Some of the stuff I have been reading you would think that Hillary alone crucified Jesus. I have tried to stay out of most of it but was drawn into some that was just blatant bullshit.

I for one look for the good in all our Democratic leaders, others try to tear them down to make their candidate look good and all they are doing in making themselves look. One in particular must lead a very sad & hateful and pitiful life with all the venom they spew.

Life's to short for that.

I have no problem at all with debating whether she is good or bad on certain issues but some of it has turnec into a blood sport.

I know I am on a list now. Oh well!

In fact, it is having the opposite effect. I do not want to go to disliking EW because I like a lot of the things she is doing. Some of the statements sounds like Rushtards. Hillary has been Methodist, attended Methodist church in Arkansas and DC, to hear some of them tell it the only religious portion is when she said the bible has been a big influence in her life.

One of my parents neighbors was a College Prof to Hillary. She told my Mom that Hillary was one of the most brilliant students she ever had. In the years of watching her, I realized that SHE, not Bill should have been elected.

I've been away from DU for a while and it was disheartening to me when I popped into the GD. It made me remember the 2008 race and how difficult it was to be an HRC supporter at DU. I'm back

but I made phone calls for Obama and donated to him in 2008 (and 2012) when he won the nomination.

I also supported Gore in 2000 when many non-Republicans voted for Nader.

And way, way back, I was disheartened to hear CA people say they refused to vote for Brown over Reagan because they refused to vote for "the lesser of two evils."

IMO, that idea is just what the right wing likes and it is one reason they have been so successful.
