Abandoning Moderation, Clinton Lashes Out at Bush - ( shrill Hill back in business!)
NEW YORK SUN.COM ^ | JUNE 7, 2005 | MEGHAN CLINE

Posted on 06/07/2005 9:32:49 AM PDT by CHARLITE

Senator Clinton, dropping her recent attempts at moderation, launched a scathing attack on Washington Republicans yesterday, lambasting President Bush as someone who sold out America's economic viability to the government of China and accusing congressional Republicans of making the House of Representatives a GOP dictatorship.

Mrs. Clinton delivered those and other broadsides at a breakfast held at the New York Hilton hotel by the New York Women for Hillary, a $210-a-seat fund-raising event that organizers said attracted more than 1,000 people and generated about $250,000 for Mrs. Clinton's campaign for re-election in 2006. New York's junior senator is also considered to be a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.

The former first lady unleashed, before an enthusiastic audience, several criticisms of her husband's successor, assailing the Bush administration for racking up large deficits that she said imperil America's economy and sovereignty.

"We're living on borrowed time and borrowed money," Mrs. Clinton said, denouncing the administration for borrowing billions of dollars from Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and particularly China.

When she is asked why the American government allows many jobs to be outsourced to China, and when people ask why Washington doesn't "get tougher on China" for not respecting international labor and trade standards, Mrs. Clinton said she replies: "How do you get tough on your banker?"

The Bush administration "is giving up fiscal sovereignty" to the Beijing government, "a horrible position to be in," she said.

There's an irony.

Considering everything her Co-President sold to the Chinese, the Pot-Kettle-Black doesn't even begin to describe this.

What moderation?

She still has a 100% approval rating from the proabortion groups and a 0% approval rating from the pro life groups.

And we all know that she is hungering for everything that anyone else owns. Hence the love of big taxes.

I'd definitely call this meltdown of Hillary Clinton.. a "sign" of the shape of Democrat Party.

Hopefully, Newt Gingrich will now see the error of his new association' with the evil Hillary, since she's simply using him today to advance her agenda, and discard him tomorrow, when she needs to display some 'distance' from 'evil' Republicans.

Correct, her husband gave China rocket technology and missile guidance technology so they can now nuke us anywhere in this country.
They also had the nerve to take foreign money into American campaigns.

A major irony. Bush should hold her and her spouse, up as someones who sold out American security to China for campaign dollars (or wave the ChinaGate flag!!!). Corrupt carpetbaggers to the hilt.

Dear Hildebeast, how are the Riadys, Charlie Trie, and John Huang these days? Remember those White House coffees, a/k/a fundraisers for Chinese money? Remember algore at the Buddhist temple fundraiser, and the "iced tea" defense?

We haven't forgotten, you pit viper.

Ironic, but true. W has sold out the usa to China just as much as Bill sold out the usa to China.

Big taxes and greedy trial lawyers are two reasons American jobs are going overseas. How does Hitlery propose we stop the drain, by nationalizing industry? (don't think she wouldn't consider it;)
