Clintons show it’s OK to lie

I never cease to be amazed at the support for Hillary Clinton for president. She is a professional liar who has ridden Bill’s coattails and never accomplished anything on her own.

A partial list of her lies: cattle futures profits, missing law firm records, under fire in Bosnia, covering up for Bill’s behavior while slandering the women he assaulted, and Benghazi. What kind of person stands next to a mother with her fallen son in a nearby casket and tells them the attack was caused by a video and we are going to arrest the creator of the video — a lie purely for political gain. She did nothing to help before or during the attack and then lied about its cause. Of course, we still have no idea where President Obama was or what he did that night.

At one time there was a concept of shame in this country. The Clintons have taken that away with their ceaseless lies, and now it is fine to lie so long as it helps your cause. Shame is dead.

Lastly, one look at the resurgent al-Qaida in Africa and the Middle East reflects her dismal record as secretary of state. She has never accomplished anything.

Haven’t the last five years taught us that competence matters more than gender, race, etc.? We need economic growth and jobs, particularly for young people — not more fluff.
