I don’t either tbh. I’m just tired of so called progressives lying about the direction the party has gone. It’s a much more economic lefty party than the one that many WWC voted for with Bill Clinton st the top of the ticket.

I’m sick of the Clinton bashing. I started working for the Federal Government as a Stay in Schooler when Ford was in the White House. So I’ve served under 8 Presidents and only two of them—Old Man Bush and Clinton really acted on behalf of civil servants. Old Man Bush signed the Pay Equity act which was supposed to bring Federal workers into pay equity with the Private Sector and Bill Clinton cleaned out the corruption in the upper management of Social Security. Bill Clinton ordered an OPM audit of Social Security that led to upgrades and increased pay for SSA workers and he reversed the draconian staff cuts Reagan imposed on the agency.

Whenever the Maureen Dowd types print their snide attacks on the Clintons, it makes my blood boil. And the way they trashed Hillary—she ought to have been able to sue those liars for libel and drain every last penny from them…
