Hillary - One of the Most Honest Politictians in Washington Today

[Kosh]

I voted Republican for years until they got into all this religious bullshit and going back to the good old days. If they ever come up with a decent candidate, I might swing back.

I agree with the ultra religious stuff. However, that does not make Hillary the most honest candidate. That is a hoot! Lol.

And why anyone with a brain should doubt this far left drones claims that they were once republican..

Well, I haven't had very many discussions with this particular poster, so I can only go on his words. I suppose I could ask him what I was asking Jake the Snake earlier, which republican party platforms does he agree with?

Well considering they support Obamacare, letting refugees in without vetting, supported Obama EO on immigration, etc. No one that was a true republican would ever support such things!

But sure why not ask!

They would and they have.
The first universal health plan was proposed by Nixon in 70's which included an employee mandate. He also proposed the formation of the EPA. Until the 1970's, there was a strong liberal coalition in the Republican Party. However, the conservative movement flushed all liberals out of the party. I prefer a party with a strong collation of both ideologies. I think we get more accomplished and better laws than the crap we have today. I believe being a true Republican or true Democrat should not mean you support only liberal or conservative ideas. There are times when the country should be passing a more liberal agenda and times when it should passing a a more conservative agenda.

Well you did not understand Nixon care and the democrats are far left now, so you have proven once again that you have always been far left!

Then you should look into 3rd party candidates instead of lying down and voting for Hillary.

Claims that Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar and innately untrustworthy is one the most interesting claims to come out of this election season. Indeed, for a surprisingly large percentage of the electorate, the claim that Hillary is innately dishonest is simply accepted as a given. It is an accusation and conviction so ingrained in the conversation about her that any attempt to even question it is often met with shock. And yet here’s the thing: it’s not actually true. Politifact, the Pulitzer prize-winning fact-checking project, determined for example that Hillary was actually the most truthful candidate (of either Party) in the 2016 election season. And in general Politifact has determined that Hillary is more honest than most (but not all) politicians they have tracked over the years.

In terms of honesty, Hillary is a politician, and like all politicians she is no stranger to “massaging” and exaggerating the truth. And yes on occasion she will let loose a whopper. But is she worse than other politicians? The evidence suggests that she is no worse, and actually better, than most other politicians. Internet videos like the “13 minutes of Hillary lying” appear to be mostly examples of Hillary changing her position over several decades, combined with annoying but typical political behavior. But similar videos of Donald Trump exist showing him doing an even more extreme version of the same thing. Why is he not being accused of this type of mendacity? In fact, there is very little dispute that Trump has been SIGNIFICANTLY less honest on the campaign trail than Hillary. According to Politifact he is in fact the least honest candidate they’ve ever analyzed! So if the issue of honesty is really that important, why are so many people holding Hillary to such an obviously different standard than Trump?

The latest attack on Hillary's honesty concerns the email investigation. Although the Director of FBI testified to the fact that he found no evidence of Hillary lying, her opposition has maintains otherwise claiming Hillary lied to FBI and lied to congress. I think anyone with an once of intelligence would realize that if there were any evidence of Hillary lying under oath, she would be facing charges of contempt of this Republican Congress or arrested for making false statements to the FBI.

By any objective measure Hillary Clinton is not just the most qualified candidate this season, she’s one of the most qualified people to ever seek the office. Even Marco Rubio, one-time choice of the GOP establishment (and tea-party love-child) stated in a Republican debate that, “If this is a resume contest, Hillary Clinton is going to be the new President of the United States.”

What exactly is ON Hillary Clinton's "resume"? That she was married to a President? That she was the Secretary of State who gave us the "reset" with Russia...a civil war in Syria...a dead Ambassador in Libya...Iran on the verge of getting a nuke...ISIS spreading terror throughout the Western world...? Or did you want to talk about her integrity? She lied to the families of the murdered Americans from Benghazi....she lied about coming under sniper fire in the Balkans...she lied about her emails...and most importantly...she's taken in millions from the well connected and foreign interests...money that she did her best to hide from the American people!

If you want a bought and paid for politician who won't change the status quo...then Clinton is your choice. Don't pretend you're getting anything else though, Flopper! Hillary Clinton puts the sleaze in sleazy!

Claiming Hillary Clinton is responsible for every vial act that occurred in world during the 5 years she was Secretary State is just plain silly and stupid.

You asked for Hillary's resume. It's a bit long but his summary:

* Graduated from Yale Law School
* Worked as staff of a U.S. Senate subcommittee
* Staff of the Presidential Impeachment Inquiry Commitee,
advising the U.S. House Judiciary Committee during the Nixon impeachment proceedings.

A popular meme on the right is that the former First Lady of Arkansas, former First Lady of the United States, former two-time Senator of the State of New York, and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is without accomplishments.

In the second GOP Debate, former 'worst American (or tech) CEO of all time', formerlosing California senate candidate, former failed charitable organization head, successful breast cancer survivor, and future losing presidential candidate, Carly Fiorina delivered a seemingly wincing blow to Secretary Clinton with the line, "If you want to stump a Democrat, ask them to name an accomplishment of Mrs. Clinton's" to thunderous applause in the hall and across the conservative media-verse.

Challenge accepted, Mrs Fiorina. I have compiled this list of Secretary Clinton's accomplishments below:

Are you smoking crack, Flopper? The Director of the FBI testified that Clinton lied repeatedly. Why she isn't facing contempt charges for the lies that she has told under oath is something that James Comey did a rather pathetic job of explaining.

FALSE:

Comey: WE HAVE NO BASIS TO CONCLUDE SHE LIED TO THE FBI.

You have only proven that Hillary is a privileged upper 1% first lady.

I don't really care if Hillary wins 5 Nobel Peace Prizes like Obama. Show me, as well as Obama, what they have done to deserve their positions and awards. What have they actually done in those positions? What has Hillary done as Secretary of State that is noteworthy other than the entire destruction of the Middle East?

Say, you don't work for Trump, do you?

 

[ClosedCaption]

Names and accusations are easy, proof is another thing altogether.

Hey dumb fuck, she just got off "scott free" concerning the unsecured server she used and were hacked ......and how she tried to hide e-mails. She is one of the "elites" and they are above the law. Many have gone to jail for soooo much less.

Do I have to repeat myself? Ok, names and accusations are easy, but proof is another thing altogether.

Do I have to repeat myself? She is considered one of the elites thus she is not held to the same standards that the serfs are. She is utterly bathed in filth going back to her time in Arkansas.

Ok, and Trump is one of the elites who's managed to skirt 3500 lawsuits and has a Fraud and RICO case against him now.

Not sure what bathed in filth means but it's your usual name calling

So who do you trust?

It is really sad that we have those two to choose from. But to choose Mrs. Tuzla is to reward her for years of bad behavior. At least with Trump, he is and outsider that will rile up both sides of the aisle, I am thinking the right side more than the left.

And you think "bad behavior" is worse than 3500 lawsuits and a RICO charge. Gotcha

[P@triot]

Frankly, I really don't like Hillary. I just hate all the lies, misinformation, and misquotes that go back 25 years and continue to this day.

We're all with you Flopper. We can't stand Hitlery and we are also tired of her pathological lies that go back 25 years and continue to this day.

This is a woman who has tried to destroy the lives of other women who were the victims of sexual assault so she could continue to ride the coattail of her husband. She's been waging a war on women for roughly 40 years now. It's disgusting.

I am nothing if not fair....
And I agree....
Hillary always speaks the truth....
So I present this factoid for discussion....

 

[Flopper]

Frankly, I really don't like Hillary. I just hate all the lies, misinformation, and misquotes that go back 25 years and continue to this day. She would not be my choice of a nominee but I will vote for her because I think her opponent would be a far worse choice.

If Kasich had been nominated, I might have voted for him. IMHO, he is the only candidate that had a realist approach to the problems the country faces. Sanders, Trump, Cruz, Rubio, and most of the rest are somewhere out in LA LA Land.

I call BS to that post!

Never seen you support anything but far left policies..

I voted Republican for years until they got into all this religious bullshit and going back to the good old days. If they ever come up with a decent candidate, I might swing back.

I agree with the ultra religious stuff. However, that does not make Hillary the most honest candidate. That is a hoot! Lol.

What does agreeing with ultra religious stuff have to do with Hillary's honesty?

That's what I was asking you! Lol. I have to say that it is highly doubtful that a person who is a republican would think of Hillary as a good candidate. She is the antithesis of everything the Republican party stands for, no?

Well, I'm not a Republican and I don't think either candidate is the best choice so like many Americans I will be trying to pick the better of the two candidates.

Clinton is a liberal therefore she is Democrat. There is no place in the Republican party for a liberal just as in no place in Democratic Party for a conservative. They might as well rename to parties to Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. However, that would be a real shame because this country was built on the ability of the two political parties to work together, to find compromises, and to listen to those they disagree with because the opposition just might have a few good ideas.

But similar videos of Donald Trump exist showing him doing an even more extreme version of the same thing. Why is he not being accused of this type of mendacity? In fact, there is very little dispute that Trump has been SIGNIFICANTLY less honest on the campaign trail than Hillary. According to Politifact he is in fact the least honest candidate they’ve ever analyzed! So if the issue of honesty is really that important, why are so many people holding Hillary to such an obviously different standard than Trump?

The latest attack on Hillary's honesty concerns the email investigation. Although the Director of FBI testified to the fact that he found no evidence of Hillary lying, her opposition has maintains otherwise claiming Hillary lied to FBI and lied to congress. I think anyone with an once of intelligence would realize that if there were any evidence of Hillary lying under oath, she would be facing charges of contempt of this Republican Congress or arrested for making false statements to the FBI.

Thank you! I agree!

Claims that Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar and innately untrustworthy is one the most interesting claims to come out of this election season. Indeed, for a surprisingly large percentage of the electorate, the claim that Hillary is innately dishonest is simply accepted as a given. It is an accusation and conviction so ingrained in the conversation about her that any attempt to even question it is often met with shock. And yet here’s the thing: it’s not actually true. Politifact, the Pulitzer prize-winning fact-checking project, determined for example that Hillary was actually the most truthful candidate (of either Party) in the 2016 election season. And in general Politifact has determined that Hillary is more honest than most (but not all) politicians they have tracked over the years.

In terms of honesty, Hillary is a politician, and like all politicians she is no stranger to “massaging” and exaggerating the truth. And yes on occasion she will let loose a whopper.

Lying is not a crime... if it was, Hillary would have been hanged a long time ago.

By any objective measure Hillary Clinton is not just the most qualified candidate this season, she’s one of the most qualified people to ever seek the office. Even Marco Rubio, one-time choice of the GOP establishment (and tea-party love-child) stated in a Republican debate that, “If this is a resume contest, Hillary Clinton is going to be the new President of the United States.”

What exactly is ON Hillary Clinton's "resume"? That she was married to a President? That she was the Secretary of State who gave us the "reset" with Russia...a civil war in Syria...a dead Ambassador in Libya...Iran on the verge of getting a nuke...ISIS spreading terror throughout the Western world...? Or did you want to talk about her integrity? She lied to the families of the murdered Americans from Benghazi....she lied about coming under sniper fire in the Balkans...she lied about her emails...and most importantly...she's taken in millions from the well connected and foreign interests...money that she did her best to hide from the American people!

If you want a bought and paid for politician who won't change the status quo...then Clinton is your choice. Don't pretend you're getting anything else though, Flopper! Hillary Clinton puts the sleaze in sleazy!

I could list a thousand things Hillary did as Secretary of State but none would be considered major accomplishment because mostly what a Secretary of State does is keep little problems from becoming a massive crisis. This she did in over 100 countries for 5 years.

Now that I've listed Hillary's resume, how about one for Trump. I would really like see just exactly what he has done for America other than build homes, golf courses, and resorts for the wealthy.

You forgot about these achievements..

Failed the D.C. bar exam

Was removed from her House Judiciary Committee staffer job because of incompetence and lying.

• The Whitewater scandal.


• Married a serial liar and cheater, who occasionally had sexual encounters with nonconsenting partners.

• Lied about “sniper fire” in an attempt to simulate exposure to danger in a war zone.

• The subject of a “vast right-wing conspiracy” that led to the impeachment and disbarment of her husband

• Took crockery, furniture, artwork and other items from the White House — had to return and/or pay for them.

• Said “what difference, at this point, does it make” about four brave people killed in Libya as a direct result of her failure to protect them on the anniversary of 9/11.

• Totally ignored the structure and rules for the handling of sensitive national security information.

• Amassed a personal fortune with “speaking fees” and payments from private sector political donors and foreign governments into transparent “foundations” in obvious exchange for future political favor.

To her faithful brainwashed liberal supporters like the OP they will ignore anything bad that's been associated with her, because in their small minds they believe she hasn't done anything wrong and so they will proudly stand by defending and making excuses for the corrupt old hag no matter what.


Just like they have done with Obama.

Au contraire, Hillary has done plenty of things wrong. Anyone who is been at the top levels of government and the focus of public scrutiny for decades is going have a lot baggage. She has also done a lot of things right although I'm sure you would disagree.

There is a permanent multi-million dollar cottage industry that devotes itself to discrediting the Clintons. The very placard you display is one of thousands that populate conservative websites containing opinions, accusations, misquotes, and down right lies.

The quote that heads the placard was released during Clinton's Senate campaign and again in 2008. It has been showed to be entirely inaccurate. It accompanies, an even bigger lie that Clinton was fired from the House Judiciary Committee's Watergate Investigation. However, in today's political environment, few people
question such propaganda. It's the accusation that is important, not the truth. Most Democrats don't even read it and Republicans take as gospel.

FALSE: Jerry Zeifman Fired Hillary Clinton from the Watergate Investigation
