| Boston Globe Spins Hillary!'s 'Can't Afford Them All' Quote |
| 2007-10-28 |
| Cut to the chase - here's the quote as it's widely known: "I have a million ideas. The country can't afford them all." The Globe responds: Here is Clinton's full answer: "Well, I have a lot of good, new, bold ideas, and I have to make some choices among them." She explained that baby bonds didn't have the level of political support of other proposals she had to help people pay for college. "I have a million ideas. I can't do all of them. I happen to think in running a disciplined campaign - especially when it comes to fiscal responsibility, which is what I'm trying to do - everything I propose I have to pay for. You know, you go to my website, you'll see what I would use to pay for what I've proposed. So I've got a lot of ideas, I just obviously can't propose them all. I can't afford them all. The country can't afford them all." My interpretation - Yes, Hillary! did indeed say the two damning sentences. Yes, it was taken out of context to the extent it wasn't one sentence directly after the other, so I'll give them that one. But seriously, folks, those two sentences accurately summarize the entire paragraph. Nice try, Globos... |

| #6 If you're NOT a Democrat, that's called "Socialism" or "Communism"(Either word will be accurate enough) |

| #5 Fits nicely with this Hillary quote: "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." |

| #4 I will put all your kids through college so they can get top jobs in an economy busted by the cost of putting all your kids through college. It takes a village idiot to think this will work. |

| #2 A more statesmanlike politican would realize that she's a liability to her party, and step aside in order that someone electable might run. But not Hillary. No, her entire reason for being is to fellate her giant ego. That's why she'll never give up. |
