I hate the thought of letting the Republicans win on, well, just about anything.
But some of this shit is just so wearying it makes me want to say, OK, you win, I really just don't want to hear this crap anymore, much less for the next six to ten years :
A Republican congressman from Texas gave a preview of what can be expected in the months leading up to the 2016 election — and possibly beyond — promising that the GOP plans on launching multiple investigations into the lives of presumptive 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
Speaking on the Sam Malone Show, Rep. Ted Poe (R) said there would be so many investigations, “We need to hire a whole department just to investigate the Clintons,” in audio captured by Right Wing Watch....
According to Poe, the largely discredited exposé on the Clinton Foundation, Peter Schweizer’s “Clinton Cash,” would form the foundation of yet another investigation into the Clintons.
“That’s not going away. I believe Congress will investigate one more scandal, ” Poe explained. “Yes, there’s going to be some investigations about it.”
I really don't have anything against Hillary. She is what she is, a corporatist Dem, no better or worse than much of the leadership of the party. She'd be more willing to put up a fight than Obama, better on women's issues, worse on foreign policy and surveillance issues, a worse manager, more prepared to deal with the realities of the job from day one than someone who'd never been there before. In short, pretty much a third Obama term, a little better here, a little worse there, but really just more of the same, the status quo.
Totally aside from the fact that what the country needs is change, not more of the same, does it make me a bad person to not want to re-experience the right wing losing its mind in the fever swamps over the Clintons the way it did in the 1990s? 'Cause it makes my head hurt to think that we're headed right back there, to do it all over again, Groundhog Day with the Clintons and the right wing's endless insane investigations.
