#1 Here the dems go AGAIN saying the economy is crap. Never mind that tax recipts are 24% higher than the most optimistic estimate, unemployment is at an almost record low, durable goods orders are up, exports are up, imports are up (which is good, since we have more money, more cheap crap is being bought) and consumer confidence is good.
Never mind the facts, nothing to see here, move along....

#2 
When it came to the economy, Clinton accused the Bush administration of focusing on helping the wealthy while hurting the middle class
Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Ferchrissakes, can't these clowns at least come up with a new lie? The old ones are wearing thin. Meanwhile, the "damaged" economy that Her Heinous trashes is perking along quite nicely, thank you.

By the way, thanks to their rich friends, HillBill are now rich too. And the people she was talking to are rich. So are they returning their "tax cuts for the rich" to the Treasury, or at least handing the money over to the middle class?

/rhetorical question.

#4 Boy I sure wish some MSM reporter would ask her Hilldabeast exactly what her husband did to spur the economy, the .com bubble, or what plan he had to sustain it. I know! He had sex with an intern and that jump-started the economy!

#10 Oh, good God, are we going to have to listen to this idiotic "worst economy since the Great Depression" and "tax cuts for the rich" bullshit YET AGAIN?????

I was a Democrat for 31 years, but finally had enough of their depressive, victimist garbage. Jeez Louise!!!!!! Someone, please shut this bitch up.

#11 Dave D - I'm curious.

Just what was the Democrat party supposed to stand for back when it was Democrat, not Moonbat?

They must have had some kind if platform - though judging from the laws they either got passed or got made by the SC, it was mostly big government.

Yet Harry Truman and JFK weren't big gov't types to my knowledge. JFK even pushed through tax cuts to stimulate the economy. Dems today would never do that, or even admit it works.

Do you remember what their platform was, before they went 'round the bend?

#12 If by "ruining the ecomony" she means "driving people farther from a socialist EUtopia type of thang"... then yes, I believe she is correct.

I'll keep investing and owning. Thanks for your concern, though, Hil. Really. No: really!

#13 Barbara - I'm pretty sure it used to stand for freeing people from oppression no matter where in the world they lived.

That plank seems to have been dropped somewhere between 1968 and the present.

#14 Truman was a big government type. Tried to implement national health care. The Democrats have been about buying votes from the poor with the money of the Rich since at least the time of Jackson.

#15 I think it was PJ O'Rourke who said:

"When the Republicans ruin the economy, at least someone makes some money; the Democrats just do it for fun."

#16 "Do you remember what their platform was, before they went 'round the bend?"

That was so long ago, I don't think it matters what their platform used to be. My own image of "Democrat" was JFK, who presided when I was in elementary school:

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

Today's Democrats, perverted beyond all recognition, have turned JFK's call to service around 180 degrees:

"Ask not what you can do for your country; ask-- no, DEMAND TO KNOW-- why this terrible, awful, racist, imperialistic, oppressive, corporatist hellhole isn't doing more for YOU!"

#17 Hillary needs to make more of these speeches where the mask slips a bit and you can see the shrill nanny-state bitch who wants to control every aspect of your miserable little lives, for the common good - as she defines it. She's been doing her best to do the makeover, posing as a hawk, and a "moderate" (as defined in the donk party, at least) for her 2008 run. Nothing will make me happier than to see her run, cuz she'll crush her parties' hopes for a decade

#18 But Frank,

When Rove mentioned the non-support of the WOT by the liberials [NOTE - He did not say Democrats], the Hildabeast had a hissy fit in front of Rumsfeld. So the 'moderate' tag is obviously out by her own admission. Walked right into that one she did. And she has the afront to imply W. isn't smart. Heh. That ought to play well on the political commercials come '07.

#19 Hillary needs to make more of these speeches where the mask slips a bit and you can see the shrill nanny-state bitch..

The title of her book was all I needed to hear, and that was quite a while back.

#20 even better: when your strongest campaign thrust is that you keep your mouth shut so people don't discover who you really are - you've already lost
