2. No worries. She didn't inhale, so what would be the point?
Actually, I'd love to hear her answer that question; don't recall it ever being asked.

19. I was just being a smartass.
But do you think somebody who grew up during that time and went out with Bill Clinton didn't smoke any dope? I don't think it's ignorant to believe that; I'm part of her generation and it just wasn't something "bad" to do.

23. It doesn't mean everyone did it. There were plenty of health nuts at
the time too. You just didn't hang with the health crowd, but it was big

35. My sister was at Wellesley when Hillary was there....
If my socially conservative sister smoked pot, chances are Hillary did, too. And, FYI, I worked at at an organic foods company during that time, called "Llama, Toucan & Crowe" in Brattleboro, VT. (We all smoked dope). It seems I'm not the only one who can generalize around here.

39. If one smoked dope and said they were part of the health crowd,
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 12:45 PM by durrrty libby
they were kidding themselves. We were from a purist health crowd based in fact. Sorry

you are still the only one generalizing

6. I might be more inclined to support her if...
...she reports "Hell yes, I inhaled-- then I drank the bong water and licked the residue out of the bowl...." Bill was always such a wimp about dope.

Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 01:58 PM by Perky
about drug use ans wellesly. It was meant as a joke. It was insentitive but it was mean to be funny in the same way that comment ws. I never suggest that everyone at Welleely was a lesbian and even if they were big deal....Not really my business.

Nothethless. it was a stupid comment and I appologize for it.

And then claiming it was a joke.

The "Hillary is a lesbian" crap is RW meme.

36. If she is a lesbian she is a 'Cheney Lesbian'.
I am sure that you have noticed that the rules that apply to the rest of the country do not apply to blue bloods. She could get away with that I am sure.

43. Get away with the bending the rules... the laws not applying
to politicians and their family members. Have you noticed? Is is weird to you that MS. Cheney can have a gay family and a baby while others of the same sex orientation in this country are denied any right to a family, insurance and other benefits. I don't know how that line could be misconstrued but congratulations. I will never speak here about anything gay or whatever the term you would call it. I give up!!!

12. Absolutely
but of course Hillary didn't write about, or talk about it herself, but it's still fair game, and no one can dictate how anyone else should feel about it.

30. she doesn't
she's made that obvious

If she wants to point to White House presence as experience, then she needs to explain why that administration fought against Prop 215 and hired a military general to be the drug "czar" How Bill threatened highway funding if California went ahead and let it pass. How they increased funding for the laughable advertising campaign against pot. etc. etc. etc. How she didn't speak out against her husband's (and Bush's) approval for raiding pot clubs.

31. She Strikes Me as Someone Who Would Benefit From a Toke
I'm not sure if the Goldwater girl was listening to Jefferson Airplane over at Fillmore West, but I somehow doubt it.

34. She was only 16 through most of 1964, so I doubt if she was still a
"Goldwater Girl" at Wellesley.

32. Of course.
And based on those published letters from when she was in college (released by a former friend of hers), I would be shocked if the answer were yes.

45. The real question is do you think the Goddess of Peace looks even better when your stoned or sober
Most people who get polled about it think she looks just as good when they're stoned as when they're not. :smoke:
