Clinton to Dems: “The reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning”

Former President Bill Clinton told a room full of Democratic senators Tuesday that passing health care reform — which he failed to do 15 years ago — is not only a moral issue but also “an economic imperative.” Clinton argued that even “the most cold-hearted person” ought to support health care reform simply from an economic standpoint. He reminded Democrats of the political momentum their failure to pass reform in 1993 delivered the House of Representatives to the Republicans the following year…

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said Clinton described the ongoing tea party protests against the Democratic agenda as a sign his party was making progress. Whitehouse quoted Clinton arguing: “The reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning.”… He stressed to Democrats that they can always go back and retool initiatives and amend whatever overhaul they pass, calling it, “a big complex organic thing.”

He’s right.

If this Congress wasn’t passing all this radical legislation, there would never have been the Tea Parties or marches on Washington.

The guy continues to be a useless piece of crap.

I was going to say exactly the same thing, until I saw your comment. Now I have to add something else...

How about:

It's obvious that the best part of Bill Clinton was left on Monica's dress. Or:

Bill Clinton is living proof that being a serial rapist, perjurer, and traitor to the Communist Chinese still makes you one of the best people the Democrat Party has to offer.

Make that:"I Won the Bag and it Makes Me So Inflamed!"

“their failure to pass reform in 1993 delivered the House of Representatives to the Republicans the following year”

That’s an interesting way to look at it. As if the voters wanted socialized medicine, cried when it failed to pass, then ran to the party that is opposed to socialized medicine in retaliation. Wouldn’t it be more likely that Democrats were being punished for trying to pass socialized medicine? Naw, that has some logic to it.

No, Slick, the reason we’re inflamed is because YOUR side is raping the Constitution.

“A big, complex organic thing’’. Either they’re talking about the thing between Clintons ears or his legs.

I am so happy that I don't have to look at that coked up face of his anymore. The bony fingers & lip-biting is OVER!!

How anyone can listen to him by choice remains a mystery.

this is great news! Virtually everything and everyone he has supported since leaving office has failed.

Hail, Hail. There is “Hope”.

No Billy Bob C., patriotic Americans, rightfully are mad about DC gang, a lawless batch of traitors, destroying our form of government. Ram-rodding a wrecking ball through founding principles as fast as they can.

“THEY” roll him out because “THEY” know we are winning and they are afraid.

Krauthammer just said the comment shows that they think it is all about “us” and “them” and not about what is best for the country.

"Krauthammer just said the comment shows that they think it is all about “us” and “them” and not about what is best for the country."

Well....that IS what I have thought for a long time...it's a big GAME (for lots of moolah).....and it's about who WINS...not who does best for the country!

I get the feeling that Bill and Nancy are try to convince the house/senate (DNC members) to become “suicide bombers”.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah folks....sure, you’ll blow up. Sure you’ll feel pain. But it’s all for a higher calling.”

They don't get it and never will.

Power hungry SOB's and arrogant to a point of thinking themselves as God like creatures.

What needs to be done is to totally ignore what these few do in DC and the BS that they say is or will be Law. IN MASS!

Bill is an idiot. He probably wished Shrillary had won. So he wants to make nice with leftist Marxists. He will only be remembered for Monica Lewinsky gate.

That Hillary pic could dwarf the Hoover Dam in sheer grandeur of scale. Or, in other words,

“Body by Mack Truck and legs by Steinway”

“Wait a minute: Clinton’s bag is inflamed again? Does he need more antibiotics?”

From the looks of him, he didn’t get enough antibiotics the first time.

Billy is nothing more than a rotting bag of perpetual disease.
The problem is...he is still spreading among the population.

Either way we seem to hit the nail on the head.

A few months back I was attending the funeral of a family friend. I spent time talking to one of the daughters of the deceased.

She works for a newspaper in Iowa, and had to endure the Iowa caucus. She spent two hours with billyboy, not her choice, and found him to be the most vile person she had ever met.

She didn't give details, but suffice to say it changed her opinion of this creature forever.

“The reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning.”…

No the reason we are so inflamed is that you are a deceptive, lying, deceiving, vote fraud initiating, manipulative, marxist sociopathic weasel. The reason you won is the marixist propaganda media that, like Pravda and Izvestia, promulgates propaganda about their communist candidate and the communist party positions. Democrats that would be you. If the truth was told about you and your party you would be so far from the winners circle you'd need the Hubble Space Telescope just to see it.
