Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
Once again, the local Teapublican who credits himself unabashedly with the “discovery” of Sarah Palin, has found a couple of Tea Party web sites who were  unknowingly or maybe more than willing to provide information, made up or exaggerated, that plays into his own political agenda. Our local Teapublican liked them so much he pretty much copied them word for word. If you doubt that fact, look them up yourselves at http://beforeitsnews.com/tea-party/2016/01/no-one-is-above-the-law-not-even-hillary-2565444.html and http://www.teapartytribune.com/2015/04/25/hillarys-act-of-treason/ . He even helped himself to the title of the article on the first web site, using it as his title for his letter. I am, of course, referring to his letter in the Your Views section “(Hillary Clinton: No One should be above the law) Feb. 2 by Frank Aquila.
In his letter, Aquila repeats verbatim, every criminal allegation which appeared in the web site articles. Never mind that these are someone else’s opinions, and that is exactly what they are, opinions. Right Wing opinions. For example, it is my opinion, which I have discovered is a more than shared opinion by many others, is that Rafael (Ted) Cruz is really either Grampa Munster or Joseph McCarthy. That’s just an opinion but one must admit, the resemblance is rather compelling to say the least.
Now, according to these Teapublican ‘opinions’, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and of course President Obama committed more crimes than Attila The Hun. I wonder why then, has no one been charged. Why did no less than six Congressional investigations into the Benghazi affair turn up nothing. Why did over 12 straight hours of questioning Hillary Clinton about the Clinton Email Server also turn up nothing?
Maybe Aquila should try conducting his own investigation instead of simply using his cut-and-paste technique of some Tea Party web site that feeds to his own agenda. I really don’t understand this extreme drive to attempt to trash any Democrat, national or otherwise, in a very Blue State. A state that hasn’t voted for a Republican President since Ronald Reagan and isn’t likely to make that mistake ever again. Maybe Aquila might contemplate a move to a more Red state such as Oklahoma or Mississippi.  Also, since Mr. Aquila “Discovered” Sarah Palin, who just endorsed Donald Trump, maybe Mr. Aquila should start looking at Right Wing dirt on Bernie Sanders before he mistakes that “Feel the Bern” sensation for Sarah Palin Heartburn.
