Get Ready for Dirtiest Race Ever
The predictions are it is going to be dirtier than any campaign previously -- and, you know, the conventional wisdom is always wrong. If this guy is right, if Rudy has a file on them and they got a file on Rudy, and they're both telling each other, "You play low, and I'm releasing what I got in here..." Of course the Clintons would say, "You can't possibly have any more than what everybody else already knows. So you go ahead and talk about it. We've already had that stuff dumped on us, and we have dealt with it, Rudy." Ha-ha-ha! (interruption) Yes, of course, I do. Of course I believe it. Snerdley says, "Do you believe we're talking about presidential candidates 'kneecapping' people, and nobody even blinks?" Snerdley, you're not that naïve. The knee capping, of course, is used euphemistically. It is symbolic. (laughter) Thanks for the call out there, Richard.
Mrs. Clinton Will "Take Away" $10 Billion from Private Industry
I think it is time for us to step up and say, "We're going to change the way Washington works, and I've laid out very specific plans about how to do that." I'm going to take $10 billion away from a lot of these, uh, industries, starting with money from the HMOs that are getting too much out of Medicare, starting with the no-bid contracts for Halliburton, starting with the defense industry that needs to be pared down and reined in. I've been very clear about that, and I intend to implement that.
(Arkansas broad-beam cackle)
RUSH: "I am going to take $10 billion away from these industries" who are contributing to her in greater amounts than they are any other candidate, Republican or Democrat. She's going to take $10 billion from these industries! Prior to that she had said she would take $35 billion away from Big Oil, from ExxonMobil. (interruption) Well, I don't... No, she's going to take the $10 billion from the government. Well, she might take it for her campaign. That's a good question.
