10. Big honking clue: I said HER actions. I didn't mention bill, did I?

Sep 2014

I meant HER actions. and a truckload of her previous words- from supporting outsourcing:

When Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton flew to New Delhi to meet with Indian business leaders in 2005, she offered a blunt assessment of the loss of American jobs across the Pacific. "There is no way to legislate against reality," she declared. "Outsourcing will continue. . . . We are not against all outsourcing; we are not in favor of putting up fences."

to supporting Wall Street over the middle class:

She is an opportunist who will say anything and not blink at the starkest contradictions in her own rhetoric.

Big honking clue: I said HER actions. I didn't mention bill, did I? cali Sep 2014 #10

You don't think she's changed her views since 2005. I think the 2008 financial crisis changed them. pnwmom Sep 2014 #80

I see no evidence of that. Her push for fracking, her support for the TPP cali Sep 2014 #93

Hillary is a principle architect of the TTP which will hugely exacerbate income inequality cali Sep 2014 #3

Oh, that TPP that is still a work in progress, and of which you have no way of knowing pnwmom Sep 2014 #5

Well, at least she didn't say it in one of her $200k paid speeches. n/t hughee99 Sep 2014 #50

Yes, it's such a shame that she's donating all that speech money to the Clinton Foundation. pnwmom Sep 2014 #51

You mean the speeches she's made at colleges over the last 18 months, right? hughee99 Sep 2014 #61

No, I was referring to ALL her speaking fees, not just to non-profits like colleges. pnwmom Sep 2014 #73
