I keep wondering how some intelligent people I know can still be supporting Hillary. I'd been coming to the conclusion that people see what they want to see, believe what they want to believe... I decided that probably those who still strongly support her simply can't see what I see. Now I know that all of us perceive things according to our conditioning and that includes me. I know I have my tendencies to see and believe what I want to, although with some maturing those tendencies are being eroded. Nevertheless, Hillary's behavior has been so over the top that it's hard to miss the many red flags about her ethics, character, and psychological makeup.
This thoughtful analysis from the Wall Street Journal sums it up for me -- and I'm quoting a paragraph here which is near the end and is hysterically funny. http://online.wsj.com/article/declarations.html (sorry, don't know how to make this a link...) "What struck me as the best commentary on the Bosnia story came from a poster called GI Joe who wrote in to a news blog: "Actually Mrs. Clinton was too modest. I was there and saw it all. When Mrs. Clinton got off the plane the tarmac came under mortar and machine gun fire. I was blown off my tank and exposed to enemy fire. Mrs. Clinton without regard to her own safety dragged me to safety, jumped on the tank and opened fire, killing 50 of the enemy." Soon a suicide bomber appeared, but Mrs. Clinton stopped the guards from opening fire. "She talked to the man in his own language and got him [to] surrender. She found that he had suffered terribly as a result of policies of George Bush. She defused the bomb vest herself." Then she turned to his wounds. "She stopped my bleeding and saved my life. Chelsea donated the blood." Made me laugh. It was like the voice of the people answering back. This guy knows that what Mrs. Clinton said is sort of crazy. He seems to know her reputation for untruths. He seemed to be saying, "I get it." "
