Alternatively you could just look up the quotes and discover the context in which they were used, the reality is that you could make up similar lists for anyone (Doesn't even have to be a politician), all you have to do is take fragments of their statements and remove the unnecessary context.

To validate my point I give this:

Now I understand some people don't like her hell even I wouldn't vote for her but if you are going to attempt character assassination at least attempt to ensure your argument is accurate otherwise you do your own an injustice.

I assumed once I got to number 4 that this would turn into Bush bashing. I would like to address two statements. Number 5 and number 6. Number 5 is probably in reference to health insurance or some other somewhat limited area of the economy where many people are calling for government standardization and number 6 is probably referring to the oil companies in the post Katrina mayhem where oil companies reached ungodly high profits.


Please note that 98% of what I say is my opinion and/or my "version" of the facts. Most of what I say is rumor with little to no evidence to back it up, just something I picked up somewhere.
