Another story about a former Hillary supporter
Our bridge buddy loves the Clintons. 2 weeks ago he started the conversation by saying: What needs to happen is Obama needs to withdraw from the race before this gets nastier.

The other 3 of us howled telling him it is Hillary who should withdraw as Obama has more votes etc. His only defense was this is her last chance, he'll be able to be prez in 2016 blah blah.

This week I started the conversation (we didn't play last week as some wanted to watch some sporting event) by saying: So, how you liking Hillary now? Do you still support her?

He hung his head and said: What on earth is she thinking? This Bosnia thing was so unnecessary. It makes her look like the liar everyone has always called her. And power hungry. And that she'll do anything to get elected.

We didn't even get the Wright thing.

He's so over Hillary...and Bill.

I've got one left. Person I know who still supports Hillary.

5. it's like watching some bizarre greek tragedy
or Shakespearian tragedy.

She carries the seeds of her own destruction and sows them herself!

I have to look away its so sad to watch.

A good deal of who I am politically is defending the Clintons against unwarranted attacks.

These are not unwarranted attacks.

4. she did it to herself, that's the tragedy
I'm about her age. It breaks my heart to watch her do this to herself.

I'm tired of defending the Clintons.

I'd still do it if there was no alternative.

That's her problem.

We don't have to defend them anymore.

I'm done and so are a lot of other people.

6. that's the thing that a lot of the people
that we all have on ignore now refuse to realize Hamlette; that we ALL loved and defended the Clintons for a good part of our political lives. For YEARS we fought back, citing 22 million new jobs and a surplus budget before President Dickwad took office with his stupid pie chart cut 3 ways...arrgghghhh

7. As far as I'm concerned...
...Hillary can be dumped in the trash with the other corrupt, warmongering
politicians who lie their asses off to us and care only about their own greedy
interests.

Same as Lieberman, same as Zell Miller, same as Bush, Cheney, etc. Most corrupt
politicians are Republicans, but some are Democrats. Throw them all out like
yesterday's trash and don't look back.

That includes Hillary.

Who gives a shit what the Republicans think.

9. Once upon a time (the beginning of this very year) in fact,
I supported the Clintons. Now I don't even respect them. I'm done with both of them.
