did she really refuse to meet with the "gold star mothers" when they made a trip to NY?
did she really say "nurses are nothing more than glorified waitresses and we should do away with the profession"???
i just got an email about this and i'm unsure about the validity of these points....could someone clarify for me and maybe guide me to where i can find info about these items.
thanks!

thanks for the snopes referral.
found the article and i'm glad it wasn't true. i figured there was more to it than that.
still wondering about the nurse comment, which i doubt is true.

NewsMax propaganda.

The statement about nurses is true... i do not recall the exact date however i do recall working on the med/surg floor and the overall feeling of despair... not long after that the patient to nurse ratios were reevaluated and the system for acuity given to a patient was restructured. then the nurses went from having 6-7 moderately heavy patients to 8-9 patients and some times very heavy patients. if i had the article , or the tape i would broadcast it from every station. If anyone does have a copy of this please share it with the world.

I'm not sure about her meeting with the "Gold Star Mothers," who, by the way, I don't know anything about but I'm assuming it's military-related (?).
As for the quote, Hillary is too smart to ever, ever, ever utter something like that. Whether she believed it or not. The woman's had to watch her back for eons now so I'm sure she's very thoughtful about any words that come out of her mouth.
I believe hardly anything that gets forwarded to me via e-mail.

There are legitimate and factually logical reasons to be against Hillary Clinton for president.
Those are probably things she said, but using them alone will make you look petty.
She is on record for saying much worse.

The swiftboating has begun. This is typical of the crap the GOP will spew out in the next couple of years. They never met a selfserving lie they didn't like.

If it is a chain email I would not believe it. It is hard to prove anything like that and unless the email provided sources I would just discredit it.
Also keep in mind she is a politician and that really doesnt sound like something a politician who is in the public eye would say or do.

Yes she did. But she said it when her husband Bill was the president. She was heading the health care change and it did get anywhere while Bill was in office. It was an article in the Pittsburgh newspaper. I was a nurse in the recovery room and we cut it out and hung it up so everyone could see it.

Go to http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/goldstar.asp
This answers the question about the Gold Star mothers and will probably have answers to similar questions.

I'm not sure why Senator Clinton would denigrate the nursing profession. That doesn't sound like something she would say, considering her stance on healthcare. It sounds like Republican propaganda.

It is BS propoganda that the closest they can come to substantiating it is a neo-con blog on an obscure website.
