1st Lie - I have a 40 year record fighting income inequality

As a Goldwater Girl or a Walmart Corp Lawyer

1. Oh there will be more n/t

[zazen]

2. yeah, moving those welfare moms from "dependency to dignity"

because being poor and staying home taking care of their kids was "dignified." Working minimum wage while your kids stay home unsupervised is much wiser.

UGH.

3. That was The Big Whopper, straight out.

[winter is coming]

5. I guess she misspoke and forgot to include the word "for". n/t

[Fumesucker]

6. She's been fighting income inequality by making sure she isn't poor

7. "As a Goldwater Girl".....in 1986?

[Docreed2003]

9. 40 years would be 1976 not 86.

Still 12 years off from the Goldwater era. FYI, I'm a Sanders supporter who appreciates your posts. You bring intelligence and civility to debates that often have neither in these forums.

[brooklynite]

10. I'd be careful saying that...I'd hate to taint you.

[Docreed2003]

12. Lmao...I think I can take it.

I might lurk a lot on these threads, but I do pay attention. I think I'm level headed enough to appreciate your civility in your posts and your reasoned responses, even if we might disagree. Hell, if we can't do those things then we're doomed after the primaries. There's so much vitriol and bile being flung around here that I figured a decent olive branch would be a change of pace for tonight!

13. Ask FactCheck

Q: Did Hillary Clinton work for Goldwater?

A: She was a high-school Young Republican and "Goldwater Girl" in 1964 but swung to supporting Democrat Eugene McCarthy’s campaign in 1968 and George McGovern’s in 1972.

FULL ANSWER


"I wasn’t born a Democrat," Hillary Rodham Clinton writes on page one of her autobiography, "Living History."

She grew up in Park Ridge, Ill., a Republican suburb of Chicago, and describes her father, Hugh Rodham Jr., as a "rock-ribbed, up-by-your-bootstraps, conservative Republican and proud of it" (page 11). Her 9th-grade history teacher was also a very conservative Republican who encouraged her to read Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater’s 1960 book, "Conscience of a Conservative," which inspired Clinton to write a term paper on the American conservative movement.

11. She was NOT Walmart's lawyer. STOP EXAGERATING!!!

She was a member of their board of directors for 6 years though.

14. She was, however, a corporate lawyer for a firm that had Wal-Mart as a client

And one of her first cases with the Rose Law Firm was to defend Arkansas electric utilities against ACORN and residential ratepayers.
