It wouldn't be fair to say that I hated Bill Clinton...at least, not as a person. Politically, it would be hard to classify him as either conservative or liberal. He would be more realistically classified as an opportunist, taking any stance that was to his political advantage. For instance, I firmly believe that he unconditionally supported the women's rights movement. However, this did not prevent him from exploiting women, both sexually and politically, at every opportunity. He was as reckless with his philandering as JFK, whose minions had to spirit a female bombshell of a spy from east Germany out of the country to prevent a major scandal.
I digress. I didn't hate Clinton. He accomplished some good as president. But this good was more than outweighed by the scandals that dogged his administration. And I'm not talking about the sexual scandals either. The personal files of 700 prominent republicans that the FBI turned over to the White House were an enemies list larger than Nixon's. That scandal alone should have made a bigger splash with the press and the public than it did. No one was ever held responsible for this or any of the other oderous escapades that came to light. Heads never rolled in the Clinton administration.
The people from his home state knew his character well. His detractors, and some of his supporters as well, called him "Slick Willie" for good reason. It seems like some of you big-city progressive types still haven't caught on.
As for Hillary, she isn't as personable as Bill, and doesn't try to be. She doesn't hold her cards as close to the vest as her hubby, seemingly unconcerned whether or not the electorate knows her true political views or not.
Beware. She is so radically liberal that her brain no longer possesses a right hemisphere.
