Hillary Clinton Calls Out Republicans For Killing Jobs And Not Standing Up To Tea Party
PoliticusUSA - Real Liberal Politics ^ | May 22, 2015 | Keith Brekhus

At a craft brewery in Hampton, New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton called out her Republican presidential opponents for sacrificing American jobs to appease the billionaire Koch Brothers and talk radio Tea Party extremists. In particular, Clinton criticized Republicans who want to dismantle the Export-Import Bank, which supplies loans and provides insurance to facilitate the sale of U.S. exports to international buyers.

A number of Republican presidential contenders have gone on record in favor of killing the Export-Import Bank, a move that could potentially eliminate a significant number of American jobs in the process. Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Texas Senator Ted Cruz have pledged to shut down the Export-Import Bank. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush also have publicly expressed opposition to the Export-Import Bank.

Clinton argued at the Smuttynose Brewery that the Republican hopefuls were pursuing a job killing policy simply to placate extremists in their party, from the wealthy Koch Brothers to the loud voices on right-wing AM talk radio.

She contended that the Republican candidates were afraid to stand up to the Tea Party and talk radio. She added:

"It is wrong that candidates for president, who really should know better, are jumping on this bandwagon. It’s embarrassing."

Texas Republican Congressman Jeb Hensarling dismissed Clinton’s comments by arguing that if she cared about small businesses and jobs she would be a supporter of “trade promotion authority, pro-growth tax reform, the Keystone pipeline and real regulatory relief”.

Whatever one thinks of the Import-Export Bank, Hillary Clinton hit upon a theme that will probably become a defining motif during her campaign. Republican presidential candidates are so busy pandering to wealthy donors or vocal Tea Party activists, that they refuse to enact common sense policies that benefit ordinary American workers.

Republican candidates are so fearful of losing support on their right flanks that they cower in submission to the dictates of their billionaire backers, or to the angry voices on talk radio. Presidential candidates who are afraid to do the right thing, because it might offend the “wrong people”, probably should seek another line of work. America needs a President who can lead, not one who only knows how to follow.

I think it’s time for the Tea Party to call Hillary out for her killing of our diplomats.

Any good Lefty media organ would use what Hillary said to craft a headline:

"Clinton: I'll Use The IRS On The Tea Party"

Yep, stand up to that Tea Party that believes in the rule of law, honesty and adherence to the Constitution.

If they don’t make a campaign ad out of this, they are missing a golden opportunity.

How about a graphic video of the attack that says:

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton Failed her own “3 A.M. Call”.

Secretary Hillary Clinton said ,”NO.”, to Ambassador Stevens as he pled for the security that would have spared his life and that of three other Americans serving the State Department in Benghazi.

America must now say “NO!” to Hillary Clinton.

These certainly sound like finely crafted and poll tested talking points, which I'm sure most liberals will eat up like candy. The MSM of course will echo and reaffirm every word on for her.

We have our work cut out for us.

There isn’t a single Tea Party member in any leadership position in DC. Not today, not ever. The mess in the federal government was created by democrats and republicans.

The Tea Party is the solution, not the problem. But Marxists like Hillary need a boogy man like Haliburton, the Koch brothers, or Fox News.

Spit.

"Texas Republican Congressman Jeb Hensarling dismissed Clinton’s comments by arguing that if she cared about small businesses and jobs she would be a supporter of “trade promotion authority, pro-growth tax reform, the Keystone pipeline and real regulatory relief”. "

See what she means, the GOP uses those points to create jobs [in some other country, that is]. This guy, Jeb, sure plays into her hands. Who is the GOP candidate who proposes jobs for the middle class?

You contend that increased trade, pro-growth tax reform, the Keystone pipeline and real regulatory relief won't produce middle class jobs?

What then, in your opinion, will? And what economist supports same?

No beers, she is just old and crabby. Hardening of the arteries polished wirh a touch of beginning Alzheimers and an irritation at “those young people” whom she can’t hear.

What's that, Smuttynose? Democrats are placating your billion dollar trust, George Soros and NPR? Hey bitch, how's your daughter's $700,000 a year job going at the Clinton Foundation? Does she earn her full $3,000 a DAY before going home to her $10 million house?

Hillary Clinton challenges Republican RINO establishment to dig it’s own grave by criticizing and attacking the major sector of the GOP electorate.

Do it RINOs, we need another opposition party anyway.
