I think I was wrong. I argued once that if HRC had won in 2008 the Teabaggers wouldn't have existed.

That they had blown their so called "powder" on Whitewater and blow jobs some 20 years ago. That the hatred we were seeing develop was more due to then candidate Barack Obama being not 100% White. That the racists had their dog whistle in him and him alone.

That they would hate her but because she was in the majority that the hate would be muted or even laughable.

Well bite me. I think they hate Liberal (and more so women on the Left) Women even more. Even more...

Wow I thought we had seen it all.

Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and the Bushes didn't project hate, even though their policies were harmful and destructive.

But I hope that the majority of sane people are realizing that a vote for a Republcan is a vote against your best interest and a vote for more misery.
