The New York Times says Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for the Senate in New York State and that's the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. I have just one question: Are these Times' editorialists mad? Are they completely insane? What are they thinking over there? Last week you heard me say on the Factor that I can understand anyone voting for Al Gore or George W. Bush. I understand why people are supporting either of those candidates. Their positions and personalities have been revealed to the American people and any vote here is a responsible vote. But I simply cannot understand how any American citizen could cast a vote for Hillary Clinton simply because the record shows without a doubt that this woman has a major problem with honesty. Here's what The Times said in it's endorsement of Mrs. Clinton: 'The investigative literature of Whitewater and related scandals is replete with evidence that Mrs. Clinton has a lamentable tendency to treat political opponents as enemies. She has clearly been less than truthful in her comments to investigators and too eager to follow President Clinton's method of peddling access for campaign donations. Her fondness for stonewalling in response to legitimate questions about financial or legislative matters contributed to the bad ethical reputation of the Clinton administration.' Remember, this is an endorsement! The Times wants this woman in the Senate. The paper believes quote 'Mrs Clinton is capable of growing beyond the ethical legacies of her Arkansas and White House years.' What ever happened to holding people accountable for their actions? This is unreal — a bizarre move by the most powerful newspaper in the country to install a corrupt woman in the Senate. This isn't about Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative. This is about honesty. The first responsibility of an American citizen is to elect people who are trustworthy — that's our first responsibility. Are not The New York Times editorial board Americans? What is going on here this is an outrage. I have had it with the Clintons and there sleazy, manipulation of the law. I am completely fed up with the White House being used as a crash-pad for money men. I am disgusted that the Oval Office was disrespected and that the whole group in there justified tawdry behavior time after time. Again, this has nothing to do with political philosophy — this has everything to do with the dignity of our country. Unlike The New York Times we do not endorse candidates here on The Factor. But I will never, ever, caste a ballot for anyone who has been quote 'less than truthful to federal investigators.' Call me crazy or partisan or whatever you want. I want honest people in government and so should you. foxnews.com
