GOP: Here's to Hillary's big party!

    Don't Throw Me In That Briar Patch!

    Bill was hardly the most liberal president. If anything he capitulated a hell of a lot more then he should. So what is this really about? Where is this irrational hatred coming from? What is it about this family that stirs up so many negative emotions?

    Because Bill's the only two term Dem President in last five decades, and his approval ratings on his worst day were higher than Shrub's have been for the last three years.

    Don't worry, though; If BO makes it to the White House, the Republicans will hate him just as Bill, if not more so.

    Is it me, or is the GOP's shouting "I hope you put the Clintons on!" remind you of Brer Rabbit's "Don't throw me in that briar patch!"?
