Was Hillary Clinton just being shrewd in supporting gay marriage?

It is well known that B.J. and Hillary Clinton did not support gay marriage only until recently when it seems that the entire country was alas on the right side of history.

And there are many who believe that Hilldog and B.J. only came out for gay marriage because it was politically safe and feasible. In other words the Clintons were being shrewd politicians! Oh. My. God. I am. Completely. Utterly. Surprised.

If you have at least a couple of brain cells you would know that shrewd politicians like the Clintons and Obama are very calculating (I mean check out the 2008 democratic primary race to see what I mean). But then there are the reality virgins who deny all this, saying "say it ain't so Hillary!" One can only shake our heads in embarrassment knowing that there exist gullible people who actually believe that these national politicians have any morals and consistent principles.

Oh but don't you dare confront Hilldog about it. Listen as she lashes out at this NPR host for alluding to her political sleaziness:

I'm not saying that Hilldog should be held liable for her previous opposition to gay marriage. In fact many people genuinely changed their minds and that's all for the better. I do though tend to believe that Hilldog doesn't really care about gay marriage until it has become the new civil rights issue of our time. She might as well have supported gay marriage all this time (like Obama) and only voiced opposition to escape the heat of the moment. Hilldog's political ambitions made her more concerned about calculating her next move than the importance of equal rights for us homos, and I highly doubt that this character is well suited for being the Democrat nominee for president. But again, that's just me. Politics is not about honesty but style, so don't expect anything more than that.
