Why bring up the past?

Question

why do people always bring the past up? some people are bringing up what clinton done when he was in office. why does it matter now when he's not running? or is that going to hurt hillary in her run?

Answer 1

There is a film on this subject called The Contender in it  the character a woman is attacked for porno pictures or sexual acts back when she was in college or such.

The point made by her was what she did back then did not matter. The central issue now is Global Warming and to end it a person would require poverty to end at the same time .

Solar Power Socialism. This prevents unrest and riots over prevailing conditions.

Answer 2

because regardless of what hillary says, since they are married he will have a impct on her decisions. the same way she had impact on his decisions, do you remember the "impeach clinton and her husband too" bumper stickers?

Answer 3

its simple

If we forget history then we are doomed to repeat it

most of the users on Y/A are way to young to remember back in 93 when slick willie and his evil wife and janet reno waged a war against patriots and religious people in this country

they made up lots of excuses for attempting to slaughter randy weaver and his family up in idaho (they shot his 14 year old son so many times that he lost limbs from the attack)

they also shot and killed his wife while she was holding his infant daughter

then they burnt over 80 people alive (thats a horrible way to die) just because their religion was a bit different

then to justify that atrocity they made up all types of allegations that have since been proven to be lies

there is also some speculation that the clinton administration was behind the murrah building bombing in 95, based on their history I can easily believe this

hillary was complicit in all of this

until the truth is out and bill and hillary and reno are rotting in prison none of them should ever serve in a public office

Answer 4

The president's spouse will inevitably have influence in policy-- especially if he himself was once president-- meaning very loosely that if Hillary is elected, so is Bill.

Answer 5

History repeats itself, unless we understand it and do something about the future..

Answer 6

I don't think anything will hurt Hillary as much as she is already hurting herself. People bring up the past in some situations because it matters. We want a man of integrity to trust, and our trust was broken when Bill lied to the nation.

Its all about trust.

Answer 7

Forget the past. Look at what she's doing now. The same reason why everyone keeps bringing up Obama's past. We all have personal problems in our lives. I'd rather vote for someone whose had a bad past personally than have a bad past in the whitehouse, which effects us all.

Obama 08!!

Answer 8

i agree with u why bring up bill's past while he was in office when he isn't the one running for office; just because he's hillary's husband doesn't mean that she is going to run the america the same way he did.when we vote we need to look at the person who is running for office not what there spouses have done in the past.

Answer 9

One definition of insanity is: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. History is a user's guide to success.

Answer 10

Because history can and does repeat.
