Hillary Clinton: From "Stand By Your Man" to "Stand By Your Lies"
by Jin Ah Jin
June 18, 2013 

Once upon a time, I admired Hillary Clinton.  I respected the fact that during the trials of Monica Lewinsky and all the other “mistresses” that came out of the woodworks, Hillary chose to stand by her man and tried to make things work out for the sake of her family.  I thought she was an advocate for women and that she would not ignore the toils and troubles of the regular wife, mother, single mom, working or stay at home.  In addition, I admired her seeming independence to be her own woman.  Thus when she was appointed to be the Secretary of State, I assumed that there would be some semblance of balance within this lopsided administration. 

I was wrong.  It was all for show. 

Over the past several years, respect has turned into disgust as I’ve watched Clinton’s flip flops, lies, and scandals (including her Benghazi performance).  Now I believe the only reason she stuck with her marriage contract was to predetermine and push her forward to possibly run in the 2016 elections. 

Of course, only because they’re both women, people compare Hillary’s credentials to Sarah Palin’s.  In my eyes, there is no comparison. Say all you want about Sarah Palin but she laid it all on the table.  She also successfully ran a state, and when she felt her leadership abilities were diverted by her VP campaign, she resigned gracefully.  The only thing Ms. Clinton seems to run is the constant cover up of scandals. There is no comparison. 

Do you remember her words in 2008, “Shame on you Barack Obama!”? Well, shame on you, Ms. Clinton! 

Of course, as usual the MSM is trying to protect her and shield her as much as they are with Barack Obama.  Thus I write this to ensure that we do not forget what kind of person we want—and don’t want—as our U.S. leaders and this is certainly not Ms. Hillary Clinton.  In this arena of politics, she has shown where she stands on integrity of an administration and the transparency it was supposed to be. 

But mostly, we will never forget Hillary Clinton’s words:  “What difference does it make?” and her strange, ongoing performance in the Benghazi hearings.
