Bill Clinton: "If You Elect Me..."

[Ichingcarpenter]

Bill Clinton:

So Hillary says, in 2005, the United States Congress adopted the Bush-Cheney energy bill, which gave $27 billion in subsidies to nuclear, oil, and gas and coal. The only thing that was justified was clean coal, because countries are going to be using that. We have to figure out how to take the carbon dioxide out of it. The rest of it is waste. If you elect me, I'll repeal those subsidies. And put them into a strategic energy fund that will create American jobs for America's future with clean energy.

1. So Hillary says, in 2005...

What part of that quote escapes you?

2. I Saw The Clip Of That ...

It made me wonder if that's not the reason that a good deal of Hillary's supporters are really hers. It's not her they really want, it's Bubba.

4. "2005" what is your point?

5. You are contemptible for posting what you know to be a lie

Funny how much fun you can have by pretending that when someone is quoting another person, they are actually speaking for themselves.

Using this trick, I imagine you can find a comparable excerpt where Bill Clinton "says" he would be the first woman president.


For anyone who prefers the truth to lies, try this with quotation marks where they belong:

Bill Clinton: So Hillary says, in 2005, "the United States Congress adopted the Bush-Cheney energy bill, which gave $27 billion in subsidies to nuclear, oil, and gas and coal. The only thing that was justified was clean coal, because countries are going to be using that. We have to figure out how to take the carbon dioxide out of it. The rest of it is waste.
