Add to FavoritesI find myself wondering, and perhaps pondering, why people are demanding Hilary's "White House Papers" nearly eight years after her "HUSBANDS" rein in our White House. That was a whole different administration, and we were certainly in a better situation during Bill Clinton's presidency!
One may find the fact that I am a registered republican, amusing, or perhaps my mind is open now to what really has been going on with the conservative party for years! I used to hate Hilary Clinton, and was really never knowledgeable of why? She was a woman who stood by her man, She was going to fix our health care system, and did not. Why did I hate Hilary?
I started actively listening to what Hilary had to say, instead of what the conservatives had to say.
I took it upon myself to realize that Republicans find their selves in so much "hot water" because of the self-righteous attitudes. This party clearly spouts of about morals, and the obsession with turning their heads on our poor. Look at all the republican indecencies recently. Could this be perhaps Smoke and Mirrors?
To say Hilary Clinton should turn over her White house papers is just a tactic to throw focus away from the important issues. Campaign managers, skilled politicians, are just finding ways to feed this strong and fierce woman to the wolves.
Why is it we need to release the former "first ladies" white house conversations with her husband? This debate is nothing but a stall tactic, to cause speculation, and draw focus away from the national issues that we are all passionate about.
Shame on the republicans and Hilary's opponents! This is a blatant attempt to divert and steal votes away from Hilary Clinton. It's not even the primaries and the feeble attempts are going to keep coming.
Since this could be history in the making, our first woman president ever. I find Hilary is actually breaking the barriers of all sound and speed. Perhaps, the conservatives, and aging male chauvinists don't appreciate this, and further more that really is the "bottom line". (No pun intended to all the males, who make fun of her "bottom" ahhhh she's doing something right!)
She has no responsibility to turn over her "White house papers" and perhaps as an attorney she knows that this is nothing more than a convenient plan to try and provoke weakness in her.
Hilary Clinton is a strong presidential candidate. And perhaps, if those "White house papers" do get released; we might find it odd for her to be President again!

Hillary Clinton is well with in her rights to disclose her personal documents. She has sealed her own fate as she goes into the political arena declaring she has nothing to hide. She knows by this declaration of not releasing damaging or any superficial documents her political goals for the presidency could be in trouble because her peers would think she has a lot to hide.
It is her right to not release her White House documents for every one to see. That would be foolish on her part to do so. Things that happened while her husband was in office should in no way take part in her bid for the presidential candidate. Hillary is her own person and should not be scorned for not releasing personal records that were kept off the record.
It may even be a matter of National Security that she has not released her White House Papers. If she wrote down things that were said between her and her husband about sensitive materials governing foreign affairs in the world, she could cause a conflict of interest. That would make her vulnerable in her bid for the White House.
It has become public hear say that Hilary blacked mailed the women her husband Bill Clinton had affairs with. That is why her White House papers are so important to the media. Many
influential men have been blind sided by abruptly having power. Bill Clinton is no exception to the rule. Who cares whether Bill slept with every woman he came in to contact with? He was still a very good President and his wife stood by his side all through the ordeal. Now they want her to give up her personal White House papers. For what purpose would it serve? It would just bring up the new dirt of her families escapades.
I think she is very smart to not give up her memoirs for public ridicule. People in the public eye should have some form of privacy I would think. They are human and often make
mistakes too. I do not condone everything Hillary does but with in her rights as an American, she has my respect.
The only reasons for people wanting her White House papers is to ensure her defeat for the bid to the presidency. I think she should be given the benefit of the doubt and carry on her
quest. Political black mail can not be taken lightly. This is one form of black mail that could cause her much distress if she obtained office. By her refusal to release the papers, she must feel confident that it will not come back to haunt her in her term if she successfully becomes President. We should respect her decision, no matter how we feel about her or what she is trying to achieve.
It will all come out in the wash as they say. Until then she has to be determined and make herself a strong candidate. The bid for the presidency is no easy task. Politicians are
constantly under the public Micro scope and for a good reason. Public scrutiny should not be our soul purpose but ensuring that the right person gets the job with out a lot of luggage behind following them into office.
