109 million dollar hypocrite..
Shame on you Hillary! Shame on you Hillary! why the double standard...

"The reason (George H. W. Bush's tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death," Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times in September 1991.

A couple months later, Joe Klein, writing for the Sunday Times, reported that Clinton made the following remarks:

"You know, he wants to divide us over race. I'm from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they're gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they've been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country's coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, 'What happened to everybody's job? What happened to everybody's income? What ... have ... you ... done ... to ... our ... country?'"

Are you and your husband elitist as well...

10. Who are his peers?
Jimmy Carter (who doesn't have over $100 million in the bank). Bush the elder (who was born into money). He's a career politician and former president. Not some sort of super-businessman. His only peers are other former presidents (and maybe other ex-leaders of democratic countries, like Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac).

2. Why are you using right-wing tactics against Hillary?
Don't you know that using anything from the 90's is just a right-wing tactic?

:sarcasm:

Honestly, though, good find!

9. You're right. Clinton looks down upon women who are homemakers.

7. Don't forget how she actually wants tougher gun control laws, as opposed
to her implication that she is all for every single person in rural and small town America being armed. Her little Annie Oakley story is just that...a story. Her actual position on gun control would run pretty counter to many of those she is currently pandering to.

12. I'm very happy the Clintons have money now.
Bill came from a rural background and was a regular person. So is Hillary. They have earned every penny. Those that are maligning them must not have lived through the good years when he was president or just outright want to be contrary. Those eight years were sure enough a hell of a lot better than the last eight. That is what we should be thinking about.

13. What we should be thinking about is...
WE THE PEOPLE! She is a republiCON every week her and Bill go up in front of some crowd and tell us how wonderful McCain is. What's up with that? She hangs with Murdock and Scaife he hangs out with the Bush's
and now everytime you look around she shows up on Fox.

15. She is not Republican. If she goes on Fox she gets
free air time just like Shrub. If she says something nice about McCain and means it what of it? She has to work with him. Better to use honey instead of vinegar.

17. how about from 2004?
"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."

-- Bill Clinton, in his 2004 memoirs, My Life,
