Yes, it was useful to keep the GOP out of the White House in '92. But let's be clear: we did it by electing a Dem who governed as a Republican. Really, what's Bill's legacy? A decent economy, to be sure (though it all came crashing down as he left office), but what else? NAFTA, DOMA, DADT, welfare "reform," the Glass-Steagall repeal, health care "reform" that was an even bigger corporate boondoggle than Obama's -- is there a single policy there that Mitt Romeny wouldn't support?

And now we're supposed to strew the streets with roses ahead of Hillary's triumphant march to teh White House? For what -- more of the same? Yes, by all means, let's keep handing our nomination over to corporate shills and hawks, because they protect us from the big bad GOP -- by basically being a slightly antiquated version of the big bad GOP. No thanks.
