A trip down Clinton scandals memory lane

Remember the 1993 film "Dave"?

In that film, a stroke was a useful way to get a scandal ridden failed politician out of the way, clearing the path for a righteous man to assume power.

The bottom line here folks is that Hillary has done too much stupid stuff to be trusted to be president. Obama didn't look nearly as bad early on and look what a stooge he has turned out to be.

'It would really be abhorrent to make this into a campaign issue,' said Jan Stevens, 77. 'The security matters are being adequately investigated.

'We don't pretend to be experts in security. It has to be objectively examined. That's where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena.'

Political football: The father of slain U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens, above, said it would 'really be abhorrent' to turn his death into a campaign issue

Mr Stevens said he had been getting regular briefings from the State Department on progress in the investigation - a contrast with the mother of Sean Smith, another of the four U.S. personnel killed in Benghazi, who has complained she was being kept in the dark

A stroke would be a blessing for Hillary. It would give her a reason to drop out the race, save a little face, and depending on how bad a stroke, could save her from going to prison.


Don't you feel a little better now about Hillary having a stroke?

A stroke is not the same as death.

Patricia Smith, Mother of Sean Smith, murdered in Benghazi, on what she think about Hillary, and the State Dept.

Patricia Smith, whose son, Sean was killed in the Benghazi attack stated Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is "anti-mother" and Benghazi Select Committee Chairman Representative

is "doing a good job" on Tuesday's "America's Newsroom" on the Fox News Channel.

Smith said, "Benghazi was her territory. She allowed it to happen. She did not give the security over there. Everything � this was her bailiwick. She was the State Department. Now, she caused all of this to happen, why shouldn't she have to give an answer? I want to know what happened there. She promised me when the caskets came in in Washington, DC she promised me to my face that she would call and tell me what happened, because I don't know exactly what happened. She has never called. Her office, not only has not called, but they gave out information that I was not to know anything because I am not a member of the immediate family. As far as I'm concerned, Hillary is anti-mother. She will not give me an answer to anything. She still stands on, as far as I know, it's still the video that caused everything, because no one has told me any different."

Smith added, "Why did she stop the security guards from going in there? They told me personally that if they would be allowed to go, and they were told to stand down, if they would be allowed to go, my son would be alive. Now, I want Hillary to tell me why this is not so."

Smith also stated, "She's got to let me know. She has got to. I am the mother, or I was the mother. She wasn't. Why does she know and I can't find out about my son? Yes, it's only been three years. How long is it going to take before I find out something? Somebody in the government should let me know something."

She concluded, "Trey Gowdy told me that he'd give me answers once this thing is done. I'm waiting for those answers. I think he's doing a good job. I think he's trying to find answers. I think that Hillary and her department ought to stop sitting on the pot, and give answers to some of these things instead of saying, oh, it's not my fault."

You, Sir Sparkling, stand in no one's shadow. ..but thanks.


And while we're talking about Hillary's scandals, this one is at the top of the looooong list for me.

Sean Smith was murdered in Benghazi on Hillary's watch... Hillary hugged Sean's mother in front of those caskets, and said" we going to get that man who made that awful video"...according to Sean's mother. Lying straight to her face in front of the body of her DEAD SON.

Fast forward to just now on TV..Sean Smith's mother stated that Hillary "promised" to call her and tell her everything about how her SON was killed.

No only has Hillary never called...Mrs. Smith stated that when she calls THEM, they have been told "not to tell her anything, because SHE IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY.

You tell me... if the person who gave birth to the SON WHO WAS MURDERED is NOT of the immediate family, just who in the **** is.

A stroke is the least that should befall this corrupt piece of democrat trash.

Umpire, I am happy to stand in TnT's shadow. TnT's reply was indeed masterful. This is not a competition.

Shoulda, I agree that the Clintons just keep on going.

Bill has done the Energizer Bunny for a while.

Hillary will need that resilience in Leavenworth.

History has proven one thing: No matter what the right coughs and spews up, the Clintons just keep going.

If they spent as much time developing their own candidates as they do trying to bring down the other side...eh, who am I kidding. This and that just ain't got it in her.

Power put down? Hardly.

You are bringing up a former President so are we going to discuss them all?

So we should discuss both President Bushs' scandals because their brother/son is running?

T&T HAS NEVER GIVEN A MASTERFUL REPLY. AND IF SHE HAD, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ARE THAN YOU HAVE DONE.

Not to any silliness from the left.

A power put down like that should have theme music.

A trip down Bush's memory lane is painful , how he lied us into Iraq , all the money he wasted on a useless war, and tried to hide . The lives he sacrificed , the memory of him saying Sodom Hussein didn't matter, when that was supposed to be the reason he sent our men and women into Iraq. His "mission accomplished '' lie.

Why is President Bill Clinton being discuss now. Should we discuss scandals from all past Presidents?

No, that won't be necessary. Just another feeble attempt by you to "move on".
Most of them are dead, and can't speak for themselves any longer.

None of them are President, except obama, and Lord knows he has a Looong list of scandals himself.,, how ever, here we are talking about someone who is currently running for the highest office in the WORLD, and their history of corruption is epic, and readers, and potential Clinton voters should see, and Know just who they are voting for.

And we all know you're just fine with voting and supporting corrupt crooks for POTUS.

That says as much about YOU, as it does the Clintons.

Maybe that paper has evolved beyond its founder's vision.

I wonder if any of the other news outlets had such a colorful history.

And of course, here comes THE GO WILKES IDIOT to complain about a site and ignores the several pages of Clinton scandals going back through their corrupt careers....all of which made headlines in newspapers across the country.


Still according to THE IDIOT, all those facts concerning the long list of Clinton scandals suddenly don't count, cause it was on a site THE IDIOT deems unworthy.

In other words, not a liberal site, telling the people glowing LIES about obama and hillary.
