San Francisco rolls out the red carpet for the Clintons

And there are people who say that communisim/socialism died with the fall of the Soviet Union. As if you didn't need any other reason to vote Republican this year, check out this lovely quote from Senator Clinton:

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

And, what is probably the most relevant two sentances in the whole article are at the end, buried after several paragraphs of gleeful love for the Clintons:

"California Republican Chairman Duf Sundheim said that while the Clintons were welcome to come to the state and express their views, "history shows their influence is minimal."

He pointed to both Clintons' support last fall for Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, who went on to be recalled in a landslide and replaced by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger."

I was about 2 seconds away from posting this exact same article...

The common good? Socialism is now a Democratic philosophy? In the wake of Ronald Reagan's death, remember what Senator Clinton said in this article. I bet the Gipper's doing about 3500rpm in his grave right now.
