And After You're Done Paying Thru the Nose for Your Own Healthcare, Hillary Wants to Force You to Pick Up the Tab for Some Autoworker's, Too!

"And we should also say to the auto industry, “we will strike a grand bargain with you.” We want to relieve you of these burdens you are carrying because you did the responsible thing. You offered healthcare to your people, you worked cooperatively with your union, and now you’re being put at a disadvantage because you provide healthcare and you take care of retirees. We need to say we’re going to help you meet that burden."

Bill's Arkansas Tax Record

During Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign for the Presidency, he was accused of having raised taxes 128 times during his term as governor.

Bill Clinton's response: "they know it's not true, but they do it because they think it works."

Campaign aid George Stephanopolous said that the claim "shows that the Bush-Quayle committee can add about as well as Dan Quayle can spell."

To counter the argument, Clinton's campaign asked the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration to tally the actual figures.  The result: Bill Clinton had not raised taxes 128 times as alleged.  The correct figure was 127.

Hillary Healthcare- First Impressions From 1993

February 1993- The New York Times reports that, despite the Clinton Administration's claims of striking a balance between Governmental Regulation and free-market initiatives, healthcare reform efforts to date have mostly consisted of the former.

The Times noted the President & First Lady's criticism of the rates charged by drug companies for vaccines, and other Administration officials’ statements favoring the imposition of cost controls on healthcare providers.

Sen. Joe Biden's Remarks Regarding Sen. Hillary Clinton's Iraq Strategy

“From the part of Hillary’s proposal, the part that really baffles me is, ‘We’re going to teach the Iraqis a lesson.’ We’re not going to equip them? O.K. Cap our troops and withdraw support from the Iraqis? That’s a real good idea.”

Hillary- "I want to take those profits"

"The Democrats know what needs to be done. Again, we're working to try to push this agenda forward.

The other day, the oil companies reported the highest profits in the history of the world. I want to take those profits, and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund that will begin to fund alternative smart energy, alternatives and technologies that will begin to actually move us toward the direction of independence."

What We Need is a Decisive Leader Like Hillary! 

I have advocated engagement with our enemies and Israel's enemies because I want to understand better what we can do to defeat those who are aiming their hatred, their extremism, their weapons at us.

This is a worthy debate to have in our country today. There are many, including our President who rejects any kind of process of any sort of engagement with countries like Syria and Iran. I do believe that that is certainly a good faith position to take, but I am not sure it is the smartest strategy that will take us to the goals that we share.

...And what do I mean by engagement or some kind of a process? Well I'm not sure anything positive would come out of it, I have no expectations whatsoever.

Clinton's Comments Denying an Affair

MR. LEHRER The news of this day is that Kenneth Starr, independent counsel, is investigating allegations that you suborned perjury by encouraging a 24-year-old woman, former White House intern, to lie under oath in a civil deposition about her having had an affair with you. Mr. President, is that true?

MR. CLINTON That is not true. That is not true. I did not ask anyone to tell anything other than the truth. There is no improper relationship. And I intend to cooperate with this inquiry. But that is not true.

The New York Times reports on the unusual route that Arkansas businessman Tom Bhakta's presidential pardon took.

As Bhakta began his quest for a pardon in October of 2000, he, his wife, and each of his three college-age children all donated $1,000 apiece to the campaign of a certain candidate running for the U.S. Senate seat from New York.  This would seem odd, considering that Bhakta is from Arkansas, and up to that point had not been a significant political campaign donor.

Bhakta's pardon request fully bypassed the normal FBI/prosecutor/Justice Department review, and was signed by President Bill Clinton on his last day in office.  The Times reported that due to the hurried nature of his pardon approval, Mr. Bhakta's name was even misspelled on the executive order signed by President Clinton.

"In the gentleman's words, we face a lot of evil men. And what in my background equips me to deal with evil and bad men?"

The Washington Post described her as delivering the line "wryly", eliciting laughter from the audience.

The Senator later denied that she was referring to her husband, but instead to politicians in general.

Hillary, Put Down the Karaoke Mic!

January 2007- shortly after beginning her presidential campaign, MSNBC managed to zero its microphones on Sen. Hillary Clinton as she joined the crowd in singing the Star-Spangled Banner.  Her lack of singing ability went on to cause a stir on the internet after the video was posted on YouTube, where it quickly became one of the most-watched videos.
