Since Hillary Clinton officially announced that she was running for president, my inbox has been bombarded with mail from conservative organizations—Christian and secular—criticizing both Hillary and Bill. But how hard is it to criticize the Clintons? And who on the mailing list of these organizations would even think of voting for Hillary? The subtle message is simply this: “Shut up and vote Republican so we don’t get another Clinton in the White House.” It is like the presidency of George W. Bush never happened and we went straight from Clinton to Obama. I have gotten e-mail from some of these groups for years. There has never been any mention of how Bush expanded Medicare, started two wars, destroyed the free market to save it, doubled spending for the Dept. of Education, practically doubled the national debt, increased the national security state, sowed the seeds for all of Obama’s bad policies, and gave us the first trillion dollar deficit.
