I've always wondered why women, especially poor and working women support Clinton.
I've always wondered why women support Clinton. I mean, yes, she is a woman, but in many ways that's where sisterhood ends. I've always had a problem with how the Clintons dealt with the women who Clinton had sex with (putting it bluntly). Clinton screwed the women, and then Hill' helped destroy the 'women.' Coming from Arkansas at a young age, I didn't see most of this and its effects or the scandal, but I can tell you that it was not considered 'nice.'
Regardless of how you believe about how the Republican-machine used these women to bring down the Democrats, and cause the impeachment--the reality is that the Clintons lied about what happened and that most of the Clintons' troubles were the result of their own activities. Yet, these women were telling the TRUTH--even if the Clintons and the media considered them 'trailer trash.' They were honest 'trailer trash.'
I have trouble supporting a woman who facilitated her husband's pedatory activities, especially against subordinates--regardless of how closely their own political 'ideals' mirror my own. I have trouble supporting a woman who has no problem willingly and actively destroying other women for telling the truth.
The best way I can show this is a recent article from Slate that I saw earlier today.
"And Speaking of Perfect Unions ... What if Hillary Clinton gave a speech about gender? (And why she won't.)" http://www.slate.com/...
