Hillary Lies ALL the time.Nothing New.
Lied about 9/11.Said Daughter Chelsea was jogging around the
World Trade Towers the morning of 9/11.
In fact she was sleeping.
I think Hillary could win big in Pa.
Then mabye take Indiana and N.Carolina.
That would give her the lead in Popular Vote.
I don't want the Bama,to win,because he's an outted " Seperatist ".
He's NOT Foolin Us Whites,No Mores.
I meanie...any more.

It's been said of her,and I firmly believe that She'll Literally DO
ANYTHING to win her way to the White House...Again.

All she need do is Regularly appear on Fox News.
Do Greta,and Hannity and O'Reilly factor.
Redo them every month.
This wood boat affirm her mettle,as well cut the muster.

The difference is that Republicans and Conservatives don't believe in government and they think the government is the enemy, so when somene from the government lies to them, they are not suprised, even when it is someone from their own party.

Liberals and Democrats, on the other hand, believe in government and believe in Democracy, so they do not like being lied to, especially by someone who is supposedly on their side.

So you are pro lying, as long as you see it as a "small" lie? And lets not mix this up with the WMD thing. Bush thought they had them, so did a lot of people. Being wrong does not make you a liar. I am quite sure Hillary didnt really think she had to run from the plane under Serbian Sniper fire. That is not something that you just happen to forget didnt happen.

We think the government is ful of liars because it is. Just look at the two Democrat frontrunners. Both are having a hard time keeping all of their lies straight. Look at George Bush, says he is for freedom for all the people of the world yet doesn't have the balls to stand up to China over Tibet. There is a reason politician has become a dirty word in our society, and it is not just some sterotype. If you want to have faith in government go ahead. I wil put my faith in my own abilities and the abilities of those I associate myself with.

Yes,thats the true bottom line.That Hillary is so casual with Lying
and given a free ride from the press.That's where this little conundrum
went wrong for her.She { Hillary } is NO longer the Liberal Favorite.
I think even the Liberal media has thoroughly exhausted themselves
over the years,COVERING for these Clintons.I just learned Via Dick
Morris the other nite that Chelsea is a Little liar,in waiting ta boot.
Her mommy was handed a Lie,obviously handed to her from Chelsea
that She { Chelsea } was Jogging the morning of 9/11 in the vicinity

Actually the real story about this latest Hillary outting is a
dynamic of narrative.
She is on the outs.The major media no longer wants her to
keep her hat in the ring.She's a troublemaker,NOW for the Liberals.
Which is a real Hoot.
I think we're actually seein History made.
A Spoiled brat,Priviledged Carpetbagger,who just casually plays

A buddy of mine (recently retired Army Apache pilot) was Air Mission Commander (AMC) for the helicopter air cover provided to Mrs. Clinton during her visit to Bosnia.

He and I spoke on the phone the other day when this story broke.
He snorted at her account of the day.

Doug reported that the visit was a boring, routine day-long dog & pony show, and that there were no threats to Mrs. Clinton and her entourage whatsoever.

No sniper activity in the nearby hills, no threats of violence, nothing.


That she lied, again, is no big story.
That she believes the voting American public is so incredibly stupid as to believe her lies is also nothing new.

I find nothing interesting here worth debating.

The difference between what GWB said and what HRC said is the difference between telling something based on false and telling a bald faced lie.

George Bush based his assertion that Saddam Hussein had WMDs on information gathered and reported by major intelligence gathering organizations of not only the United States but of European nations. In retrospect the information was found to be wrong.

Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, knew she was lying on all the occassions in which she said she had come under sniper fire. She told the lie in order to make it seem she was much more adept in the field of foreign diplomacy than Barack Obama. It was a lie told to bolster her foreign policy credentials.

This is not the first lie Ms. Clinton has been caught in. Lies slip from her tongue all too easily. She lies about important things and she lies about mundane things.

She lied about being named after Sir Edmund Hillary.

She lied about her involvement with the Whitehouse Travel Agency firings.

She lied about where Chelsea was on the morning of 9/11.

She lied about being the first person to call the events in Darfur genocide.

She lied about helping bring peace to Northern Ireland.

She lied about helping start the federal Children's Health Insurance Program.

Hillary Clinton is an inveterate liar.

Might be more accurate to say the Democrats have d-o-n-e themselves in... again. To pull their party together at this point seems highly unlikely. Too bad. It would be nice to have an election where there actually was a 'worthy opponent' for a change.

*********************************

If McCain vs. Obama, 28% of Clinton Backers Go for McCain

If McCain vs. Clinton, 19% of Obama backers go for McCain

March 26, 2008, PRINCETON, NJ -- A sizable proportion of Democrats would vote for John McCain next November if he is matched against the candidate they do not support for the Democratic nomination. This is particularly true for Hillary Clinton supporters, more than a quarter of whom currently say they would vote for McCain if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee.

It's interesting how often the Democrats manage to completely fuck up their chances. McCain looks better and better for me every day...if he'd just reverse his damn Iraq stance, I'd be willing to vote for the guy, maybe. But staying in Iraq is complete anathema to me: I'm tired of the economy being fucked due in no small part to our horrific debt.

It's looking more and more like I'll be casting a vote for the Libertarian Party candidate...if either of the two major parties wants me as a voter, they really need to clean up their acts. Oh well, it's not like my vote counts or anything, since I live in a solidly blue state.

Mr McCain has vowed to continue with Bush's policies in his so-called

Maybe you should actually read McCain's point of view (http://www.johnmccain.com/undecided/whymccain.htm)instead of listening to reports from his opponents. I don't like the idea of continuing the war in Iraq anymore than the next person, but his rationale is sound and he's right about one thing... he IS the most experienced person to handle the situation. I shudder to think of the possible ramifications to WORLD peace if we just pull out to satisfy a campaign promise to end the war without giving thought to the consequences.

America faces a dangerous, relentless enemy in the War against Islamic Extremists - We face an enemy that has repeatedly attacked us and remains committed to killing Americans and the destruction of our values. This election is about who is best prepared to lead and defend our nation and its global allies as Commander-in-Chief from day one. This election is about making sure we have the experienced leadership to guide us to victory in this war, protect the nation against future terrorist attacks, and support our troops and first responders who are on the frontlines of the war. This election will decide whether we choose to fight or announce surrender. It will decide whether we have a president who dangerously weakens U.S. security or strengthens it; whether we will flinch and retreat or fully engage the enemy on multiple fronts. We need decisive leadership with the vision and experience to guide our country and the world through this challenge. Having a courageous Commander-in-Chief who is willing to lead us in this war, rally our democratic allies and defeat our enemy to secure a broader peace is what's at stake in this election.

Yes, they have. And they have by no means neglected Obama either. Don't forget the hatchet job the dishonest pukes from the Right are trying to pull on him.

But then, it's what they do. It's all they have. They're like a cross between lemming and a rabid attack dog that salivates and snarls on command as soon as any of the (thoroughly dishonest) ReichWing talking heads concoct the latest bullshit criticism (Obama's preacher being a prime example) of the Democratic candidates.

The hypocrisy is truly off the charts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Situation; The radical black separatist and closet revolutionary, Jeremiah Wright, the "spiritual adviser" to Obama made some statements that were divisive and/or hateful and/or racist.

Reaction from the ConservaZombie faction; "Aha!, it is an inescapable conclusion that Obama and Wright are like two peas in a pod philosophically. Obama believes exactly the same things and holds the very same views as Reverend Wright. Ergo, Obama must be divisive and racist and he hates the USA!".

Situation; The kindly and patriotic (and white) man of God, Rod Parsley, the "spiritual adviser" to McCain, made some statements that were divisive and/or hateful and/or racist.

Reaction from the ConservaZombie faction: "Aww.....McCain only called Parsley a "spiritual adviser", he didn't actually state for the record that he was his spiritual adviser. Huuuge difference. And I don't care what the videotapes show, the Reverend Parsley has never in his life said anything the slightest bit incendiary or hateful or racist. And besides, McCain doesn't actually like these religious nutcases who have vowed their support for him, he's just cynically using them to gain votes from the religious people in America. So there!".

You have just admitted you would vote for the Democrats BECAUSE THEY AREN'T REPUBLICANS. Talk about voting a party line.

He has also sat in a church pew for over twenty years listening to his personal preacher and personal friend spout anti-American crap without a word of protest.

Hillary Clinton is a proven liar and someone who like Obama is far to the left of the general electorate. One of her prime desires is to institute national health care, something that many of us are against.

Both Obama and Clinton are left wing, populists,. I personally don't like populists and I despise left wing, populists, yet you think that I should vote for one of them to avoid being accused of blindly voting the Republican ticket.

Get real, Paul and stop trying to tar everyone who is going to vote for McCain as some brain dead zombie whose only goal is to pull the Republican lever on election day.

I'll give you the first bit, I can see that myself.

However, whats makes McCain so special.
All politicians tell lies, thats what makes them politicians.

Im sure all 3 sit in church on a Sunday morning listening to their preacher.

The difference being, McCain will continue were Bush left off, more or less.
Were has 8 years gotten America or the World for that matter-fucken nowhere.

That's really deep. I think you're pretty much right... People saying "McCain has strongly hinted at war with Iran!", well neither Obama nor Hillary will "rule it out"... They're all ruthless panderers.

Paul, While John McCain is not my ideal candidate I feel he is better than either of the two Democrats. I am pro-NAFTA. I am anti-national health care. I am anti-higher taxation and pro-tax cuts. I am pro a strong national defense. John McCain is closer to my positions than either Obama or Clinton.

Of course in your opinion that makes me somehow brain dead because after all, John McCain is a REPUBLICAN.

I was first eligible to vote in a presidential election in 1964. During the intervening years I have not found a Democrat whose platform I prefered to his Republican opponent's.

Had I been able, I would have voted for Truman.

Since Republicans are generally more in tune with my political philosophy why on Earth would I vote for a Democrat? If there were an election in which the Democrat was more in alignment with my political philosophy I would have no hesitation in voting for him/her.

Paul, I truely hope you are naive because if you aren't you are as dumb as a stone. Republicans aren't the ones assassinating either Clinton or Obama. The two of them are assassinating each other. The Republicans are simply sitting back, enjoying the show.

The Democrats are following the same script they follow every four years, a script that leads to self destruction.

It is great reading a European perspective on our elections but if you want to comment on them it might behoove you to do a bit of reading about what is actually happening. You seem so anti-Republican that you ascribe every evil in the world to them.

What if The Dems are hog-tied and have no clear winner come

You seem unable to fathom that some of us honestly think John McaCain is the best of the three choices we have been given.
This may be somewhat off-topic, but is there any reason you have to vote for a Democrat or a Republican? I've been losing interest in voting for my previous favorite of the three, Obama, and if it comes down to it and I can't, in good conscience, vote for him, I'm not tossing a vote to McCain just because I don't like the other guy. I'll be voting Libertarian if I don't like either of the bowls of shit the major parties serve us.

Further Debunking the 'War Zone' Myth

Thursday, March 27, 2008; A08



The Clinton campaign has cited newspaper accounts, including one in The Washington Post, to bolster the senator's claim that her now-famous March 1996 trip to Bosnia was the first visit to a "war zone" by a first lady since World War II. She is overlooking a trip to Saigon by Pat Nixon at the height of the Vietnam War as well as a trip by Barbara Bush to Saudi Arabia two months before the Persian Gulf War began.

THE FACTS

Just because something has appeared in a newspaper does not mean that is entirely accurate. The Clinton camp has circulated a March 26, 1996, quote from a Post article describing Clinton's Bosnia trip as "the first time since Roosevelt that a first lady has voyaged to a potential combat zone." The article went on to say that "other first ladies have visited troops abroad but never in front-line positions," citing the examples of Bush and Nixon.

How these factoids got into the Post story is unclear, but they offer a somewhat misleading picture of the relative risks being run by the three first ladies. By almost any measure, the Nixon trip to Saigon in July 1969 should surely count as the most dangerous of the three visits. Unlike Bosnia in March 1996 and Saudi Arabia in November 1990, South Vietnam was an actual, not "potential," war zone in the aftermath of the 1968 Tet offensive, said retired Army Lt. Col. Gene Boyer, the Nixons' chief helicopter pilot.

"This was a combat mission," Boyer said yesterday, noting that more than 2,000 U.S. helicopter pilots were shot down and killed in Vietnam. "There were no front lines. Everything outside of Saigon was a war zone."

The picture at right shows Boyer grabbing Pat Nixon's arm to pull her out of the way of the tail-rotor blades after landing his helicopter on the lawn of the presidential palace in Saigon. He had just flown the first lady to a field hospital north of Saigon to visit wounded American servicemen. "We saturated the air with a lot of helicopters and other stuff, which decreased the risk. It was a very secret mission. We went in determined that nothing would leak."

Boyer had spent three or four days in Saigon before the Nixons' arrival, planning the trip and assessing the risks. The itinerary was changed at the last moment, just in case word had leaked out to the Viet Cong. To reduce the risk from machine-gun fire, Boyer made almost vertical landings and takeoffs from above 1,500 feet.

In the meantime, Clinton's claims about a "corkscrew" landing in Tuzla, Bosnia, have been challenged by the pilot who commanded the C-17 that flew her from Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Speaking in a radio interview on the "Rusty Humphries Show," retired Air Force Col. William "Goose" Changose said that he did not undertake any kind of "evasive" maneuver on the approach to Tuzla, and that the only reason the descent was a little steeper than normal was because there were hills around.

"Not only were there no bullets flying around, there wasn't a bumblebee flying around," Changose recalled.

THE PINOCCHIO TEST

There would seem little more to debunk about Clinton's adventures in Bosnia. But it is worth correcting the record about Pat Nixon's visit to Vietnam in July 1969. I have already assigned the maximum four Pinocchios to Clinton for her Tuzla tale.

Ditto what Frogger said, Borg. I've also voted for third party candidates in the past. But while it felt good while I was in the booth marking my ballot, I felt rather left out when the election results started coming in... like I'd wasted my vote. The last few elections, I admit to voting more against a specific candidate than for the one I chose.

Like I said earlier, it would be wonderful for both parties to come up with what the majority of Americans could consider 'worthy opponents' for a change. Don't hold your breath til that happens, though. You could turn as blue as Illinois.

As for the dubbyas lie about WMD's, he may not have known whether they had them or not, but he certainly knew they had no way to deliver them to a range of more than a couple hundred miles. He knew that they were no threat to us or any of our allies.

I'm not sure. I'd let the economic experts handle that one... In general I would prefer very little interference in the economy, but that certainly doesn't mean NO interference at all.

As far as the mortgage crisis, I believe McCain has said that anyone who has been taken advantage of should be helped by the government, others no. Sounds logical to me.
