“Everybody’s got to be in the system.”

Cradle to grave, baby. Cradle to grave.

Geesh...

[EagleUSA]

More freakin’ socialism — more big government control for those socialists -— and MORE CONTROL OVER YOUR CHILDREN.

This woman is a RADICAL MARXIST. The STATE and Hillary are to replace God and parents.

[Lizavetta]

Typical liberal solution.

Provide a taxpayer funded net. Don't do squat to prevent the problem in the first place.

Cradle to grave .. the Clintons got ya covered.

Clinton argues that roughly 12.9 million children live in poverty, with about 5 million living in extreme poverty. That means their families have incomes of less than half the federal poverty level.

Kids don't have enough money? I've know just the thing you need...

Problem solved, Sen. Clinton. And it doesn't require any new Federal programs, either.

Re: Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton offered a plan to improve childhood nutrition and set a goal to reduce by half the 12 million youngsters living in poverty over the next dozen years.

Don't I recall in 1997, Bill calling for... a plan to improve big boobed blondes' nutrition and set a goal to reduce by half the 42 million blonde bimbos living without knowing Bill "feeling their pain" special treatment over the next dozen years?

Gadzooks, I think Bill... will succeed before Hill does!

Clinton said she favors speeding development of a replacement for the soon-to-be-retired space shuttle and claimed "important differences" with "my opponent with respect to the next generation of vehicles for space flight."

The freaking Onion couldn't make this stuff up.

Where do space vehicles rank in the Pew Poll of voter concerns LOL!!

Seriously, this chick is the political whiz kid?

Somebody drop the damn house already and end at least her role in what promises to be one of the great embarrassing moments in American history, namely the next administration.

“We will take from you for the common good”.

[gunner03]

Not content to cover all from the womb to the tomb, as O’man wants, Hil want to cover all from the erection to the resurrection. God help us all.

That won't work," said Clinton. "Everybody's got to be in the system."

What system you manical control freak! Yours?

"I have to say I don't know how single moms do it," said Clinton.

No? Well, how is making them pay for Bill Gates's health care going to make it any easier for them?

[eyedigress]

Health Insurance was proposed to those as a device to keep their costs down through many involved. Heck, they better take care of all insurance ie: Cars, Homes, Renters, Litigation, jeez it doesn’t stop.

[PISANO]

There are over 200 child nutrition state and federal programs, one more won't solve the problem.

You really have to be a womb to tomb government ward to buy into this tripe!!

[Texas Eagle]

Don’t give ‘em ideas.

[LibFreeOrDie]

"I have spent a lifetime working to help children, which is my first passion."

What a steaming tractor load that is!

The nutrition effort would come largely through signing up more people for the food stamp program and expanding its benefits.

Signing up more people? The Boston radio stations (for at least a year) have been running ads every day practically begging people to sign up.

The votes are in and Obama still pulls it out with the adoring ignorant voters. Sorry Hillary.....

[Wiseghy]

“for the children” programs poll as some of the most appealing around. DC loves them, and they are hard to vote against, since you are then “against the children”, investing in our future, against the innocent, etc.

I heard an analyst in DC say that Sen. and President Clinton had built the Child theme into a science on introducing expansive government programs for adult constituencies.
