'Does nobody ever go in with the intention of making things work better for people, and then continue with that same goal throughout their career?"

there may be a few ppl who go into politics with lofty humanitarian goals but only those that can benefit big business ever get the financial backing to make it to the top.

you mentioned clinton as one of those who tried to make the world better. clinton was a despicable individual who lied under oath when impeached & then bombed a defenseless Country in an attempt (successful) to take the heat off himself.

hillary was nothing but a limousine liberal.

i usually get up to golf or walk on our beautiful beach, 3 blocks from our house.

@callmedubious "bombed a defenseless country in an attempt (successful) to take the heat off himself"

None of this is the case. The strike into Iraq was in response to their continued violations of WMD inspection agreements with the UN. It did not take the heat off him in any way, and as anyone would have foreseen, he was accused of staging them as a distraction. (Had he done nothing, he would have been accused of ignoring Iraqi non-compliance with their agreements. Lose-lose.)

Clinton lied about a hum job. I consider that the least damaging lie ever told by a President, compared to lies about weapons of mass destruction, pressuring the president of Ukraine, personal income tax fraud, etc. Bill Clinton will continue to go down in history as one of the best presidents of the 20th century.

As for Hillary- so, liberals can't earn money? What about Bill Gates? Steve Jobs? Bernie Sanders? Let's talk about Bernie Sanders' tax bracket before calling anyone a "limousine liberal".

@Paul4747 , when clinton was impeached he also bombed Yugoslavia, a small defenseless country.

although i'm not a big fan of Bill Gates he did create Microsoft a trillion $$ company. why did hillary ever create?

@callmedubious You mean Yugoslavia, where three (and more) religious factions were already bombing the everloving crap out of each other, along with the international peacekeepers who were there to try and keep them separate? The factions that would have (and did) continue committing genocide on one another as long as they had weapons with which to kill? So, you're talking about the bombing strikes aimed at destroying artillery pieces and armored vehicles which were being used by the BOsnian Serbs to kill their Muslim neighbors, is my guess (because I'm tired and not going to look it up right now, but that fits my memory of the time). You have a problem with using military force to prevent genocide? Or are you just anti- 'leaders or countries you don't like' doing that?

Hillary Clinton tried to create international understanding and peace, which is a shit-ton harder than becoming a billionaire. I respect any SecState more than someone who just runs a company, no matter what they invented.

And whether you like the Clintons or not, you could show the common courtesy of capitalizing their names. Much as I dislike Trump, I am still punctilious about spelling his name right.

@Paul4747 , no point in taking this any further.
you obviously believe everything you read in the MSM. IOW, are totally brainwashed.
