I know this will prompt anti-Bush comments and so forth, but we are not looking at Bush in the 08 election..so that would be a waste of time and energy.
The question: Does anyone actually trust the Clintons?
campaign financing, selling pardons on the last day, turning the White House into Motel 6, stealing stuff from the White House in the last days, the illegal book advance of $10 million on her book. The sex scandel, selling foreign stocks as she entered the race...its just alot to overlook isnt it?

The bad news is that there are many such people. The good news is that therapy can help them.

Good Question. I am a democrat and, yes, I do trust the Clintons. I mean the question isn't really fair, though, because you can't trust ANY politician. But if I had to choose between a democrat and republican, I would sooner vote for a democrat any day based on trust. Republicans have stood behind Bush, even though he has lied and lied and lied. Democrats may not have all the answers, but at least they try to honestly redeem the hole America has fallen into. I think so far, Hillary is the front runner, but had Bill not been president, My answer might be different.

I am neither liberal nor conservative but I don't know who you can fully trust in government. Clearly if you highlight all the unsavory details of any politician you can't trust any of them! However there are many of us who appreciate the general ideas and policies some candidates stand for. I support Hilary, she has helped me personally with some issues (even though I am just a regular person who has never even met her) and I support the concept of building an America that is more supportive of all the great people of this country not the few. So although I don't trust the Clinton's I do support them!

You will never find a politician you can totally trust, every one has a favor or two to pay back.
It will takes four years for a candidate to get up to speed, we do not have the time.
The reason I trust the Clinton's is the sorry state of our country and the world. Hillary and Bill will accomplish more in the first year then all others could only dream of doing in eight.

Anyone who seriously believes that ANY politician ascended to the level of candidacy for leadership without a whole bunch of underhanded scheming and dishonest activity is living in a fairytale.
Clinton is no more or less trustworthy than any other candidate. It is, and always will be, all about perception.
The only real question is, Can she do the job? Is she capable of being the figurehead for a country in crisis?

I don't trust the Clintons as far as I can throw them. But the ONLY republican I will vote for is Ron Paul. If I have to choose
between Hillary and any other Republican candidate. Hillary gets my vote. Now how damn sad is that.

Believe it or not... A lot of good happened for this country when Bill Clinton was in office. He was one of the "better" presidents. Not to say I agree with their private lives. As for Hillary... Her votes are going to come from people who loved Bill. I loved when Bill was president, but I don't think Hillary is on the same page he was. Especially when it comes to stopping illegal immigration & bringing our troops home (my son is one of those troops & I want him home)!

As far as running the country, I'd trust Bill Clinton again. Peace, general prosperity an intervention in Bosnia with no American soldiers killed and a balanced budget are some pretty good credentials. But, I wouldn't trust him with my whiskey, my woman or my Cheese Whopper. And, I don't think I'd take investment advice from him.
Hilly's shifty, but she tells people what she's going to do and stands by it. I'd trust her as long as I got to read the fine print.

I have never met a single person who trusts the Clintons.
Even the Welfare Democrats, I know, don't trust them.
Bill got elected by Democrat Men who were "sexually excited" by him. Polls right after the election proved that.
Hillary "sexually excites" Democrat Women.
Sex is Important In Politics!!!!!

Well, anyone who trusts any politician is a fool...because it is the job of the politician to say what they must to get into office...if they aren't in office they have no job. But the question is, "is she any worse than any others now or for the election?"
