When the hell are you guys ever going to learn...the true political animal is neither "left" nor "right". They are populist. They make all of their decisions based on what they believe will give them the best opportunity to stay where they are. It was absolutely pathetic how so many otherwise sane Americans ended up in some kind of euphoric swoon of "hope and change". Hell, if pretty much anyone other than McCain had received the Republican nod it would have been President Hillary rather than Obama.
