Hillary in '08...why not? I could use a good laugh.

I have to admit, although I adamantly disagree with Hillary Clinton’s politics, she makes for an entertaining public figure. I hope she runs for President in ’08, at the very least it will make for lots of laughs. This article is a must-read for those who enjoy the occasional chuckle at Hillary’s expense. I have some highlights below.

Hillary Clinton weighed in on the immigration reform debate recently by accusing the House Republicans of passing a bill that would "criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself." Hillary also opined that the House bill "flew in the face" of Republicans’ stated support for faith and values.

Faith and values? Hillary Clinton is talking about faith and values? Here are a few highlights of Ms. Clinton’s track record. Read them…several times, and then you decide if she should be criticizing others for lack of faith and values.

"The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation."

Response by Hillary to a constituent who expressed concern over being forced into a government-run health-care plan: "It’s time to put the common good, the national interest, ahead of individuals."

Explanation to wealthy donors regarding her support for repealing the Bush tax cuts: "Many of you are well enough off that [the] tax cuts may have helped you. We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Of the many women who have reported having sexual encounters with Bill Clinton (forced or otherwise): "These women are all trash. Nobody’s going to believe them."

At an event with preschoolers at the governor’s mansion as first lady of Arkansas Mother Clinton was overheard on the intercom system saying, "I want to get this s--- over with and get these damn people out of here."

She was certainly quick enough to demand that taxpayers fund a pool for the governor’s mansion while first "lady" of Arkansas.

This are but a few of the many priceless quotes from Clinton that will make her potential run for office a feeding frenzy. Please run, Ms Clinton. I could always use some good blog material.

I don't want to see Hillary run as I don't agree with much of her politics and don't particularly like her so much (although, she's better than Bill, it seems).

Having said that, I must question your suggestion that most of the quotes you provide are anti-faith and values (I'm assuming you mean the Christian faith, here)?

"The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation."

You DO understand, don't you, that capitalism is not endorsed in Jesus' teachings and an unfettered free-market can at times be anti-Christian? Are you familiar with the Bible's teachings on economics at all?

Here's more good material:

I have just written about TEXAS LIGHTNING, a German country band, which will represent our country at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Contrary to popular belief, many Germans love cowboys, country music and Texas! And more and more Americans love soccer and will watch the World Cup next month. => German-American relations are finally improving again.

Since you are part of the Texas Connection, I thought you might be interested in my blog post, which includes the Texas Lightning music video:
