy" debate, and instead of a national figure and getting into a nother side tracekd debate, how about this...
Richard J Daley, Sr. A dem, a local chicago guy(local to me anyway) and a tuly bad guy, IMO. He was racist, he was corrupt, He wielded huge influence in a manner that was contrary to all except keeping him in power. He did all this while always procaliming what he did was in the best interests of chicago. A truly bad guy.
Now, back to Hillary. Much of what you wrote are attributes that are opinions of yours and not fact.(conceit, no charm, self-righteous, demented, ruthless, etc.) I am not saying that you don't have a right to feel that way. I am not saying that you are right or wrong for feeling that way. I am just saying that she has welled up some very large emotion in you and many others. IMO, large emotion that far outstrips what would be normally expected from someone with her powerful, yet also limited influence. Again, this is only my opinion.
