HRC: "Probably my worst quality is that I get very passionate about what I think is right."

How frigging prophetic was this quote? Confirms what we have thought all along, in her MIND and her MIND ALONE she thinks she is right (about being prez, about not dropping out now)...even if it means she destroys the Dem Party

More from the link:

"The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not". (yes, we are...including misspeaks)


"The challenge is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible". {uh-huh--as in trying to convince us it is "possible" you will still win this primary)


"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society".
(Please include this in your concession speech)


"If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my hairstyle".
(probably would go over better than your current headline changing strategies)

"I have to confess that it's crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican and a Christian."



"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president."

1. Oh Hell Yeah?? IWR??

2. Where did you get that quote about repubs and christians?

That one needs to be plastered all over the internet. Sure would undercut the clinton "kiss republican ass" strategery.

7. From the second link in my post---(edit: found the original place she said it)

On the list of "Hillary Clinton's stupidest comments".

I just googled the phrase to see when she originally said it and what I got was:


http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=18520

“I have to confess that it’s crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican and a Christian from time to time.” —First Lady Hillary Clinton, “joking” in a speech with religious leaders in 1997

Hmmmm...then there are these little nuggets at the same link:

“We’re all going to have to rethink how we deal with the Internet. As exciting as these new developments are, there are a number of serious issues without any kind of editing function or gate-keeping function.” —First Lady Hillary Clinton, in 1998, days after the Monica Lewinsky story was reported on the Drudge Report


“We just can’t trust the American people to make these types of decisions. …Government has to make these choices for people.” —Hillary Clinton circa 1993, speaking to Rep. Dennis Hastert on the issue of who should control the allocation of money in her health care reform plan

Google "Hillary Clinton" and quotes and it brings up quite a treasure chest of what she would no doubt today label as "misspeaks"!!

PLEASE someone start using her own words from her past against her!!!

3. "The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not"

4. One little truism this illustrates -

If you want to learn something about someone, listen to what they hate and criticize in others. As a rule, this will be a weakness they suffer from themselves, often without knowing it.

5. The okey doke!

6. Transparent Answers For Job Interviews

Never heard that one before Hillary. How stupid does she think we are?

8. Former friends label HRC, "The most self-righteous person that they have ever met."

:(

9. So, Hillary, you can get passionate about things..

get passionate, and 'mis-speak' and say things
that might be misconstrued....

But no one else can, not Rev. WRight,
and certainly not SEn. Obama....

Shame on you dear. You know better than that.

10. she's not lying about that

She IS very passionate about what she thinks is right. Unfortunately, the only value she holds that I can tell is "I get to be president"

11. "and I'm very sleepy"

[Skidmore]

12. This quality in George W. Bush we have taken down as

stubbornness and arrogance.

13. The funny thing is that she is NOT passionate about any idea or issue

including the ones that she has been associated with for years. The only things she has spoken passionately about are herself and Bill. Think of the passion in Dean's 2003/2004 speeches, Kerry's speeches in fall 2004 (or even more the 2006 ones), Edwards' speeches on poverty. I've watched hundreds of HRC speeches and can't thing of one that I would describe using the word "passionate" Not that some weren't good - they just weren't passionate. (As Charismatic as BC was, I don't associate that word with him most of the time either.)
