43. Don't the right wingnuts do enough condemning of Democrats for all of us?

We don't have to like everything that they did, but there is no reason for us to trash them just so that we can feel good about ourselves and how we point out flaws in GHW Bush.

Is anyone ready to add Hillary to the list of Democrats we should condemn?
