I just saw the Nat'l Enquirer front page in a checkout line. Maybe it may explains the frenzied

posting from Camp Bansalot. The story is about its investigation into sexual escapades and coverups with lots of pictures. I'm sure it's at least partially responsible for getting Camp Bansalot all in a knot. I'll I can say is that altho the NE is a rag it was, much to my dismay, right about John Edwards.

Step aside, Hillary. Take your "gentleman" and go.

That used to take his wealthy friends on trips -- amongst them Bill Clinton quite a few times. I don't think Bill is a Pedophile, but the optics of it are not good at all.

spread of pictures of women. Whatever the story the fact that the sordid past is being regurgitated can't be welcome news.

If you google "National Enquirer Cover" using the past 24 hours image search the cover in question will pop up.

I think it is because so many feminists have long dreamed of a day when we would have a woman president. And also some of us felt a great deal of outrage at the way Hillary was treated as First Lady. There were many scurrilous and misogynistic statements made about her over and over again, and she conducted herself with dignity then. I admired her.

But that was then, and this is now. What I have seen of her since 2008 has disturbed me greatly. I feel very dismayed and worried for the future of the country and the world, given that that our only choices are likely to be her or a man who is unfit for any government position.

This is what our party has brought us to, thanks to the DLC and the Clinton presidency.

From my informal sample, California is still Berning!

One couple started up a conversation, and we talked a bit about Hillary, and I said "I have my differences with Hillary, starting with the Iraq War vote, but I have a viscerally strong opposition to Bill Clinton returning to the White House." The woman crossed her hands on her chest and said "Thank you. I can't stand the idea of him prowling the halls again!"

So there's at least one woman who agrees with me that Bill as First Gentleman is a terrible idea.

I was very involved in health care reform in the 90s. When Bill was elected with a Democratic Congress, I thought we were going to get universal health care! I watched and read everything I could about Hillary's Health Care Task Force, and was bitterly disappointed that she didn't seem serious in actually reforming health care. She assembled a secret task force of 500 insurance company execs and academics (NO single payer advocates), kinda-sorta developed a broad outline of something called 'managed competition,' leaked some details to the press, made lots of speeches about how we really needed health reform, but didn't develop a detailed plan or a bill for Congress to vote on. She made some enemies among Democrats on key committees (Cong. Jim Cooper) and Congress floundered on even writing a bill to enact what she now calls 'HillaryCare.' No vote was taken on a health reform plan, not even in committee.

Then, after 2 years of no progress in Congress on health care, the Republicans took over Congress in the mid-terms, and the entire subject was dead. So much for HillaryCare.

It was a long wait for the ACA, which is still far from Universal Health Care.

I don't dislike Hillary as a person, but I've never seen her as a person who gets things done. She failed to get done something my family really needed, and that we really expected would happen in 1993.

And the dopes on ccn and msnbc think their influencing the country by propping up Clinton to the same 8oo thousand people that watch them everyday. They do not realize once their out of the primary bubble, the rest of the 300 plus million people get their info from the checkout line rag mags which will basically cripple Clinton beyond repair.
