Reply #9: Could you provide some examples of when who and how the left pressured the Clintons? [View All]

[John Q. Citizen]

I was watching, and I don't recall that happening at all.

What I recall is that Hillary convened a secret handpicked task force of 500 on health care, (after Clinton was elected on health care reform) Bill Clinton's very first act in office was to try to honor his campaign promise and allow gays to openly serve in the military but folded almost immediately under pressure from the right. Gun control was Reagan press secretary Jim Brady's issue, and Republicans voted in identical numbers in 1994 as they did in 1990. The difference was union households stayed home after Clinton pushed herbert walker bush's NAFTA plan through the Dem controlled congress. That pissed of Dem voters. I think it was the right wing of the Democratic party who pressured the Clintons, not the left wing.
