Clinton on the Family Leave Act:

As First Lady, she helped pass the Family and Medical Leave Act <...>

Actually, Hillary had been First Lady for 16 days when the bill passed. And while her White House schedule shows plenty of meetings on NAFTA, none dealt with the FMLA.

You know who "helped pass" the family leave act? Chris Dodd.

1986 Senator Chris Dodd introduced the Parental and Medical Leave Act on April 9, 1986, to provide job security and health insurance protection to working parents who must take leave to care for family members (newborn or adopted child; seriously ill child, spouse or elderly parent).

1987-98 Reintroduced the Parental and Medical Leave Act. The bill was brought to the Senate floor in October 1988, but was later shelved in the face of a Republican filibuster and a veto threat from President Reagan.

1989-90 Reintroduced as the Family and Medical Leave Act on February 2, 1989 and August 3, 1990. The measure passed the Senate unanimously on June 14, 1990, but was vetoed by President Bush on June 29, 1990. The House failed to override the veto on July 25, 1990.

1991-92 Reintroduced the Family and Medical Leave Act on January 24, 1991. The bill passed the Senate by a two-thirds vote of 65-32 on October 2, 1991.

1993 The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 passed both houses and was the first bill signed into law by President Clinton. FMLA provides job security for millions of Americans by providing up to 12 weeks unpaid leave per year to care for a family member.

That's seven years of fighting to make the FMLA a reality. Yet Clinton, a First Lady for 16 days, says:

As First Lady, she helped pass the Family and Medical Leave Act <...>

Hillary Clinton is a lying sack of goat shit.

How's that?

[jgraz]

Treating her like "any guy"? Why would you need to treat her differently if she were "a guy"? :eyes:

10. Right-wing nuts caught in another ab hominum slander.

It takes a really paranoiac to go sifting through every past moment of some boogyperson's life, looking for any little inconsistentcy that can be turned into a charge of lying or murder or theft or whatever the wingnuts are accusing Hillary of today.

If the people who are so frantically searching for gossip and so anxious to use invective ON SUCH INFINITESMIALLY SMALL MATTERS really ARE Democrats, then I know I am making the right decision in staying home on Election Day rather than voting for Obama. Because I want to be no part of a party that acts like that.

11. I don't know....

I think taking credit for someone else's work is one of the lowest things a person can do. A big person, a magnanimous person holds the other's achievement up to see. Hillary is sick in the head.

13. So, what...

...Did she walk it in to the Oval Office and hand Bill a pen.

Pathetic.

I'm suprised Dodd hasn't said anything after putting his heart into this for years.

If she really believes all the BS she's flinging around, then she can't be anything but delusional.
