Ted, how do you know Clinton has not had an agenda to lie, cheat, and steal his entire life?
Ten, you are right -- he has. Back when he was running in '92 I had extensive discussions on the prodigy forums about this very fact -- that he we a known liar -- and was shouted down.
Here in Arkansas, one of the local TV stations played a few times a piece of tape of Clinton in his gubernatorial run. He was at a "town meeting" in eastern Arkansas, and was asked words to the effect --
"Mr. Clinton, can you give us your solemn oath that if you're elected you will decline to run for president in '92?".
Then, you see Clinton raise his right hand, no sh*t, and say, "I give you my solemn oath, that if the people of Arkansas elect me I will not run for the presidencey in '92".
Somehow, this tape never made it into the national media. But it is so typical of Clinton's years here as governor. Pathological Liar, like none we've seen before or since.
In his defense, I believe it is a characteristic of the liberal mind that facts can be twisted to rationalize the lying. For example, when he was asked about the above-mentioned event, he responded that the people of Arkansas had "released him" from his pledge by supporting his candidacy or some such nonesense.
The guy will tell a lie when the truth would do better. |
