You and those who think like you are the reason we have corrupt obama in office, a girlyman who has done so much damage to America..
You need to wake up, although I know that will never happen, you will continue to wallow in ignorance, as you know, "You can't fix stupid"!!

Another Exhibit that confirms what the Economist said in its article - when confronted with the truth, the right-wing will justify their bias by saying the truth is somehow a conspiracy dreamed up by the Left.

Sorry, facts are fact. This is a point that you will not be able to successfully dispute.

The post-truth world - Yes, I’d lie to you

Political lies used to imply that there was a truth—one that had to be prevented from coming out. Evidence, consistency and scholarship had political power. Today a growing number of politicians and pundits simply no longer care. They are content with what Stephen Colbert, an American comedian, calls “truthiness”: ideas which “feel right” or “should be true”. They deal in insinuation (“A lot of people are saying...” is one of Mr Trump’s favourite phrases) and question the provenance, rather than accuracy, of anything that goes against them (“They would say that, wouldn’t they?”). And when the distance between what feels true and what the facts say grows too great, it can always be bridged with a handy conspiracy theory.

And the Democrat feminist left reveres this guy as some sort of political icon or hero. You rally cannot make this stuff up.

Are you saying that sexual assaults are bad and should disqualify someone from the highest office?

That or helping someone to harass and intimidate those women who your husband raped and sexually assaulted.

Both of these people have disqualified themselves more times than can easily be counted. Also, if you are voting for either one of them, then you are just as much of an unprincipled, selfish turd as they are.

The fact situation in the official record says there was a surplus. There are opinions as to whether it is or not. But the fact situation remains the same.

And the greatest advancements in computing technology and the internet fueled an incredible period of economic history. Wasn't so much Clinton as it was the computing revolution that changed the global landscape. He happened to be in the right place at the right time.

The fact remains that giving Clinton credit for that growth is dishonest at best. The growth came from the growth of telecommunication and tech companies, many of which started in the 70s and grew to the point where they became major companies, and Clinton's policies are as much responsible for the financial issues under Bush as anybody.

Except one candidate has bragged about committing one and there is no shred of evidence the other candidate committed the other.

See, right-wingers don't have the slightest clue that facts are not supposed to be safe guarded. I know they're accustomed to seeing lies and spins everywhere (and believe them), but facts is supposed to be out in the open.




Studies after studies have shown that conservatives use emotions and gut feeling while liberals use logic and facts.

The studies can't quite figure out why so many conservatives are stupid though.

Hillary lies daily, hourly.


You are so used to it, you don't recognize that FACT.


And the best you can counter that with is the birther nonsense???

Let me guess Fox news viewer right ?

You have been programmed to dislike/trust the Clintons ever since he/she was in the oval office. It is been a persistent message from the Republican strategists like Carl Rove and Roger Alies (who BTW is advising Trump) that Hillary is the most corrupt person ever to run for office. She may be the most investigated person to run in modern times, she is certainly not the most corrupt.
