Does this make Bill Clinton an elitist?
Edited on Mon Apr-14-08 02:29 PM by Hope And Change


Historical Quote of the Day

My Life "If (Republicans) could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the environment, middle-class Americans would see fewer benefits from their tax dollars, feel more resentful paying taxes, and become even more receptive to their appeals for tax cuts and their strategy of waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion, gay rights, and guns."

-- Bill Clinton, in his 2004 memoirs, My Life, making the same argument as Sen. Barack Obama.

6. Your title doesn't match your content at all.
My Life "If could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the environment, middle-class Americans would see fewer benefits from their tax dollars, feel more resentful paying taxes, and become even more receptive to their appeals for tax cuts and their strategy of waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion, gay rights, and guns."


That's hardly what Lord Barack sneered to his wealthy peers about the gun clinging, church clinging, anti-immigrant, peasants of Pennsylvania.

12. flat out hypocrisy
I understand people are biased, but to attack someone for being wealthy while knowing that the candidate you support has 100x the amount they do is just vile slime politics. Shame on you.
