>* Not directly related to this discussion, but I'm in a couple of private election-related groups. People there have been explaining why they're voting for Hillary. Some of the stories they have to tell about their lives and what they've faced because they're women or because they're gay (or both) are blood-curdling. I've had tears in my eyes more than once.

What does voting for HRC have to do with facing blood-curdling discrimination?

If I felt I was being discriminated against, HRC is probably the "last" person whom I would trust to protect my rights. There is a mountain of evidence that she sells out to whatever force will gain her politically.

And speaking of blood-curdling, read all the available documents of her defending a rapist in the 1970's, specifically the affidavit documents she filed. She filed a motion to try to get the 12 year old girl to get a psychiatric examination. Here is her exact quote:

“I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing … [and] that she has in the past made false accusations about persons, claiming they had attacked her body”

And then there was the laughing in the audio regarding the accused’s underwear and the crime lab.

She managed to negotiate a plea deal down to “Unlawful Fondling of a Child Under the Age of Fourteen”, and her client was sentenced to one year in a county jail and four years of probation. Hardly what the bastard deserved.

So you'll have to excuse me for a bout of retroperistalsis at the thought of HRC protecting victims. HRC is all about HRC and the DNC machine - nothing more.
