(46,179 posts)People evolve and change. FWIW, I am not now and have never been a fan of Bill Clinton. He wasn't progressive enough for me, and my first introduction left a bad taste behind, anyway.
It was that 60 minutes thing discussing his cheating, with HRC saying something about not being one of those women who "stand by their man" when they are dishonored, while she stood by her man for votes.
I haven't forgotten the damage that Bill did.
I didn't actually know how far out of the mainstream I supposedly am until I found DU in '02. I met some really great people; I also discovered that I'm simply too far left to be a good Democrat. As a matter of fact, listening to DUers oppose things under a Republican president that they then fight to support under a Democratic President left me with little respect for the "mainstream" Democrat. The Democratic Party is not "progressive" enough for me.
So be it.
