Clinton Myth: “They do it too.”

Like the pathological liar that is the first person to accuse everyone else of lying, since the Clinton Campaign has begun their “kitchen sink” strategy, every time they get called on anything their response is “Obama does it too.”

But here are the Facts: Let’s start with the “dirty campaigning” incidents. It was Bill Clinton that made racial remarks by repeatedly bringing up Jesse Jackson during the South Carolina Primary. It was the Clinton Campaign that released the picture of Obama in a Kenyan tribal costume. It was Hillary that made implications concerning Louis Farrakhan. It was Hillary Clinton that purposely and carefully phrased her answers to the “Muslim” question to leave doubt. It was a Clinton staffer Geraldine Ferraro that claimed Obama was “Lucky because he is black.” It was Bill Clinton that carefully and purposely implied that Hillary and McCain were the only two in the race that “loved their country,” then clearly mentioned “other things” once again implying the “race issue.” It was Hillary advisor James Carville that called Bill Richardson “Judas.”

Compare that to the accusations of “Dirty Campaigning” in the Obama campaign. One of the Obama staff called her a “monster.” Ohhhh mean, gasp, how awful. Another local Iowa supporter mentioned the “blue dress.”

Now how did each campaign handle it? Samantha Powers was gone the next day, the blue dress comment was gone off the guys local blog in less then a day. Clinton’s campaign had Ferraro resign almost a week later and everyone else is still with the campaign and no apologies have followed.

What amazes me is the main stream media keeps speaking as if both campaigns have gone dirty, when the fact is, Obama has taken the high road and Hillary has wallowed in the mud on a daily basis.

Lets talk about lies. Hillary has exaggerated her record on everything from SCHIP, to Northern Ireland, lied about her support for NAFTA, and told a fantastic lie about her trip to Bosnia. Her accusations concerning Obama’s honesty?

She claimed his staff gave Canada a wink and no worries on NAFTA, one problem it was her campaign that did that. But today’s was priceless. She claimed he lied about his position as a professor when he was running for State Senate. It’s true his title is lecturer he is not a tenured Professor. When in college did you call the man or woman at the front of the room “lecturer” or “professor?”

The truth is clearly that the Clinton campaign is being called on numerous cheap shots, lies and misstatements. The Obama campaign has been run with class, honesty and integrity. Which traits do you want in a President?

Hillary: Busted!!

The main stream media picked up Hillary's flat out lie about her trip to Bosnia that was first reported in a number of blogs including this one. Today in an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News Editorial Board she had this to say:

"Now let me tell you what I can remember, OK -- because what I was told was that we had to land a certain way and move quickly because of the threat of sniper fire. So I misspoke -- I didn't say that in my book or other times but if I said something that made it seem as though there was actual fire -- that's not I was told. I was told we had to land a certain way, we had to have our bulletproof stuff on because of the threat of sniper fire. I was also told that the greeting ceremony had been moved away from the tarmac but that there was this 8-year-old girl and, I can't, I can't rush by her, I've got to at least greet her -- so I made a -- I took her stuff and then I left, Now that's my memory of it."

Umm yea. Apparently her staff hasn't told her we all saw the video of what really happened.

Honesty is the most important trait in a President, Hillary is not qualified to be President.

What happened in Bosnia? (Shame on Hillary:7)

This is the story Hillary Clinton told of her trip to Tuzla.

"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

Here is the video of what actually happened.



This was more then exaggeration this is a flat out lie.

Honesty is the most important trait in a President, Hillary is not qualified to be President.

Hillary on Michigan (Shame on Hillary: 6)

Today Hillary went to Detroit to tell the voters of Michigan how important it was their votes counted and to blame Obama for not valuing the voters in Michigan.

But on October 10 she said this in and interview on New Hampshire Public Radio concerning the Michigan Primary.

"It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything."

Apparently since Hillary is losing they became a lot more important. Changing the rules of the game because your losing is called cheating.

Honesty is the most important trait in a President. Hillary is not qualified to be President.

Shame on Hillary: Part 5

In my ongoing passion for truth and exposing the dishonesty of Hillary Clinton and her Campaign, this is the 5th in a series pointing out lies, misstatements and exaggerations made by her and her campaign.

S-Chip: Hillary has stated a number of times that she “Helped to start” and “in 1997, I joined forces with members of Congress and we passed the State Children's Health Insurance Program.” Turns out that this is another Clinton exaggeration at best a complete lie at worst.

The Boston Globe reported today that a number of members of Congress who were actually involved in the bill are fuming over her “exaggerations.” The bill in reality was introduced by Senator Ted Kennedy and was met with resistance from the Clinton White House not support.

Senator Orin Hatch said, "We all care about children. But does she deserve credit for SCHIP? No - Teddy does, but she doesn't."


Henry Waxman of California said, “It was a bipartisan bill. I don't remember the role of the White House…It did not originate at the White House.”

Johnathan Alter of Newsweek and MSNBC commented that, the Globe story is consistent with what he has been told privately by lawmakers who are quite upset by her exaggerations on her role in S-Chip.

Once again proof she has a falsified resume. Most companies consider this grounds for firing.

Honesty is the most important trait in a President, Hillary is not qualified to be President.

Shame on Hillary: Part 4

Ferraro Gate: Geraldine Ferraro after her outrageous repeated comments, resigned today not because she thought she did anything wrong, but in defiance claiming the Obama campaign called her a racist. One problem, no one in the Obama campaign called her a racist. In fact they were about the only people in the country who didn’t. Did Hillary apologize for this Ferraro mess? Of course not.

Michigan and Florida: Hillary today said, “those primaries were fair and the votes should count.” Fair to whom? Surely not to the voters of Michigan and Florida who were told in advance that those primaries were beauty contests and wouldn’t count. Not to the many who didn’t bother to vote because of that reason. Not to the candidates that did not even campaign there. The Michigan primary didn’t even have Obama on the ballot. Changing the rules because your losing is called, cheating.

Honesty is the most important trait in a President. Hillary is not qualified to be President.

Shame on Hillary: Part 3

This is the 3rd in a series of articles pointing out the complete disregard for the truth by Hillary Clinton and her campaign. After George W. Bush we cannot have another dishonest President.

Obama and the Energy bill in 2005: Hillary yesterday in Pennsylvania stated that Obama voted for “Dick Cheney’s” energy bill in 2005. She went on to state this gave tax breaks to Oil companies and stifled the research and development in renewable energy.

The characterization of this bill is totally false. First it raised taxes on oil companies and was the best legislation ever passed by the Congress to increase the investment and research into renewable energy.

Repeats false charges on NAFTA/Canada gate: She continues to repeat the lie in the George Bush style of say a lie often enough perhaps people will believe it. Neither Obama nor any advisor told the Canadian Government anything that has been inconsistent with his position as expressed repeatedly. It was the Clinton campaign that contacted the Canadian government to tell them to take the political rhetoric with “a grain of salt.” It was Hillary who has been completely inconsistent on this issue. Her husband signed NAFTA. She spoke out for it you can see the video for yourself in my post “the Truth on NAFTA” of March 3rd.

“In on the Discussions” in Northern Ireland: Hillary has claimed she was “In on the Discussions” in Northern Island. Lord David Trimble who shared the Nobel Peace Prize for actually being an important negotiator in bringing peace to Northern Island said, “I think it’s a wee bit silly for exaggerating the part she played…..Being a Cheerleader for something is slightly different then being a principle player…..She had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland.” Once again falsification of her resume.

Diplomatic mission to Bosnia: Hillary has listed her mission to Bosnia as foreign policy experience. She did go to Bosnia her “diplomatic” team included Sinbad and Sheryl Crow. Since when is a USO show a diplomatic mission.

Hillary “Huckabee” Clinton continues to repeat lies, half-truths and misinformation in a desperate attempt to keep her personal ambitions alive. This country cannot afford another dishonest President. For the good of the country and the party, it’s time for the super-delegates and the party leaders to send her the message that it is over.

Honesty is the most important quality in a President; Hillary is not qualified to be President.
