Hillary's Claims
She claims she is going to pass Universal Healthcare. And yet, when she had the opportunity with a Democratically-controlled Congress, with a bigger majority than we have now, she couldn't do it.

She claims she is going to help solve the economy. Yet, she held meetings promoting NAFTA during the Clinton administration and she voted for the new Bankruptcy law which gives trillions of dollars to the credit card companies and some of the very same banks who have engaged in sub-prime lending.

She claims she is going to pull the troops out of Iraq. But she ignored the National Intelligence Estimate that discounted the reasons for going to war and she voted for the Iraq war. She still stands by her decision to give Bush authority and says Saddam was an imminent nuclear threat (even though the NIE she ignored said he wasn't). She views John McCain has having great experience and leadership, even though McCain says stay the course, even for 100 years.

She claims she has more experience, and yet she has run a complete failure of a campaign when she had every advantage and really only has seven years in the Senate.

She claimed to go to Bosnia under fire from snipers, wearing flak-jackets and running between bullets to armored vehicles. We all know the reality of this claim.

What other claims has she been making on the campaign trail?

1. If, God forbid, she became President, we would hear the same thing we heard at the Ohio debate.
"I haven't had time to get around to that."

That's what she said when asked about her tax returns FROM PAST YEARS and her White House records.

ANOTHER LIE.
