I disagree with your assessment Mark. She is in the political game and her personal foibles are relevant to determining what she is likely to pursue as her agenda politically. I despise the woman because I despise all dishonest, blatant hypocrites and I find her agenda divisive and hurtful to the country and our great traditions. I think people just naturally dislike those types of people who feel they are above the laws and rules the rest of us have to live by and who know well (and are ready to legislate at the drop of a hat) how we all should live our lives although their own life is a complete hash. I think its just human nature. JLA

Personally, I think her politics are very dangerous....even worse than Bill's. She is convinced of her socialist ideology whereas Bill simply wanted power and the spoils that go with it. Besides the book below, there are other books that describe her as well. I read "Boy Clinton" which gives an insight of her early life in college up to Bill's election as President. It does not paint a "pretty-picture" of her or her beliefs. Btw, she has had her college thesis sealed to prevent it from becoming public. (It is supposed to be a socialist diatribe against constitutional America.) You might want to try this book for further insight: The First Partner Hillary Rodham Clinton by Joyce Milton Reviews Amazon.com Hillary Rodham Clinton is a touchstone for a generation. Supporters view her as a feminist icon, detractors as an enabler for her husband's constant philandering--and as someone with her own dangerous political agenda. The First Partner is a well-written, well-researched, and insightful biography in which Joyce Milton fully considers her subject's many contradictions. Hillary Rodham's upbringing was as stern and demanding as her husband's was loose and adoring. She has always provided discipline; he, charm. Milton concludes that the first lady's "most significant public accomplishment by far" has been "saving Bill Clinton from political ruin" by standing by him and stage-managing behind the scenes on numerous occasions. Those who crave sensational tidbits will not be disappointed by the book's "greatest hits" recap of the various Clinton scandals: the suggestion that Bill Clinton used drugs when he was governor; that the Clintons considered divorce; the alleged affair between Hillary and Vince Foster; her use of profanity with Secret Service agents; the banning of Barbra Streisand from the White House; the "kitchen coup"; the pornographic Christmas ornaments; the failure to credit her collaborator on It Takes a Village--not to mention Whitewater, Filegate, Travelgate, Chinagate, and Monicagate. Milton claims that whenever there is trouble, Hillary Clinton can usually be found right in the middle of it, but that she consistently denies involvement, expecting friends and employees to cover up for her. Perhaps Milton's most valuable contribution in The First Partner, though, is to take a hard look at HRC's liberal ideas and politics going back to her college days, including the groups to which she has belonged and the people with whom she has associated. An understanding of these views, obviously strongly held, will become increasingly important and relevant when evaluating Hillary Rodham Clinton's political character during--and after--her husband's presidency. --Linda Killian amazon.com
