Reply #8: *this* post isn't bashing [View All]

your first response was.

Anyway, I think even DLCers can love this country. We may vehemently disagree with what they think is "right" for the country, but I refuse to assume universally base motivations to their (wrongheaded) policies. (Yeah, some of them, though...)

The fact is, I don't think either of the Clintons "don't give a shit about this country." I think they do care, and most of Hillary's past work is evidence of that. But, like every other politician in the world, some times she's wrong. Her IWR vote was wrong, but I think it was sincere. And I suspect her reluctance to "go after" Bush was born of scars from the way the pubs went after her and Bill. (Again, an assumption. I can't climb inside her head, it's just my best guess.)

Anyway. I think efforts to understand what she's doing--even if we think her reasoning is wrong--will do more help promote unity than just calling her crazy, demonic, or republican (the worst of the lot).
