Hillary Clinton talks religion [babysat migrant's kids so older kids could work]

CNN ^ | 6-29-06

[Mr. Brightside]

"One of my best friends is religious."

[Mr. K]

That would make a great campaign slogan for her:

"Vote for me and you get to impeach ANOTHER Clinton~!"

[Gator101]

I wonder if she regaled them with stories about how the man she was named after had recently reached the top of Mt Everest...that is until the Klan burned their church down.

[kcvl]

I guarantee you that she is LYING!

She never babysat in her life INCLUDING HER OWN CHILD!!!

[Ron in Acreage]

Yeah right. And the migrants were working for her parents too. Scrubbing floors, doing laundry, mowing lawn. She left that part out. And did they with hold taxes?

[SJackson]

She "babysat" migrants' children? Where? In El Centro, CA? Where DID she grow up, anyway?

Park Ridge, IL, an upscale suburb of Chicago. In the 1960s, the liklihood of her finding migrants to babysit approaches zero.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

"I baby-sat migrant children."

"You KNOW what I'm talkin' about!"

[P-40]

I suspect her story is...undocumented.

[FormerACLUmember]

Just another day for the warm, caring, sincere Hillary.

[socal_parrot]

Was this before or after she tried to enlist into the Marines?

[Moose4]

Appearing before a religious conference earlier this week, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) told the audience that as a child attending Sunday school she would baby-sit the children of migrant workers so that their older siblings could join their parents at work.

Oh PLEASE!!! This is starting to sound like Al Gore's fabricated childhood on a tobacco farm harvesting tobacco leaves.

[silverleaf]

I remember the multitudes of migrant workers in 1960s Park Ridge myself. There were probably one, maybe two of them.

Yes, and they were both Methodists. Remember how hard they worked in those Illinois tomato fields?

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

And, personally, it allowed Clinton to speak about her own spiritually. The latter is not new for the former first lady, but it is a theme we could hear more and more if she decides to run for president.

Paging Ralph, Earl and Brian. Chunk-o-rama!

[Captain Rhino]

If the Democrats think they are going to find any NEW votes at a Sojourner's conference...ah, let them keep thinking that. Yeah.

[SJackson]

Yeah right. And the migrants were working for her parents too. Scrubbing floors, doing laundry, mowing lawn. She left that part out. And did they with hold taxes?

I withdraw my previous skepticism.

Her housekeeper probably brought her kids along, and Hillary watched the little ones so the older kids could mow the lawn.

[DustyMoment]

She could have babysat the kids while watching Yankees games and waiting for Sir Edmund to climb Mt. Everest so she could have a name............Funny how she can recall everything except where those damn billing records were........

Too funny!!!

[Cinnamon]

this is reminiscing of the civil rights Clinton moment: Billy boy sitting at the back of the bus in a show of solidarity (BS)

[kcvl]

allowed Clinton to speak about her own spiritually. The latter is not new for the former first lady, but it is a theme we could hear more and more if she decides to run for president

WHO WRITES THIS CRAP?!!!

Spirituality is not the same as religion (which she doesn't get). Spirituality is a term used by Hollyweird to make people believe they are like everyone else. They just didn't mention which 'spirit' they were talking about. It can be anything from a tree to Tinker-bell.

[MattinNJ]

I'm calling BS.

If astronauts were a large voting block she would say she was in the first class of astronauts, only to be turned down because she was a woman of course.
