Hillary Clinton: another day, another lie (oops, another "mistake")

http://nypost.com/2016/03/16/hillary-to-coal-country-i-love-coal-i-swear/


"Hillary Clinton sent coal-country Sen. Joe Manchin a letter admitting she was wrong when she said, “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” while campaigning in Ohio."
...

"In the letter sent on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton said she was “mistaken” in her remarks."

“I’m writing to clarify what I said recently regarding coal communities at a CNN town hall. Simply put, I was mistaken in my remarks,” she wrote. “Coal will be part of the energy mix for years to come.”

Do they just prefer right-wing media? Or is it that they stuff they want to read doesn't get published anywhere else? What do you think?

She explained very well how she would transition coal miners into jobs for the future. And yes, we will always have coal in this country. You can stop with calling Hillary a liar anytime now.

Another HRC smear by HRC. She should stop smearing herself or......something

Sure, her letter said a "mistake," like her "mistake" about Nancy Reagan and AIDS, so that's all right then. Or maybe Murdock wrote the letter for her. I hear he's taken a part-time job as a secretary.

This is classic. Tell the green Earth people that we'll clean up the energy and then after turn around and say that isn't what you meant. Every issue. Every single issue she tells this audience one thing and that audience another. I have never seen a less honest politician in my life.

where you can actually make little movies with your little portable telephone, and then you can make them available to the whole world using this thing they call the Internet (it's like a series of tubes)? It's kind of awesome because when you say something to one group of people, that little movie of what you said can go through one of those Internet tubes and everybody can see it. So then when you tell another group something completely different about the same topic, and that little movie goes through an Internet tube to the whole world, people notice that you said different things to different people and they start to go, "Wait, what?" and "WTF?" and stuff. She might want to look into that.

Because then it wouldn't even matter what she says. But you are correct! She doesn't do tech too well. She wipes her drive with a cloth.
