Some choice Hillary quotes that I find interesting: Discuss
"I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life."
Response to reporter's questions (16 March 1992), reported on "Making Hillary an Issue" Nightline (26 March 1992). Quoted in Boston Globe.

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president."
Quoted in Blood Sport: The President and His Adversaries (p. 368), James B. Stewart, December 1993

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security. This much is undisputed."
Senate speech (10 October 2002)

"I was one who supported giving President Bush the authority, if necessary, to use force against Saddam Hussein. I believe that that was the right vote. I have had many disputes and disagreements with the administration over how that authority has been used, but I stand by the vote to provide the authority because I think it was a necessary step in order to maximize the outcome that did occur in the Security Council with the unanimous vote to send in inspectors."
Council on Foreign Relations (15 December 2003) (video)

"I have said publicly no option should be off the table, but I would certainly take nuclear weapons off the table."
Bloomberg Television (regarding Iran), April 2006 <2>

"We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady."
Iowa stump speech. <13>

"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices… Government has to make those choices for people."
On the health care reform, in a 1993 conversation with Rep. Dennis Hastert. Reported in The Seduction of Hillary Rodham by David Brock (1996). <23>

"I want to get this shit over with and get these damn people out of here."
Unaware of an active microphone at a meeting of Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youngsters. Reported in The American Spectator by David Brock (1994). <24>

4. These things should be discussed.
But I doubt any supporters of Hillary will be willing to do so. Some things speak for themselves, and you just can't defend them.

5. The one I found deeply disturbing was her answer to an audience member in NC
ABC News' Eloise Harper writes: Sen. Hillary Clinton was posed with an awkward comment from an audience member as she took questions Friday evening in Winston Salem, N.C. A woman stood up and said, “Hillary, I love you. I always have and I always will. I felt so sorry for you when Bill had his affair.”

The audience reacted with noise and chatter, while Clinton reached for her glass of water and took a big gulp. “I believe now that the best way to overcome it is to become president,” she said.

The best way to overcome her husband's infidelity is to become president? What kind of an answer is that and what does that say about the mental balance of this woman? :scared:

7. Now we know. Hillary wants to become the POTUS to
pay back Bill by cheating on him, so he knows what it feel like.

No wonder she is trying so hard. Payback really is a bitch.

For you hillbots, that's pun.

6. Careful about those David Brock quotes
As an Edwards supporter who believes that the two worst possible candidates were Giuliani & Hillary, it's important to note that your two David Brock quotes (the two final quotes here) would be disowned by him today.

Those quotes were written by Brock while he was a hatchet-man for the Right-Wing. As we all know, Brock repented and now operates Media Matters as a good soldier for Progressivism.

I don't think Brock would necessarily stand by his work from that era.

Nevertheless, the first two quotes show the same Hillary contempt for others that the final two dubious Brock quotes attempt to show.

8. "The right hand doesn't know what the FAR right hand is doing." H.R.C.
my personal favorite

for irony, hypocrisy, unconscious prescience and above all...

ingenuousness

The right hand is FULLY COGNIZANT of what the FAR RIGHT hand is doing...

...because it's doing the SAME thing.
