MTP Hillary: "John Edwards has said fiscal responsibility is not a priority of his"

Hillary Supporters, I challenge you to post the exact quote with link that John Edwards said this. If you can't find it than Hillary is a LIAR!

She is playing very Repukelike

When you can't run against the opponent you have, run against the opponent you create with lies.

I don't have a link, but I remember him saying something like this.

He was talking about Katrina (repairing the Gulf Coast), fixing our infrastructure, schools, college affordability, health care, etc. He was talking about finally doing things to help the citizens of this country. And he said he knows he can't do these things and balance the budget at the same time; and in the beginning helping our citizens would be his priority.

I wonder if Hillary has a different definition of "fiscal responsibility"?

corporate donors.

I suspect Edwards has a priority list that includes ending the war and poverty where Edwards did not mention fiscal responsibility. So if this was the case Hillary done a complete distortion, if not an out right lie.

Can people stop helping her now?

I think he also said look what happened to Bill Clinton - he balanced the Budget and the republicans when they got into office went into debt so the American people received nothing of benefit long term.

the people.

Indeed I agree with that statement - I also like his cutting defense spending, etc. He is the most left after DK.

Bill & Hill are apparently willing to say or do anything to get back in The White House.
ANYTHING.
:puke:

Looks like it was A LIE!

it's sort of like the telephone game--when each person tells the story to the next, it changes a little. Here is an article from EJ Dionne, posted at Edwards' site, but it does not quote him directly. My recollection is like that of one of the other posters on this thread, Diamonique, that he said it would be impossible given the disaster that Bush has made of things, for any President to both balance the budget initially and to fund some things that he sees as immediate priorities, and that he would be honest enough to tell us that bad news. At the same time, he also is more upfront than some other candidates in describing how he would pay for some of his priorities, including tax increases. But in the longer run, he wants to have a balanced budget. So, IMHO, any candidate who wants to challenge his comments on the budget needs to explain how s/he would fund his/her priorities and whether a balanced budget would ensue.

"So far, Edwards is the Democrat who has taken risks, by endorsing tax increases and saying that a balanced budget is less of a priority for him than universal health coverage and energy development. He also gave an important, little-noticed speech a couple of weeks ago calling on the United States to take the lead in fighting global poverty."

He didn't say it wasn't a priority.

Hillary's distorting reality to her own benefit.

And given all the distortion that's been rampant lately, I'd like to hear it in its full context.

He didn't say it wasn't a priority.

Hillary's distorting reality to her own benefit.

"universal health coverage and energy development."

A total distortion and out right lie by Hillary.

Love the debates.

you might be accused of pulling some "card" or doing some sort of "baiting" for calling out Sen. Clinton on something.
