They go on with the discussion of how talented Hillary is, how experienced etc and then throws out people are going after HRod-

Joy: … because she stood by her man-and the family values crowd loves that, loves it-Why are women now turning on a woman who stood by her man? Why couldn’t he move out?

Many of us wanted him to move out, remember?
Joy should be careful when speaking about the family values crowd: The FVC doesn’t think men should sleep around on their wives and their children. The FVC doesn’t think marriage is about advancing political careers.
There are many people who believe this marriage to have been a political alliance form the get- go. Many believe that her tolerance of his philandering was the price she agreed to pay to ride along on his coat tails.
The President of the United States must be willing to put this country above all else. The President of this country and his family must be willing to sacrifice their own good for the country. No one is forced to be President- this is a choice that is made, hopefully out of altruism and not political opportunism.
This is the crux of the issue with Hillary Clinton.
I didn’t want to know about her husband’s oval office philandering. I was saddened my children had to learn about it. If he, and she, knew his brand of wanderlust to be insatiable, they should not have pursued the office.
There are plenty of people out there who would have taken the job.
HRod then stood before the American people and lied to cover up her husband’s infidelity. This infidelity occurred in the OVAL OFFICE- MY oval office. She cost the taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars because she could not put the country first. She put her husband’s career ahead of the truth, not to protect America, but to protect him.
If she really didn’t know her husband was lying, when every sane person in the world was shaking his or her head at the debacle, can she be trusted to read the poker faces of Putin and Ahmadinejad and Chavez…
Men, Women and their spouses should honestly determine whether or not they can control their personal behavior before pursuing the Presidency (or any elected office) and then if they have concerns about their self-control they should leave the job to someone else.
While I do not claim to speak for the family values crowd Joy belittles with her comment, I can speak as a woman who believes that Hillary Clinton is an embarrassment to women and to this country. We all deserve better.
