(7,321 posts)Bill Clinton didn't do us any favors during his eight years, except with appointing Ruth Ginsberg. I'll give him that and it isn't insignificant. The establishment of Third Way/DLC did great damage to the socio-economic foundation and fabric of the policies established by FDR.
I could bring myself to ignore and overlook a lot of the egregious shortcomings if she had made a different decision in 2000 and divorced him on the day after leaving the WH. Made her own way to the Senate, and beyond.
Unfortunately, she's joined at the hip and together with him up to their necks in all manner of egregious 'activities' and associations which cannot be undone, or ignored.
We need a paradigm shift in regards to policy and cast of players moving us forward out of the swamp of corruption and aggressive Neo Conservative foreign policies, IMO.
