Hillary Blames 9/11 Attack on Bush Tax Cuts

New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Saturday that she blames the Bush administration's tax cut program for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center and destroyed part of the Pentagon.

"If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today," Clinton told CNN's Jonathan Karl.

In addition to undermining the country's ability to deal with terrorist attacks, Clinton said the Bush tax cuts worsened the economic downturn in the wake of Sept. 11.

"We had eight years of prosperity because we paid down our debt and we got rid of our deficit," she complained. "We hit a rough spot, and it was turned into a terrible bump because of the attacks of September 11."

Clinton also criticized the economic stimulus package passed last month by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

"I thought the plan passed by the House of Representatives was a fiscal disaster that would set our country back for years to come," the 2004 presidential hopeful said, adding, "I don't understand how they passed it with a straight face."

Clinton slammed Bush and congressional Republicans after telling CNN that "the fight against terrorism has to be such a united effort."

CNN's Karl did not ask Clinton about her husband's comments Wednesday, where he seemed to blame the 9/11 attacks on 19th century U.S. slavery and the mistreatment of the American Indian.

She was also not queried on accounts by former White House insiders who say her husband was too preoccupied by his extramarital liaisons to follow through on repeated promises to hunt down Osama bin Laden.

Gotta agree with her, had not these illegal (terrorists) aliens , who probably voted for her , recieved a refund check , due to her husbands work to subvert the constitution etc etc then they would not have gotten the 300 $ return to by airline tickets and box cutters .........I'm pretty sure she needs to bring this up at re-election time :o)

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.

I don't know what was in post #10, but I think I agree.

[Surge-on]

So let me get this right.... It's all Bush's fault...

She even topped Bill...

Is there any way for New Yorkers to "unelect" this woman?. I'm sure a lot of them would like to.

Heaven knows she's committed enough crimes, told enough lies, hidden away enough cash, and offended enough people.

Can't voters simply say, "We made a mistake. This is not the person we want to represent us. Let's get rid of her and put in someone who really cares about New York"--or are they stuck with her for another 5 years?

There's gotta be a way for New Yorkers to correct this awful mistake. They've been through enough already.

I guess Hitlery feels emboldened by the recent demorat wins and feels its time to counter attack because of Dubya's popularity. I just hope that even democrats have even the slightest bit of logic to see that she is a scheming, arrogant, elitest, dirtbag. This has got to be the most insane comment to ever come out of her.

Doesn't she have ANY spin doctors working for her with an IQ above 70? Sheesh lady, just shut up will you, PLEASE.

Soon we will hear reports of Chelsea telling of her harrowing experience in Queens.

[Darnright]

What else would we expect from Hitlery? Note Clinton's strong ideological attachment to her most influential mentor, Saul Alinsky...

I think we all know what she is doing. She just can't stop playing politics. Craig S. Leyh CraigLeyh@NVSMedia.com

Thanks Bulldog, I have not laughed that hard in months...LOL

These Clintons remind me of the enemies spoken of in the Psalms "whose wealth always increases" and who enrich themselves "while destroying others."

And just as in the Psalms, the reminder that such people will be "suddenly destroyed without remedy." The hard part is seeing them get away with one thing after another and, at least for now, being relegated to cry "How long Oh Lord?!?!"

Great observation!

[PoorMuttly]

Disgusting. She is a national disgrace.

You just wouldn't believe how much this kind of stuff from Hillary hacks me off. That's okay, though. Let her rant. It'll eventually catch up with her. New Yorkers (and Americans in general) may be gullible, but they're not stupid.

"You just wouldn't believe how much this kind of stuff from Hillary hacks me off."

Oh, yes I would. I am just now getting around to reading Hell To Pay. Jeeze Louise, what a debt we owe Barbara Olson! Because of her fine work, more and more people are waking up to just who and what Hillary Clinton really is.
