Hillary: 'I'm Sick and Tired' of Patriotic Critics

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton opened up both barrels on supporters of President Bush Monday night, saying she's "sick and tired" of the way the patriotism of Bush's critics has been questioned.

"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic," a shrill-sounding Clinton shouted during her address to Connecticut's Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner.

"We should stand up and say, we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration," she shrieked.

The non-presidential candidate, who's miles ahead of every other Democratic presidential hopeful in every poll that includes her name, zeroed in on the economy, saying that Bush had given the nation the worst economic policies since the Great Depression.

"In just two years, the country again faces hefty budget deficits," she said. "We are, unfortunately, reaping the bad consequences of a wrong economic policy. They have the most wrong-headed economic policies that we've seen since Herbert Hoover."

In an attempt to explain why the country wasn't saddled with the bread lines and street-corner apple salesman of the Hoover-era, Clinton said, "People know better than what they hear and what they see."

SOUTHINGTON, Conn. -- In a fiery speech Monday night, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accused the Bush administration of having the worst economic policies since Herbert Hoover, with no real plan to end the nation's fiscal troubles.

Clinton, D-N.Y., told about 1,550 Connecticut Democrats that an increasing number of Americans are unhappy with Bush's policies.

"There is an unease," she told the party faithful gathered at the Democrats' annual Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in Southington. "People know better than what they hear and what they see."

Clinton accused Bush of squandering the surpluses that accumulated during the administration of her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

"In just two years, the country again faces hefty budget deficits," she said. "We are, unfortunately, reaping the bad consequences of a wrong economic policy. They have the most wrong-headed economic policies that we've seen since Herbert Hoover."

She said many people, including some Republican lawmakers, have told her they worry about what she characterized as a Republican tax-cutting agenda that she compared to a snake oil salesman.

Clinton claimed Bush's tax-cut plan favors the wealthy while sacrificing the programs that Americans care about, such as public education, prescription drug coverage, child care and a clean environment.

She received a standing ovation when she angrily said it was unfair for critics of Bush's policies to be accused of being unpatriotic.

"We are Americans," she said. "We have the right to participate and debate any administration."

Numerous protesters with different causes showed up.

Some were escorted out by Democratic officials and Southington police during Clinton's speech, and another talk by Sen. Joe Lieberman's wife, Hadassah. They protested what they say is the killing of Iraqi and Palestinian children.

"Hillary's killing babies," some shouted.

In addition, 30 protesters outside criticized Lieberman, D-Conn., as being little different from Bush.

"Bush-Lieberman 2004. GOP Dream Team," one sign read.

A small contingent of laid-off state employees also attended the dinner. They wore T-shirts with messages criticizing the two top Democratic leaders of the legislature - House Speaker Moira Lyons and Senate President Pro Tem Kevin Sullivan - for failing to restore their jobs.

"We don't want people to forget about us," said Mark Williams, a Department of Transportation employee. "I think they did what they had to do to pass a budget, but they gave up very quickly."

Sullivan, D-West Hartford, said he sympathizes with the workers because everyone - the legislature, Republican Gov. John G. Rowland and the public employees' unions - are to blame for the layoffs.

"They got screwed and they deserve the chance to say that anywhere they want," he said.

Democrats expected to raise $350,000 from the dinner, which also featured comedian-actor Chevy Chase.

Chevy Chase???????????????

"In the fwiw dept., if 97 is elected president, and i42 is appointed head of the U.N., I am totally convinced that all hell will break loose. And no, to those who monitor this web site, will I say what that really means. But trust me, it won't be pretty."

Right on...

[LibWhacker]

Well, to me, this is just proof positive that we're getting to commie traitors. Proof that our criticism is effective. Proof that the truth hurts. Keep it up, folks. Never let up for a second. Nothing hurts an un-American b*st*rd more than telling people he's an un-American b*st*rd.

Can't stand that bitch!

It seems inevitable that This Woman will become the Democratic presidential nominee. The question is whether she'll win, or make McGovern look like a winner. I suspect that the answer depends on whether the Republican presidential candidate self-destructs.

What ever happened to talk radio being responsible for the OKC bombing? Whatever happened to everything under the sun being racist?

Opposing the war wasn't unpatriotic. But it's clear that there are plenty of Democrats who consider the President a greater threat than Osama or Hussein or anybody else.

Did we mention that we heard Hilla say a few years ago that she was sick and tired of hearing about family values? She hardly embodies the idea of multiculturalism, diversity, and pluralism, but exemplifies cultural bias. Most inconsistent and hypocritical.
