1. I like Snipergate, but incorporation of the term "liar" works too

4. HRC said now during a news conference that she "made a mistake" (on 3 separate events!)
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 02:20 PM by ShortnFiery
But she won't admit that her Iraq (and Iran) vote was "a mistake."

Oh yeah, that type of character is what we need for a President of the United States. :eyes:

She goes on when pressed, "I was joking. Lighten up guys." (Don't pick on me, I'm just a girl!?!)

IMO outright LYING on *several occasions* is NOT a good indicator of personal integrity. :(

17. Not any other time in the past that I can recall. She mistakenly thinks that "strong women" can not
be viewed as credible if they DARE admit a mistake.

The fellow (odd term?) women Army Officers that I had the pleasure of working with who were RESPECTED and TALENTED LEADERS were tough but when something went wrong, they stood up for their troops and personally took "the hits."

It's the mark of a good leader (either gender) to readily admit, when appropriate, that they have in fact, made an error. The key is to admit it immediately and learn from your mistakes.

What HRC has lost due to "her politics" is that people do not respect leaders who deflect blame to other ... Great Leaders take both IMMEDIATE and TRUE heartfelt responsibility for their errors.

9. If the media doesnt pounce in this more, then there is a true bias in this race.
She just cant lie about getting shot at and get away with it.

28. That bias has been present for the last couple of months now. As badly as she did on 2/5
and then to lose 12 straight, no one else would've survived the MSM except her.

:dem:

11. "Dodging Sniper Fire" is to Hillary what "Invented the Internet" was to Al Gore....
...makes her an object of ridicule, and it will be VERY hard for her to escape it.


Watch for the next SNL episode.

16. The difference s that Gore never said what he was imagined to have said.
The press made it up and then hung it on him.

20. One difference, Hillary made the quote attributed to her.
Al Gore did not make that "quote" attributed to him.

22. amen...
nytimes.com — From the New York Times, Obama dis-invites Wright from participation in his coming-out for President, dated 3-6-07. From Wright's own mouth, Obama is quoted as saying the reason is concern about Wright's controversial sermons. He now must lie and deny ever hearing such, because staying in the church after hearing that sick trash is tacit approval.

“When his enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli” to visit Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, Mr. Wright recalled, “with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.” Mr. Wright added that his trip implied no endorsement of either Louis Farrakhan’s views or Qaddafi’s.


I mean come on...you want to condemn Hillary for her little fish story and yet give Obama a pass for his out right lying to all of us about this is not only quite disingenuious.....but quite sad
