In an attempt to rewrite history that should have George Orwell spinning in his grave, Republicans have been heaping praise on the presidential tenure of Bill Clinton.
The Romney campaign is suddenly lauding Clinton as a wise moderate who reached across the aisle and inspired Republicans to meet him halfway. Romney surrogate John Sununu is extolling Clinton's "credibility" on economic issues. Paul Ryan says Clinton is reminding us "how good things were in the 1990s," when the budget was balanced and 20 million new jobs were created. And back in June, conservative activist and ex-presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said Clinton was so pragmatic and conciliatory that "Republicans want to get the bumper strips that say, 'I miss Bill.'"
Republicans just love Bill Clinton
So what happens if Hillary runs? Are Republicans confusing their base with this literal "Hate - Love - Hate" relationship?
