They absolutely hated dynastic aristocracies.

May these two ghastly families of self-serving crooks be extirpated, root and branch, from the national landscape, and in perpetuity.

Hillary will do well for us aren't as stupid and corrupt as we would have to be for your notions to be correct. Maybe political scientists and other observers are right when they say they would not expect big differences between what the two would be able to accomplish in office.

Take heart, sleep well.

can put the clintons to bed with the bushs.. it just saddens me that so many young men and women will have to die before that happens..and it saddens me to think about the hungry children and struggling Americans that will have to fight for scraps so the fat cats can do what ever they do... yep I am angry... more sad though.... but this is what we get when we do not invest in educating our people.. this is what we get when we allow corporations to pay starvation wages.. this is what we get when we allow our representative government to be overrun by 300,000 super rich

angry yes... sad mostly.. but continue to put your head in the sand...

the danger comes from the right, not the left. In fact, I am very sure of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hillary chose Jeb Bush as her VP running mate, or vice versa.

The establishment's wet dream ticket.
