The crypto-conservative shows his colors...

I wish the wingnuts were half as concerned about the damage that  
*their man* as done while in office as they are with whatever's new  
with the Clintons.

This whole bit about "socialist Hillary" is a *fabrication* of the  
wingnut media.   Points to note:

   * BOTH parties are in the wealth redistribution business
     * they just differ on how to get the wealth and what to do with it
     * the GOP steals it from the future and blows it on cronies and  
unnecessary wars
     * the Dems steal it from the wealthy and blows it on inefficient  
social programs

   * hand-wringing about Hillary is just a symptom of Clinton  
Derangement Syndrome
     * as Dems go, she's not particularly leftist
     * she's probably the most centrist Dem candidate

   * the intent here is misdirection
     * "if Hillary wins, it will be the end of the world!"
     * (pay no attention to the pathetic GOP field or track record...)
