The Six Major Political Rules of the Clintons - A Guide to the Politically Perplexed
Some people still don't understand how the Clintons operate politically.
Why did Bill sign DOMA and other regressive legislation. Why is Hilary always evolving and changing positions? Why did Hillary find it so difficult to apologize on Iraq and her email and why does she often blame her unpopular decisions on factors beyond her control. Why did Hillary imply that Bernie was sexist after he drew a contrast between himself and the Clintons on DOMA and Iraq that painted them in a poor light?
Here are six rules to understand how the Clintons operate politically:
1) At all times act in your own self interest first and foremost.
2) Do whatever it takes to increase and protect your power and wealth. The people affected by your decisions are secondary.
3) Any proposal or policy for the greater good must follow rules one and two.
4) Always take credit for popular decisions and policies but blame others or other factors beyond your control for unpopular decisions and policies.
5) Never apologize for an unpopular decision unless there is absolutely no other alternative as determined by focus groups and polls.
6) If an unpopular decision cannot be explained away blame your opponent(s) of doing the same thing or make up a false equivalent and use it against your opponent.
Machiavelli could write a book on it.

I'm so glad you posted this, because it really turned me around.
I've been a staunch HRC supporter (and LOVE Bill!), but thanks to your post, I have completely changed my mind about both of them.
I see you're a BS supporter. And that's fine and all. But, ya know, trying to make the other candidate look bad doesn't really say a lot for your candidate-of-choice. In fact, it makes one wonder why there are so many HRC-bashing posts instead of "here's why BS is so great!" posts.
But again, thanks for completely changing my mind about Hillary - because that's what these anti-HRC posts do. And any day now, you're going to see a virtual stampede of HRC-defectors because of OPs just like yours!
Somehow, I have a feeling this 
might actually be necessary.
K and R
to Hillary,so they knew it was a right wing site,and so do the Sanders supporters reccing it.
