Serious Question (no stupidity please) but should we equate Hillary to Bill's policies?
This is for people very knowledgable of Hillary's policies and programs.

Should we hold Hillary reponsible for something that Bill did while in office (policy/program/bill)?

I see them as as a 'unit' and am unable to seperate in my head the actions of Bill from the candidacy of Hillary. I have had several problems with things that Bill did while in office. Will Hillary continue these policies?

for example...


Clinton Administration Appoints A Former Monsanto Corp. Lobbyist To Represent US Consumers On Genetically Engineered Food Issues
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines/072600-03.htm
Leading consumer and environmental groups are fuming because the Clinton administration has appointed a former Monsanto Corp. lobbyist to represent U.S. consumers on a transatlantic committee set up to avoid a trade war over genetically engineered foods.


If I didnt like something that Bill did in his presidency, should I expect Hillary to do the same? Has she made a point to distance herself from anything that he did (aside from NAFTA which turned out to be a lie)?

Please show me where Hillary is not "Bill Clinton- the sequel"

1. Yes.
Hillary has not made any secret about the fact she's running for a co-presidency with Big Dog. From "experience in the White House" to "we will do" yadda yadda.....it's as plain as day.

2. Yes. "2-fer-1, ready on day 1 with 35 years of experience" says that we should
Sorry, but she framed this debate. Now she lives with it -- both the good and the bad. No picking and choosing.
