How would we characterise those lies? Has she claimed that intelligence proves that Saddam Hussein had WMDs? Did she delete 5 million emails to thwart an investigation into whether the White House had engineered the dismissal of 8 US Attorneys? What about swiftboating and hanging chads? Please explain how she could be anywhere near as bad as the last Republican in the White House.

If you're satisfied Mav then that's your call mate.
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - Mav - 07-09-2016
Of course it would be better if a conservative got in because they tell the truth. Maybe that's because they live their lives according to God's word.

I don't think I was making that claim. What gave you that idea?
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - Mav - 07-09-2016
I can't make out any claim you're making. Apart from claiming that lies disqualify candidates and mean they can't do the job well. I tend to agree with Machiavelli that a politician who can't tell a lie has no business being in charge of a country.

I'm expressing my view that just because Trump would likely make a disastrous president doesn't mean that Hilary would necessarily make a good one. If she gets the gig prepare to be disappointed - it would be an appointment to be endured not celebrated IMO. If you're happy to be lied to and led by the nose then that is undoubtedly your own choice - personally I'd prefer someone a bit better than that. Maybe I'm just asking for too much?
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - Mav - 07-09-2016
The conventional wisdom, at least amongst Democrats, is that Hillary is a poor campaigner but is a good operator when she wins. She's not my dream candidate - Barack Obama is. She would start her presidency, though, with an advantage over Obama 2008. She realises just how partisan and obstructive the GOP is and she won't repeat Obama's naïveté in that regard. She's spent well over 2 decades standing at ground zero while the GOP went nuclear against Bill and her. She won't make the mistake of thinking she can appeal to Congress for goodwill and bipartisanship.

How can you tell if a politician is lying?
Their lips are moving.
Of course, you can substitute many other occupations for politicians without affecting the validity of the observation.

Golden oldie there DJC!
Anyway, poor Hillary hasn't even mastered the basic stock in trade of a politician if that were the case - hasn't she been caught out numerous times on even some pretty pathetic ones?
