The Clinton Thread

[Lightning Strykez!]

Because Monica Lewisnky has absolutely no place in this campaign! It's just another pathetic attempt to somehow railroad Hillary. I am so sick and tired of people bringing that woman up! Let's all burn Hillary at the stake because she decided to stay with her husband! How in the **** is her credibility somehow damaged because of Monica Lewinsky??? Give me a break! Chelsea answered it exactly how I think she should have.

IT'S NOT ANYBODY'S BUSINESS!!!

Soooooooooooo...Monica Lewinsky has no impact on Hillary at all, but Obama's weird reverends damage his credibility?

That's crap...and a double-standard if there ever was one.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Honestly...
She got herself into the crossfire when she started speaking politically about her mother.
Granted she doesnt have to answer anything she wants to, but she is no longer off limits.

Yeah but you have to admit, her "I know you are but what am I?" response is nothing short of childish. This is politics and if she wants to play with the adults she needs to deal with it effectively.

 

[kainedamo]

I will admit though: this Bosnia crap has stuck to her longer than I expected. They are STILL talking about it--and the polls are seeing her slide as a result.

Quite rightly so. It's a pretty significant lie. Even the military are annoyed at her.

True, but that is not our problem, is it?

And that was part of my point.

^ I always said she was an unmitigated liar. But ya'll don't hear me tho.

Mark Penn, Clinton's campaign strategist, lobbied for Colombian Free trade agreement that Hillary opposes.

Mark then "apologizes" for discussing it.

Just a month ago Hillary was saying this when questioned by the press, "Just ask yourself [what you would do] if some of my advisers had been having private meetings with foreign governments."

 

[redfirebird2008]

They just released their tax returns and the income was $109 million since leaving the White House. Bill has made $52 million from speeches. That's pretty impressive.

 

[Captain Planet!]

Lol, I loved her interview with Jay Leno.

 

[gap5ewl]

damn...

And they have earned (and deserved) every bit of it! I'm happy for them.

so...whitewater.....you know,political pressure....no issue with you?

 

[Addendum]

The Clinton's were not charged with any wrongdoing with regard to Whitewater, so where would the issue be?

That's what I'm curious to know. I fail to see what kind of argument you are trying to make Sparkle when they were not charged with anything.

A good portion comes from post-presidency speaking engagements. They are both two of the most sought after speakers and can easily pull in 6 figures per event. Factor in Hillary's salary, Bill's pension, money they made prior to becoming prominent in politics, and various stocks and bonds and it makes sense.

 

[Kelly]

Absolutely not surprised at all by that.......an Ex-President and First Lady who is now a Senator..........hell they can ask for just about any price for speaking engagements....ALL OVER THE WORLD, not just here in the US.....

 

[The Senator]

I'm actually surprised it isn't a bit higher. I was expecting their income to be between $130-150 million. The last I knew, CNN had estimated Hillary's income to be roughly $34 million, whereas Bill's was close to $100 million.

 

[Mr. Credible]

more lies, yay!!

i just dont get this...

how could she be this careless??

 

[jaymes_e06]

Hillary Hillary Hillary! I try so despratly to like you but then you do these types of things. Why do you always do this?

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Good for them.

Now my question is...can Hillary manage her finances? Because if the way she's run her campaign is any indication, this country is going to reach a new level of screwed-upedness.

 

[Memphis Slim]

Who cares? Most of these cats are rich and act like they are so in tuned to your normal needs. They hadn't known what was normal for quite some time.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Ducking sniper fire has a way of doing that to you...

 

[Kelly]

Well, I think exaggeration is a problem of most politicians.....I think it must be a prerequisite or something....

just a few more examples...
Obama said his parents met and joined -- got together at the Selma March, and that led to them being together and him being born. Well, he was born four years before the Selma March.

He claimed to be a constitutional law professor, and turned out not to be.

Claimed to speak fluent Indonesia as a child. His schoolteacher said that was not the case.

He claimed to be involved in an asbestos campaign in public housing in his book, and it turned out not to be the case.

He claimed that he had a racial awakening at the age of 9 by reading a LIFE magazine article about an African-American man was scarred physically and mentally by trying to make himself look more white. LIFE magazine and Ebony magazine never published such an article.


Now mind you, Hilary REALLY, REAAAALLLLY exaggerated on hers....that's for damn sure......but I think theres quite a bit of exaggeration going around this election year.
