I couldn't say as precisely. She gets a lot of anger-by-association, I
suppose, but unlike Bill, she's seen as an ideological leftist by many.

Andy comments:

When one considers the creed at West Point, which goes
something like : " I will not lie, cheat, or steal... or tolerate
those who do "

... one has to include Mrs Clinton in that transgression. She
tolerated his philandering and embarassment purely for
political self interest..... In the minds of many, anyone who
puts up with that stuff is of the same character as the one
who performs it. If she would have kicked his sorry ass
out, I would probably be a big supporter......

The last sentence I particularly agree with. Had she divorced him after the
Monica incident, I think she's have a good deal of popularity on the right,
at least to the extent that they would see her senatorial record for what it
is (moderate left with some right-of-center leanings) instead of labeling
her somewhat unfairly as a hard-left socialist. Women's groups also took a
hit amongst the right as part of her fallout, as they are now viewed as
hypocritical by continuing to support her.


Regarded as hypocritical by who? Only by the people
who gloated at Bill Clinton being hounded from every
conceivable direction, even accusing an accusation of
murder, long before they could sink their teeth, finally, into
the juicy albeit politically insignificant Monical Lewinsky
affair, after failing to make any mud from the myriad more
damning accusations stick.

You're welcome to think what you will of Hillary. You'd
never support her anyway, or any Democrat worthy of
being called a Democrat. If she or Obama 's elected, it
certainly won't be because of "Conservatives" of any
stripe, the ones who gave us instead a president who got
us into an unnecessary war by means of lies, who has
ruined the nation financially and brought it to the brink of
destruction, perhaps even over the brink.
