If the RW found another Bill Clinton GF, would that hurt Hillary?
I've heard Bill Maher say many times that he is worried that the Right Wingers who found Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, are staying silent now, but may release info on another "bill clinton bimbo" in Fall of 2008.

Now, Bill was never really hurt politically by the monica scandal, or jennifer flowers, so its likely that Hillary will also be Teflon to this issue.

I'm worried however, if there is evidence like a dress, or a child, or an std. That could be very damaging.

However, the French are very open about their mistresses, and they are doing okay. I think society has changed and is more accepting of Open Marriages.

After all, most baby boomers lived through the Free Love generation.

1. If the media found a picture of Obama snorting coke, would that hurt him?
Stupid, pointless questions that have nothing to do with anything...

12. And history repeats itself
monica, jennifer, women in little rock. I think most women voters won't care anymore.

But on the other hand, men will see Hillary's forgiveness as a an excuse for their own personal indiscretions. its good that society has evolved, marriage is an outdated entity.

16. I don't think "society" sees marriage as "an outdated entity."
Do you?

Further, I don't think repairing and maintaining one's marriage is a political liability. Marrying 3 or 4 times might be. I think all of our candidates' personal lives hold up just fine compared with the GOP candidates. I'm not worried!

19. If someone has many girlfriends outside of marriage
would that nullify the traditional meaning of marriage. Or would it create a better understanding of male and female relationships where men have permission to fool around without repercussions.

I know many divorced men who would be very happy if society/courts were less concerned with infidelity.

52. The problem here is the 'Holier than Thou' Republicans..
would have a field day and embarrass Hillary unmercifully. Then you'd have Michelle Obama chirping in the background..like the declasse twit she is, "if ya can't run you're own house, how can you run..." Didn't I tell you that before the Primarys?
Obama, I've told you a thousand time; put that butter up! NOW!... Oy, that woman gives me a headache!

yeah, sure as if BC wouldn't be recognizable anywhere. They'd look at him and think scandalous "book deal" $$$$..

Being so high profile does have it's drawbacks. Privacy is a tenable unknown...it doesn't exist for him.

I don't think this would be as bad as Maher thinks it will be. Heck, it could put her over the top.

17. obviously you don't think pot should be legalized
but Bill tried pot as well, and i would not be surprised if hillary did.

But Obama has been clean for a long time. When was Bill's last reported girlfriend, 1996 ?

unless he was castrated, once a cheater always a cheater.

5. Gee, I'm not worried. I think the GOP would like it if people got worried, though.
With all the shit happening in the world, who gives a shit, really?

Giuliani had three wives, Thompson is a switch hitter, McCain cheated on his wife with a billion bimbos before he dumped her for a wealthy pill popping child...I mean, really...

Gotta watch that Pot Call Kettle bullshit!

7. They have a whole bag of dirty tricks to throw at her and
I'm sure she and Bill are aware of it. I don't think it will matter. Most reasonable people know that she's not responsible for any bad boy behavior that Bill might have done. Also, most people are fed up with the Republicans and their lies and they want change.

8. People are way past infidelity, now we worry about war!
A few months ago she said she would get our troops out as president because as we stay there it makes it worse. Now its I don't know what I will be faced with.:eyes: Can you say more war for profit to come. We are in deep shit if we elect her. I worry about the wars she will fight, I don't care what her husband does.

Edited on Mon Sep-24-07 06:20 PM by William769
Thoughts like that?

And you have yet to offer proof that any Hillary supporters here get paid, and theres a good reason why.

18. When in France, do as the French.......
Last I check, this is the U.S. ....and here, mistresses are not something to parade around.

That being said, I doubt that's a Bill infidelity would hurt his wife at this point. It would just be same ol' same ol', and the public has already dealt with this, and considering that Guliani can run, regardless of his mistress stories, I doubt highly that this would "hurt" Sen. Clinton.

28. For godssakes you talk as if Bill was the first president
to do this, and I doubt that you're sincerely concerned about another Clinton scandal. I think the by-pass surgery slowed Bill down, and if he's still cheating, the Monica spectacle would have made him very, very discreet.

31. I agree, it would not have been an issue without Paula Jones
I don't even know what the defination of Sexual Harrassment is, but when a married boss has a intimate relationship with an intern, that can be illegal.

To hear Monica speak today, she still thinks she was in a "mutual relationship". i tell her get over it, she was a warm body and he would have never left his wife.

50. The "Bimbo Eruption" ploy is an old GOP standby
Remember when they tried it on Kerry in 2004? It was all for naught.

The Repigs will pull a "Bimbo Eruption" or BE that tries to tarnish any candidate running against them at some point. Just as they would pull a BE on Clinton, surely they would try one on Obama as well. Same with Edwards. The only ones not believable would be Gravel or Kucinich. I kid...

53. I think that would doom Hillary. Not because she's at fault. ...
And not because men besides Bill Clinton don't fool around. But because the country wouldn't want to go through that whole type of thing again. It was draining. And also because we're tired of hearing about the GOP corruption and shenanigans. The country, I think, is just tired of all these breaches of ethics and such and wants to concentrate on the very serious issues at hand.

I think Bill is probably still fooling around...that's part of his personal tragedy. His fatal flaw. I just hope he can keep his pants zipped up (outside of his and Hillary's bedroom) for the next couple of years, at least.

59. Bill wasn't hurt because he was out the door then - it was Gore and Dem PARTY that
received all the blows.

The Democratic PARTY had to spend so much time fighting FOR Bill Clinton, that all the infrastructure and the party spokespeople were only schooled in that task for YEARS - and few even became familiar enough with the records and accomplishments of any other Democratic lawmaker - including All Gore or the 2004 nominee John Kerry.

THAT is why the Dem spokespeople on TV throughout that time got their asses handed to them on a daily basis - they were a pack of IGNORANT KNOW-NOTHINGS about any other Democrat but Clinton who BOGARTED all their attention for so long.

61. That's what TeamClinton spread afterwards. It's BULL. Bill and his party chairs
oversaw the collapse of party infrastructure in too many states after 1996 election.

Gore only lost because the Democratic party's infrastructure was too weak to secure the election process, especially in crucial states like Florida and Ohio - and allowed the RNC to steal 2000, 2002 and 2004.

Gore won. The Dem party never appropriately assessed the blame and never secured the election process for the next two election cycle, thanks to the HORSECRAP put out by TeamClinton that Gore lost because he didn't embrace Clinton enough.

that Gore still would have lost because he didn't embrace Clinton enough?

Sell it to someone stupid. Most of us here know damn well that had all of Gore's votes been secured and counted in every state, he would have taken office by a comfortable margin.
