Indeed, the fear mongering sleaze merchant HRC has always been a Republican at heart.  That is not as big a problem as the disturbing number of scared Democrats who all too easily let their base prejudices and phobias be so blatantly pandered to, and who ignore their better judgment and support someone who thinks so little of them and does not have their best interests in mind.  How soon people forget who was a cheerleader for NAFTA, who has capitulated to Bush at every opportunity, who has the blood of hundreds of thousands of people on her hands, who is the establisment agent representing stasis instead of change. 

She is perfectly willing to rip her party apart and squelch the climate of optimism liberals have at long last begun to feel in her vainglorious pursuit of a crown she believes she's entitled to.  She sees the Office of President as her just reward for being Hillary Clinton, rather than as a position from which one can finally begin to set things right in this country.  By christ, if she can't win the game, she's not only going to take the ball with her, she's going to puncture it and shred it to ribbons.

While Reagan had his Morning in America, Clinton has her It's 3:00AM and Evil Lurks in the Dark Waiting to Eat Your Children vision of fear and hate.

Disclaimer:  I am not a Democrat and am perfectly happy to see that pusillanimous barrel of defeatist jellyfish get what they have coming to them.  How so many people aren't fed up with them and don't get instead behind people of vision, decency, and integrity like Ralph Nader is beyond me.
