I Am Sick And Tired

Claiming that the uncompromising nature of new conservative politicians and their actions, like the 2013 federal government shutdown, are personally distressing and internationally damaging, Hillary Clinton said that Americans should not be supporting and funding “organizations that take that kind of view.”
Without mentioning names or groups, Clinton in a C-SPAN interview airing Saturday at 7 p.m. ET was clearly attacking the Tea Party and their Senate leaders like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz by mentioning the Cruz-led shutdown and the uncompromising positions several conservatives, even House Speaker John Boehner, have taken on key issues.
“We have to make sure we elect people who believe in compromise,” she told C-SPAN’s Steve Scully during an interview taped in Little Rock, Arkansas. The interview was part of Clinton’s tour to promote her new memoir, “Hard Choices.”
Halfway into his interview, Scully asked her about relations between the White House and Congress and she unloaded on conservatives.
After slapping the government shutdown, she rapped candidates and elected officials in Washington who won’t compromise. “There are a lot of candidates, even some elected officials, who proudly say they'll never compromise; they have the truth. Now I’m a person of faith, but I don’t think any human being has the truth,” she said in excerpts provided to Secrets.
Then she called for a boycott of conservative politicians and groups presumably like the Tea Party, which has advocated against compromise with Democrats on several issues.
“Now first, citizens should not be endorsing those kinds of views. You can be very conservative, but you know that in a democracy, in the give and take of a legislative process, no person is going to get everything he or she wants. Secondly, people should not be funding campaigns or organizations that take that kind of views,” she said on C-SPAN’s Book TV.
Then Clinton added: “Because it’s not just this president, it’s going to be any president who has a responsibility to the overall population of our country and to be put in a position where you can’t cooperate because people are uncompromising and they are being funded to be uncompromising is dangerous to our democracy.”
While she expressed respect for those who stand for "matters of great principle," Clinton added that "a lot of these debates are not matters of great principle. They are political arguments designed to gain advantage; not just against the other party or president of another party, but really against large segments of the American people who have a different point of view."
Again, without mentioning names, she slapped Mississippi Sen. Chris McDaniel’s primary challenge to Sen. Thad Cochran, and complimented Cochran on expanding his support in the recent runoff to beat his Tea Party foe. Conservatives charge that Cochran schemed with Democrats to beat McDaniel.
So there you have it, Its all about both parties advancing the leftwing agenda
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is not a communist organization.
They are avowed “crapitaliists”.
Which, of course, is the exact opposite of the American creed.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."
Hillary’s IRS would be worse...more punitive towards conservatives... than Barry’s!
Ms. Perky: People perceive you as somewhat...
Kat Stratford: Tempestuous?
Ms. Perky: “Heinous bitch” is the term used most often.
Dissent is patriotic, beeyotch.
Liberal compromise=do it THEIR way and shut up.
American college students shouldn’t be paying $ 250,000 to this old bat to give a speech. There are FAR better uses for their money than to line her sow’s purse.
The college should sell tickets and give political speakers a cut of the gate.
The Left is terrified of the Tea Party. You can tell fear by how much someone obsesses over something.
I had not known that Alinsky had such a major influence on her life. Alinsky could chill the dead with his evil, dispassionate rhetoric. Bob
I don’t think that Rotten had anything to do with Foster’s murder, but she certainly was instrumental in the cover-up of her lover’s death investigation. Bob
No wonder tuition is so high.
She shouldn't charge universities. Corporations just look stupid for paying it!
This is a lying woman who has no integrity and has stayed out of jail by saying "I don't recall." What does she recall worth the price of a book?
Notta lot.
after decades of the Republican party leadership being Dem-lites, the Dems can't take a real two party system so they want to outlaw it. Who'da thunk?
Like Obama, right, Cankles?
We’re planning to go Saturday morning. (Tix at our local theatre for shows before noon are nearly half the cost of matinees or evening shows).
IS she really that stupid?.... Cut out her attempt to point fingers and she's simply defining what politics are on all levels and both sides. Sheesh!
Not to forget Hitlery...We are free 'to choose' what point of view we want to support regardless of how it's being presented in the views of those we oppose.
“(you mean other than the forced PREVIEW, which you can then repeat as many times as necessary before actually posting ?)”
Yes I do, since if you miss anything during preview, it is then set in concrete for eternity. A lot of other sites have an edit function.
Alternatively, a “delete post” function would work too...and might be handy at times. ;)
