Hillary Clinton: Hypocrite?
Filed Under (Government & Politics) by Number9 on 01-31-2008

Can anyone explain the cognitive dissonance with Hillary Clinton?

In six years as a member of the Wal-Mart board of directors, between 1986 and 1992, Hillary Clinton remained silent as the world’s largest retailer waged a major campaign against labor unions seeking to represent store workers.

Clinton has been endorsed for president by more than a dozen unions, according to her campaign Web site, which omits any reference to her role at Wal-Mart in its detailed biography of her.

It would be interesting to know what both candidates were doing about that between 1986 and 1992.

Good point, Christian. Also, Hillary is known to be a former Republican. A Goldwater Girl, at that. People change. Hell, during those years, I had a bad poodle perm and listened to crappy pop music. I’m not proud of that.

OMG… then you were a late bloomer. I had one of those in, like 1981! And you will NEVER see that photo ;)

People change, people stay the same. The problem is when they don’t change and lie about it.
