10. In 2008, I assumed several things were about Obama only

"playing the game," too. And I disregarded them totally for that reason. I have since decided never to do that again.

A candidate who says something needs to be willing for Democrats as well as for Republicans to take the candidate at his or her word (to use the term Hillary used for Obama back then).

Hillary says the Bible is her favorite book, that tells me something (even if she is faking it, as Maher claims). So does her association with The Family while she was a Senator. That Bill Maher waves something away doesn't make it so. And even if she is faking it, that tells me something, too.

When choosing a candidate, about all we can rely on is what they say--and even then...... Hillary is either speaking her own truth about herself or being willing to tell any lie to get elected and being willing to pander to conservatives more than to liberals--and maybe neither of those things will end on election day. Either way....
