"CBS's Scott Pelley interviewed Hillary Clinton on Thursday night. One exchange tells you everything you need to know about Clinton's struggles in the Democratic primary race so far and why she continues to be dogged by questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. Here it is:

PELLEY: You know, in ’76, Jimmy Carter famously said, “I will not lie to you.”

CLINTON: Well, I have to tell you I have tried in every way I know how literally from my years as a young lawyer all the way through my time as secretary of state to level with the American people.

PELLEY: You talk about leveling with the American people. Have you always told the truth?

CLINTON: I’ve always tried to. Always. Always.

PELLEY: Some people are gonna call that wiggle room that you just gave yourself.

CLINTON: Well, no, I’ve always tried —

PELLEY: I mean, Jimmy Carter said, “I will never lie to you.”

CLINTON: Well, but, you know, you’re asking me to say, “Have I ever?” I don’t believe I ever have. I don’t believe I ever have. I don’t believe I ever will. I’m gonna do the best I can to level with the American people.

I mean, what? W-H-A-T? "I've always tried to" tell the truth? On what planet is this a good answer for a politician?

The answer, of course, is on no planet. While I am less familiar with politics on Mars than I am with those on Earth, I am pretty sure that being unable to simply say, "Yes, I have always been truthful with the public," would be a problem on the Red Planet, too."

Quite enlightening Payne.
Thanks for posting!

That liar just squeaked by Bernie.
The Dems sure have two lousy choices. An honest full on Socialist
or
A lying self serving,and corrupt Socialist.

If I were a Democrat, I would have a very sick feeling in my stomach.

rlock; Do you think she tries hard?
Can't; like in constipation?
or
Can't; as in - she doesn't dare?

rlockwood

eagleye13 I don't think she has it in her to tell the truth, she has been lying so long she just can't tell the truth.

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

She is dangerous either way.

DamnYANKEE

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: and she don't try very hard either

BDOG

Payne, the problem is that 70% of democrats don't care if she lies. Juan Williams said that.

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

Yep; Just pass the gravy!

100% of the Repubs don't care if Cruz and the rest of the brain-dead Repub candidates lie. It's time to look for a third party.

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

The PTB have been able to eliminate all other parties.
So much money, and control of the MSM has completed the Two Party fraud. All other parties are blacked out.

Green party is a good protest vote. Let the assholes know we are on to them.

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

If Trump gets screwed by the RNC; My protest protest vote would be American Independent, Libertarian, Reform, or Constitution Party.
No NeoCON CFR stooge will ever get my vote.
No Establishment Democrat fraud will ever get my vote.
No socialist/communist will ever get my vote.


vote

But with the third party would take votes from the republican party.
