Hillary’s List Of Lies

thehill.com — The USA Today/Gallup survey clearly explains why Hillary Clinton is losing. Asked whether the candidates were “honest and trustworthy,” John McCain won with 67%, with Barack Obama close right behind him at 63%. Hillary scored only 44%, the lowest rating for any candidate for any attribute in the poll. Hillary simply cannot tell the truth.....

    • She didn’t know about the FALN pardons.
    • She didn’t know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
    • Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
    • She didn’t know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.

    • She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.

    • sportzgirl916, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2This country is so screwed. At least I can say I wanted Ron Paul...
      • RealmDown, on 03/27/2008, -2/+1Your approval of screwage is noted.
  • Iconoclast25, on 03/27/2008, -2/+9The next time either clintoon tells the truth will be the first such event in their lives.
    • RealmDown, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Heh. So, they were lying when they admitted to lying ?
  • Troika37, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5And yet the media have slathered these on with such regularity that it's unsurprising she would believe she could get away with anything now.
  • Ridgeliner7, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6The Clinton's know what Goebbels knew: Tell a lie enough times, and make it big enough, more people will believe it than not. Supporters do anyway, because they are invested in wanting it all to be true.
  • itzdiceman, on 03/27/2008, -3/+0"Hillary simply cannot tell the truth"
    She can't tell the truth because a poll taken about what people think says so. There is no link to this poll in the article and it's not anywhere on USA Today(feel free to reply and link it, maybe its only in hardcopy?).
  • Kent4jmj, on 03/27/2008, -2/+4Of possible interest. If you like the platform stay tuned for their convention in April. The nominee Will be on the Ballot Nov 4th.
    They are cut from the same Cloth as Ron Paul.

    Seven Principles of the Constitution Party are:
    1. Life: For all human beings, from conception to natural death;
    2. Liberty: Freedom of conscience and actions for the self-governed individual;
    3. Family: One husband and one wife with their children as divinely instituted;
    4. Property: Each individual's right to own and steward personal property without government burden;
    5. Constitution: and Bill of Rights interpreted according to the actual intent of the Founding Fathers;
    6. States' Rights: Everything not specifically delegated by the Constitution to the federal government is reserved for the state and local jurisdictions;
    7. American Sovereignty: American government committed to the protection of the borders, trade, and common defense of Americans, and not entangled in foreign alliances.
    • saska, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2"as divinely instituted"

      Hard to be constitutional when your central tenets depend on Biblical backup.
      • Kent4jmj, on 03/27/2008, -2/+2Are you uninformed or just plain dumb? Any constitutional scholar of any integrity will tell you that our country was founded by men who believed we were.

        "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.."

        Once independence was won the Constitution was written. It was written because of these values. The tenets of the constitution do depend, in large part, on the Bible. Not to recognize that is a reflection of your ignorance.
        • saska, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1"The dumb" is in thinking that you can throw out the separation of church and state in order to reverse existing Supreme Court rulings in your basic tents. "The dumb" is in not recognizing that in your list of party values.
          • Kent4jmj, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1No. Dumb is not knowing what the true meaning of "separation of Church and State" really means and where it came from.

            The phrase "wall of separation between the church and the state" was originally coined by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury Baptists on January 1, 1802. His purpose in this letter was to assuage the fears of the Danbury, Connecticut Baptists, and so he told them that this wall had been erected to protect them. The metaphor was used exclusively to keep the state out of the church's business, not to keep the church out of the state's business.

            The metaphor was used exclusively to keep the state out of the church's business, not to keep the church out of the state's business. !!!


            The constitution states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Both the free exercise clause and the establishment clause place restrictions on the government concerning laws they pass or interfering with religion. No restrictions are placed on religions except perhaps that a religious denomination cannot become the state religion.

            Both the free exercise clause and the establishment clause place restrictions on the government concerning laws they pass or interfering with religion. !!!
          • BigManOnCampus, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1"Both the free exercise clause and the establishment clause place restrictions on the government concerning laws they pass or interfering with religion. !!!"

            Indeed, that sounds exactly like separation of church and state to me. If the government cannot pass laws interfering with religion, they cannot involve themselves in affecting it's worship at all.
        • BigManOnCampus, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4While it is true that the constitution was framed by men who attended church. It is also true that nearly all of the major players who would later go on to lead this country in its infancy regarded organized religion and beliefs in god as bad for humanity, and a tool used by the evil on the weak. There are fantastic quotes from Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, etc.. to this effect.
        • Kent4jmj, on 03/27/2008, -2/+1Neither one of you have refuted my posts. you keep dodging the fact that our founders used specific language that recognized the right and sovereignty of the Creator, that our rights come from the Creator and that the Separation of Church and State was a metaphor coined by Jefferson, not the Constitution, to calm the fears of Christians who were worried about the Government infringing on their FREEDOM!

          As for quotes they can be taken out of context to spin an agenda. My quote, however, is in context and is irrefutable. Jefferson said that the Wall was there to Protect Religion. Not the other way around.

          The accuracy of the analysis that the two clauses in the constitution was to limit government and not religion is also irrefutable.
          • BigManOnCampus, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2I don't recall any language in the constitution that recognizes rights or sovereignty of a creator being. Mostly it's about human rights.

            Separation of church and state may have been a political metaphor to get people on board. That changes nothing of what Jefferson himself thought of religion, which was frankly nearly athiest. If you honestly think a man like that wanted laws passed that preferred one religions definition of decency and right over another, you are very much misunderstanding what it means to have freedom of religion. That is what separation of church and state is, it is not simply some metaphor from the 1700's. It is the guarantee that civil laws will not forbid actions and restrict freedoms in preference to one way of life to the detriment of another, save such laws that guarantee rights already stated in the constitution are preserved.
          • Kent4jmj, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1In the Declaration Rights are endowed by the Creator in the Constitution it does not need to be explicitly stated it is already a given. The historical context of that age and the majority of those who participated make it abundantly clear that the Constitution was frames in a Judeo Christian framework with full knowledge of what had been written in the Declaration. Jefferson and the couple of other Deists do not represent the majority. They were a minority and therefor their views are not normative.

            As for metaphor, it is exactly that, as is clearly seen if one looks at the source, Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists. You seem unable to do that.

            You can distort the history with all the revisionist spin you want. You may even be in the majority who hold these views but I know it is wrong based on facts. Facts you have not been able to refute.
            The founders recognized the Creator, a minority were "deists" which only goes to support the fact that we were a Christian Nation because obviously the majority of the founders were. Man's rights ultimately come from the Creator. And Jefferson's metaphor did come from his letter to the Baptists in which he very clearly said that our new form of Government would stay the hell out of the business of Religion.
  • Ianki, on 03/27/2008, -2/+2The first one on the list isn't true, Clinton never said that and a quick google search on that will give you the real quotes and such. This recent backlash reminds me of when the press crucified gore for claiming he invented the internet and was the basis of love story, when in fact he said neither thing but the press went ***** crazy anyways and continued to misquote him like a giant game of telephone.

    She deserves to be called out on the Bosnia thing since she said it several times, and each in prepared remarks, but lets not let zeal get the best of us, eh?
  • BigManOnCampus, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1Wait, this is a joke right, Hillary really didn't say this, did she?

    "Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)"

    I wouldn't have believed that if she were standing in front of me telling me that. She must have some mental condition to compulsively lie.
  • Aitese, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1This isn't on the list either...she's trying to take credit for three other senators legislation that she merely supported:
