San Francisco rolls out the red carpet for Billary.
2004-06-29
The leftiest big city on the Left Coast was Clinton country on Monday, with former President Clinton continuing his blockbuster book tour and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton headlining a Democratic fund-raiser where she vowed to defeat the Republicans' "extraordinarily ruthless machine."
Would that they were as ruthless as she thinks.
Headlining an appearance with other Democratic women senators on behalf of Sen. Barbara Boxer, who is up for re-election this year, Hillary Clinton told several hundred supporters -- some of whom had ponied up as much as $10,000 to attend -- to expect to lose some of the tax cuts passed by President Bush if Democrats win the White House and control of Congress.
Money quote:
"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
Spoken like a true socialist.

#11  Does anyone really believe Hillary wants Kerry elected? That would really be a stumbling block for her plans 4 years from now.

#10  Regardless, I do have to wonder why Hillary let the mask slip so much. Did she think she was safely in "friendly territory" with the coverage of the event, or did she just goof up and let it out?
LOTR - I think she actually let it slip. I think she really believed she was in friendly territory, and that Bush is done for, so she just let it out. What I'd like to see is her or any other Dinguscrat explain what she said in the video, if there is one. I'd love to see the, "Oh, what she/I really meant was...."

Barbara -- this is Anon5460. Wasn't sure if I could use the same ID at work or not. The whole Clinton Camp just puts me through the roof. Had to serve under that guy. Horrible.

#8  billary's, freudian slip, is showing.

#7  Since the odds of the media running with that quote are next to nil, will the Republicans actually use it?

I am questioning whether or not they will because if I can imagine the cries of outrage from the media on the Republicans "reopening the vicious attacks of the 90s on the Clintons", I'm sure that Rove can. :-/

#6  that one goes in the archives for safekeeping, and if there's a video, I'd advise putting it up on ebay: Hillary and Rove would alone raise the bids into the millions. Altogether a stupid thing for the world's smartest woman to say - heh heh

#5  Must of been a slip of the tongue. Neither Clinton is usually this straightforward and this honest. Thieves, both of them.

#4  5460 - He beat me too. :-(

The Republicans need to use this in their commercials.

(Karl Rove - are you listening?)

#2  Remember this from Bill?: "I'd like to give you that tax cut, but you'd just go out and spend that money" The Dems have sold there souls to the hardcore left. There are no more Dems anymore..just Kool-Aid drinkers.

#1  Spoken like a true socialist.

Dammit! You beat me to it! If this doesn't scare the common person, and prove what Hillary and her minions are truly about, I don't know what will.

Why can't they (Bubba and Hill and the other wingnuts) just go away?
