    Perhaps Hillary surrogates should suggest that she lies like a hunter about bait, sharpshooter skills and the fallen prey...
  • PeteWa · 1 year ago
    What's one more lie piled on a mountain of lies, especially to this country which was so happily and willfully lied into war against such an obviously non-threatening "enemy"?
  • Ben Dover · 1 year ago
    Hillary, Hillary, Hillary. You have to stop the lies. Now.

    Get a therapist. Maybe a stay in any of our fine American re-hab facilities till you get things straightened out and put a stop to your incessant need to lie?

    The presidency is not your birthright, Hillary. Step aside, get some help. For the good of the nation and the good of the party.

    John, you erred slightly. Correction: One of their favorite, and most effective, attacks is labeling CLINTONS as liars.

    Report: Netanyahu says 9/11 terror attacks good for Israel
    "We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."

    Hillary and her campaign advisor's are not only liars but they are lazy, because this guy Thomas was also a volunteer in one of her offices and I cannot find the link but I know I read that one of the women was also an office volunteer.

    Hillary Clinton On Working Class Whites In 1995: "Screw 'Em"
    "Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

    How funny is this from the WP:
    Lynne Cheney browsing furniture at the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams store... tested out a leather chair by plopping down in it three times. She also inquired about some of the framed art photos for sale; when told they were taken by Tipper Gore (who has gone into business with the furniture chain), she replied, "Interesting."

    Why oh why didn't the Clinton campaign managers ask for proof of residence before employing this man! Almost as deceptive as Mrs. McCain's recipe gaffe!... so yes, yes it does seem insignificant. Why is this blog on my reader?
  • PeteWa · 1 year ago
    allpeopleunite,
    on the radio this morning they mentioned that the person in the ad from New Jersey actually worked for the Clinton campaign in NJ.
    If you can't understand why this level of deception is at all important, perhaps you would be better served to replace freerepublic.com in your americablog slot for daily reading.
  • osage · 1 year ago
    This was just plain dumb! Leaving themselves vulnerable by using a non-Pennsylvanian is laughably incompetent. If she can't control the people making decisions in her campaign, how is she going to control all the decisions that have to delegated by president? Are her people trying to lose this election for her or are they just as unqualfied and inept as Bush's cronies?

    @PeteWa: A residency check wouldn't necessarily turn anything up, since he now does live in PA - it's just a very recent move.

    On a similar note, here's an AP story on an Obama ad in Penn.

    http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iIjsMeUUJFSc...

    I find the "Analysis" part of this AP (!) article terribly biased against Obama. Par for the course, I guess.
  • Nigel Elliott · 1 year ago
    In this USA Today article desperately seeking a lobbyist connection, the photo of Obama is pretty darn cool. The guy is almost too cool to be president. LOL

  • Coming Undone · 1 year ago
    This is getting bad for Clinton, have you seen her screw them comments, and to think she opened the door, what type of lawyer does that unless you are sure that nothing that comes through the door can hurt you.
  • PeteWa · 1 year ago
    acknight,
    I fail to understand your point.
    This guy worked for the Clinton campaign in New Jersey.
    He was registered to vote in New Jersey.
    Ostensibly he has been a resident of New Jersey for some time.
    So why, exactly, is he held up in the ad as an indicator of the "common man in PA"?

    Separation of Church and state? Forgetaboutit!

    All five Roman Catholic justices on the Supreme Court were invited to Wednesday night's splashy White House dinner in honor of Pope Benedict XVI.

  • KerrynowCampau · 1 year ago
    Nigel, is that the dinner that the pope WON'T be at?
  • acknight · 1 year ago
    @PeteWa again:

    I didn't say anything about it indicating him as a common man in PA. I simply pointed out to you that an address check wouldn't tell you that he doesn't live in PA, since he does.

    Oh come on! They've used actors in political advertising for as long as there has been ads on television. This guy was an actor, no more. Political testimonies in these ads should be taken with the same grain of salt that you take with all advertising on TV. Look at those ridiculous car ads, claiming to be able to change your life and your sex life. Absurd, but so many people believe them and only are eager to buy the next car when their current car fails to achieve the new life success or sexy life they bought that car to win. Clinton is reprehensible enough without exaggerating the point which is nearly as bad as what she has done. When it is too trivial to matter, let it rest and don't let it make us lower ourselves down to her level. Obama looks golden. Be a shame if his followers are trash. Obama is going to win the nomination and then the presidency. Forget the trivial absurd attacks on those who aren't worth the effort.
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    The mighty Clintons have run an awful campaign, and Hillary has been caught lying and exaggerating over and over again.

    It shows how bad she is at being a Manager.

    It makes Americans have no confidence, that she will make the right
    judgment, and do the right thing, when that call comes in at 3am.

    Far be it from me to interrupt the haka, but Obama Girl didn't even vote. Sauce for the goose or, in this case I suppose, the $99.00 ham.
  • existenz · 1 year ago
    Um, sorry to break it to you buddy, but Obama Girl was not hired by the Obama camp. She is just part of a comedy troupe that makes videos.

    This New Jersey voter was hired by the Clinton folks to pretend to be an outraged Pennsylvanian.

    acknight,
    I still don't understand why you felt the need to address that comment to me, from what I had posted prior to your response...
    But whatever.
