It is cruel and heartless for Republicans to rake first lady Hillary Clinton over the coals.
It is obvious to voters that Republicans are trying to destroy president Clinton's re-election chances.
Tom Teepen, national correspondent for Cox newspapers, said it best: ``If you do not understand that that is what this fuss is about, then you do not understand what American politics has come to.''
It is a shame that some will go to any lengths to feed their egos, to get what they want. It would be so nice if we would return to our former values of respect for our fellow beings and self-respect.
Republicans, forgive me for inventing a new word: Republicangate.
