53. I don't support Hillary Clinton but I think this is a bum rap
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 02:20 AM by aint_no_life_nowhere
I see nothing wrong with Hillary Clinton working for a law firm that had corporate clients. She probably worked long, long hours at first until she made partner. She was handling mostly patent infringement matters and intellectual property. Those are not evil pursuits. The protection of ideas and technology is very important to the advancement of our civilization. And during the time she worked at the Rose Law Firm she also continued doing pro bono work on children's rights issues and she has the published papers in law journals to prove it.

Hillary Clinton is no saint and roses don't sprout wherever her feet hit the ground, despite the attitude of a few of the lunatics at this website who seem to think otherwise. But I see nothing wrong about her work as a lawyer. Most lawyers behave in an ethical manner and are very dedicated to maintaining the honor and integrity of the profession.

I would rather focus on Hillary Clinton's voting record and on her speeches and position statements available at her Senatorial website, many of which I have read and some of which frankly trouble me a great deal.
