Hillary Being Interviewed: "I have ALWAYS told the ..............
Feb 19, 2016 23:02:57 #
CBS's Scott Pelley interviewed Hillary Clinton on Thursday night. One exchange tells you everything you need to know about Clinton's struggles in the Democratic primary race so far and why she continues to be dogged by questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. Here it is:
PELLEY: You know, in 76, Jimmy Carter famously said, I will not lie to you.
CLINTON: Well, I have to tell you I have tried in every way I know how literally from my years as a young lawyer all the way through my time as secretary of state to level with the American people.
PELLEY: You talk about leveling with the American people. Have you always told the truth?
CLINTON: Ive always tried to. Always. Always.
PELLEY: Some people are gonna call that wiggle room that you just gave yourself.
CLINTON: Well, no, Ive always tried
PELLEY: I mean, Jimmy Carter said, I will never lie to you.
CLINTON: Well, but, you know, youre asking me to say, Have I ever? I dont believe I ever have. I dont believe I ever have. I dont believe I ever will. Im gonna do the best I can to level with the American people.
I mean, what? W-H-A-T? "I've always tried to" tell the truth? On what planet is this a good answer for a politician?
The answer, of course, is on no planet. While I am less familiar with politics on Mars than I am with those on Earth, I am pretty sure that being unable to simply say, "Yes, I have always been truthful with the public," would be a problem on the Red Planet, too.
This a double whammy of bad for Clinton.
First, it does nothing at all to quell concerns about her ability to be honest and straightforward. In the New Hampshire exit poll, more than one in three (34 percent) of all Democratic primary voters said that honesty was the most important trait in their decision on which candidate to support. Of that bloc, Bernie Sanders won 92 percent of their votes as compared to just 6 percent for Clinton.
That's broadly in keeping with national polling over the last year, which has consistently shown large majorities of voters voicing skepticism about Clinton's trustworthiness. Her answer to that criticism has, to date, been to blame it on a Republican Party obsessed with her and willing to say or do anything to tarnish her reputation. There's truth in that, but, as the New Hampshire exit numbers suggest, the problem is bigger than just Republicans out to get her.
Why Sanders might have an edge over Clinton with minority voters in Nevada
Once considered a firewall for Hillary Clinton, Nevada has sharply turned into a tight and unpredictable contest for the former secretary of state as senator Bernie Sanders steadily gains support from critical voting blocs.
Second, the answer from Clinton on honesty reinforces a perception that the former secretary of state tries to play with words, giving a heavily couched response when a simple one would and should do. You can imagine people rolling their eyes or saying, "Why doesn't she just answer the question?" while watching that painful response by Clinton.
I think I understand why she answered the way she did. She knows she has been in public life for a long time and that she has said lots and lots of things. Because of that, it's possible that at some point in the future, someone will unearth a statement in which it could be construed that she wasn't telling the whole truth. Clinton is protecting against the damage incurred by such a revelation.
But when you have the problems regarding honesty and trustworthiness that Clinton does, the only right answer to Pelley's question is: "Yes, I have always been truthful. Of course." That Clinton didn't give that simple answer suggests she is either (a) unaware of or doubts the depth of voters' concerns with her ability to be honest, or (b) she is so naturally cautious as to get herself in trouble even on a question she has to know is coming.
Hillary is TOAST!
My comments;
The woman isn delusional! No one.......not even libturds.....think Hillary has EVER told the truth about ANYTHING! If her lips are moving, you KNOW she lying! I actually think she is beginning to believe her own lies! The ONLY person who thinks Hillary never lies is Twurdlow; I think Twurdlow is hoping she'll give him a job in her administration; (if she ever HAS one! I wonder what she'll offer Twurdlow? Maybe she'll let Twurdlow ride around in the trunk of her limo in case she steps in some dog poop, Twurdlow will be there to clean off her shoes with his hankie?
Maybe he'll get to clean off Huma's shoes too? I'll bet if Twurdlow can suck up to Huma, she'll get her husband (Anthony "the perv" Weiner ) to give Twurdlow one of his famous "pictures"? (Of his "weiner" )....like he gives out to all the women he doesn't know.

Wow! I've Seen Better Looking Necks Than That On An Ostrich! (Maybe She'll Lay An Egg? )

She really meant "I have always tried to tell the truth, but I just couldn't...it's just not in me"

While watching her on the town hall the other night I noticed that sometimes she spoke for several minutes without ever answering the question, just skirting around the issue. While she is not alone in avoiding difficult answers she has it down to a fine science. Even when pressed by the questioner she deflects and changes the conversation to something else. One young man asked her about releasing the transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street firms so we can know what she promised them for all that money. She responded by saying she will release them when everybody else releases theirs. Nobody else has this hanging over their heads but it showed how she avoids answering the doubts people have about her. Blame the other guys for not doing what she is being asked to do.

Very easy to understand- Hillary never told a lie- she can't tell the difference between the truth and a lie. So to her it is not a lie.
Feb 20, 2016 09:39:06 #
This woman has been lying her entire life, and will never change. She will say, or do anything to become the first woman President. The Bosnian sniper fire was a whopper, and her nose grew at least two inches with that planned, blatant lie.

"At this point, what difference does it make?"
Given the current state of America, and the hucksters trying to claw their way to the podium, there is no doubt America as it was known is dead.
"Well, that depends on what your definition of is, is..." Slick Willy.

Wow! That is some panic you're in! Slow Down and take a minute. Perhaps a long slow walk.
Let me tell you something. Even if you could prove your point about Hillary lying, which you can't, and which has you flustered and panicked about the sky falling, but even if you did, I'd still vote for Hillary.
Remember when Ronnie had to pardon his advisors to keep them out of prison for doing what he wanted, and what was reported in the newspapers every day?
But you still think he was great, don't you. You overlook His lies.
Hillary has more qualifications and experience than the entire field of Republican wannabe combined, with the possible exception of the Ohio Governor (who has a long and extensive political career, but apparently absolutely no chance of being President).
Experience and Qualifications:
Hillary versus Donald Trump? What say you?
Experience and Qualifications:
Hillary versus Cruz? What say you?
Experience and Qualifications:
Hillary versus Rubio? What say you?
Experience and Qualifications:
Hillary versus Jeb Bush? What say you?
No, stop laughing at Jeb and give an answer.
(Would someone please put this man out of his misery? You'd shoot an injured horse, wouldn't you? Take this man aside and explain the facts of life to him. No one named Bush and part of the Bush family will be elected dog catcher for 50 years. And he's a really p-ss poor politician.)
Now, all the above rationality aside, we know your panic over-rules thought.
Try taking 10 long, slow breaths, and a long walk.
Try to keep your heart heart rate down.
In your case, rationality is bad for your health; admit it, and panic at will.

Twurdlow........There are a couple of very stupid libs on this forum that when compared to you look absolutely BRILLIANT!
Are you you on stupid pills or what? How much does George Soros pay you to troll UHH anyway? I think you're the only person that I've been unfortunate enough to run across that is actually too damned stupid to be insulted! I really get the impression that if someone came up to you on the street and spit in your face, that you would probably either take off running, sit down and start crying, but I would be willing to bet that a swift "toe to the jewels" would be insufficient to anger you enough to attempt to defend yourself! I would really love to meet you some to evaluate some of my theories about you.
Do you have any idea where Lead Hill, Ar. is Twurdlow? I know some old guy almost my age that I came within a hair of getting into a hell of a fist fight with, but my best friends wife happened to be less that 30 feet away and she yelled at us that she would radio Rob to come knock us both out if we started fighting on her property. Knowing Rob as I do, there's absolutely no doubt that he would have done exactly what his wife said! (And if Rob ever hits you you're absolutely going to be "out" for a while! ) That man could knock out a grizzly bear with one punch!
The funny part of that story turned out to be, we made up and were best buddies two hours later! That happened in October at our big 10 day festival and I even got a Christmas card from old Louie 3 months later! Why don't you tell me where you live in Arkansas and I'll send Louie an email and have him run over there and jack your jaw good, then maybe you'll crawl back into your hole and keep your yap shut, hmmm? I've never seen such an obnoxious and persistent PITA as you are! I think I'm going to rename you "Twurdlow the twat! What do you do for recreation, TT, sit with your finger up your nose all day, fixating on a picture of the Hildabeast's bloomers?

Lets think about this a bit Twardlow... according to your own comment.. THERE is apparently NOTHING which can keep you from voting for Hillary....I actually don't believe that... but who knows..
BUT..here is something for you to think about..
Ronnie was a liar, he was President at the time, It made you so mad you could have chewed Nails..
Hillary is a Liar...(an it can be proved, and has been proved) and this would not make you mad at all if she became President.....
WHY would you differentiate between the two One lied in office the other WILL lie in office...

So what exactly is Hillary's big accomplishment? She has a vagina? So does Sarah Palin. Are you going to vote for her too?
Even the fawning media can't find an accomplishment of Hillary's beyond introducing the State dept to Twitter and Facebook. Being the wife of a Governor or President is not an accomplishment. It doesn't qualify you for either of those spots any more than a wife of a Brain Surgeon is qualified to perform brain surgery.

Hondo......
Your post has just given me a fabulous idea! Maybe we can get Hillary to perform brain surgery on Twurdlow? Afterall, he has FULL CONFIDENCE in Hillary's ability to do ANYTHING, right? And, obviously, Twurdlow IS very definitely in dire need of......."something", right?
I think I'll contact MSNBC immediately and see if we can set this up for maybe a Sunday afternoon "event"......Hillary Clinton performs brain surgery on infamous, on-line forum troll from Arkansas, known as "Twrudlow"; Hillary will get all of the publicity and attending adulation from her many brain-dead "admirers", and of course Twurdlow gets to meet his "hero", not to mention, gets a FREE "full-frontal lobotomy" from the "one and only" (than you God! ), Hillary Rodman Clinton! If this works out as well as I'm thinking it will, maybe we can get her to do an "encore" the following Sunday and perform the same "procedure" on a few dozen more of her "followers"?
As for Hillary having a "vagina".......Hmmmm,.......not sure exactly what you would find "down there"???? (one thing is for sure though......I sure wouldn't want to be the one to have to "look"! ) I'm guessing maggots maybe?????

I Will Be Performing Brain Surgery On MSNBC On Infamous Forum Troll, Twurdlow Next Sunday At 3:00 P.M. Don't Miss It
