What have the Clintons done that actually benefited the Democratic Party as a whole?
Advertisements [?]
Bill won in '92. We lost Congress in '94 and lost it for 12 years. Bill was happy cause he could triangulate to gain re-election in '96. And Bill didn't do shit to try to make a Democratic majority. He was just all about himself and his greed for power.

And worse of all, the Lewinsky scandal cost us the WH in 2000. Yes, I know, Gore won the popular vote, but he had half the electorate ready to put a Repug in office just to get rid of the Clinton stains. If there was no Monica, Al Gore would've won the 2000 election in a landslide. It wouldn't even had been contested.

I'm afraid we're setting up ourselves for the same story again. If Hillary won the presidency, Pelosi and Reid will be out of jobs in 2010. And we'll go down this same path that destroyed our party for years to come.

The Clintons don't care about the party, they only care about gaining power for themselves and their cronies. Democrats must realize this. The party as whole will go down with Hillary at the helm.
