Hillary Clinton: Dodging tough questions should be 'disqualifying' in Iowa

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton swiped at Republican Senate hopeful Joni Ernst on Wednesday for canceling a meeting with the Des Moines Register editorial board last week, telling a labor audience that not answering "tough questions" is "disqualifying" in the state.

"I have concluded that Iowans take politics really seriously," Clinton said. "You test your candidates, you actually force them to be the best they can be and they have to be willing to answer the tough questions."

Democrat Bruce Braley "has been willing to do this, and his opponent has not," she said.

---snip---

Clinton also knocked Ernst, a female candidate, as someone who didn't stand with women because her stances on reproductive rights.

"It is not enough to be a woman," Clinton, the prohibitive favorite for her party's nomination in 2016, said of Ernst, "You have to be committed to expanding rights and opportunities for all women."

So she lost whatever sense of irony she was born with?

If she cannot answer something, she can just claim brain damage.

From the person who lies and obfuscates consistently

And she wasn’t struck by lightning?

I am so sick of the Iowa pandering. Shouldn't states that didn't go for Obama vote first for the GOP presidential nominee in 2016?

“I don’t recall.”

“...vast right wing conspiracy...”

” What difference, at this point, does it make!?”

I would say that dodging tough questions before congressional investigations should disqualify you from your cabinet position.

HILLARY'S IN IOWA---MEANS BRALEY IS SHOVEL-READY It's always good news when a Clinton comes in to campaign---it usually means the candidate is in the death throes---- the Clinton visit usually finishes him/her off.

=============================================

Poor Joni is at the mercy of the Dummycrats' vote fraud meat grinder----b/c when Braley loses, the long knives will be out for lamebrain Michelle Obama.

The Princeton grad can't even read. Surrounded by Braley campaign posters at an Iowa campaign rally, she kept calling him "Bailey."

Now that she "likes" her country and has a bit of self-esteem, ensconced in the WH at the rate of $1.5 billion per year----plus her endless posh vacays----Obama wont allow her royal self to be tarnished.

Vote fraud is on bigtime.

=============================================

JONI'S FIGHTING BACK Joni and the RNC filed open records requests with five Iowa counties, seeking materials that include training manuals, satellite voting locations, names of precinct ballot counters, recount procedures and any communications sent to her competitor, Cong Bruce Braley --significantly--has not made a similar request.

=================================

<><> HEALTHCARE MY AUNT TILLY---Healthcare.gov is a sub rosa Dummycrat voter registration site. "Obamacare" is a huge voter fraud machine---registering unsuspecting enrollees who get plugged into Democrat voter rolls just by enrolling for "healthcare."

<><> NEWS STORY--Local couple received pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care); an envelope from the state's Obamacare website contained a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.

<><> Another Obamacare web site reported it "accidentally" registered 4000 latinos.

=====================================================

America-Hating La Raza Plots to Thwart US Elections--Aids and Abets Election Fraud....Colludes and conspires w/ non-citizens.

La Raza Circulating Wash/Po's State-By-State Guide On Where To Vote Without Photo ID...

STORY HERE: http://dailycaller.com/2014/10/29/la-raza-promotes-washington-post-guide-on-where-people-can-vote-without-an-id/

Third World pressure groups undermine US elections to suck-up tax dollars and to gain power over real Americans---prodding Obama to E/O amnesty.

=================================================

CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN--La Raza needs to be investigated for aiding and abetting subversion of US elections.

=======================================

<><> ....the NC State Bd of Elections discovered thousands of illegal voters when the DMV ran a search for DACAs w/ driver's licenses. Apparently, NC DACA's can get drivers licenses, but are not able to vote (/snix).

Be ready for a national upheaval if the Dumbocrats steal midterms.

“I can’t recall” “I don’t believe you can prove that” “That is not my memory....” and a hundred other diversions she used during her husband’s tenure and her own pitiful performance as a US Senator and a Cabinet Secretary.

When will Hillary explain why she isn’t getting filthy rich sitting on her fat ass trading cattle futures?

A week before Joni’s meeting with the Register’s editorial board, this paper printed a full page weeper piece praising and saying good bye to Tom Harkin.

Yeah, I think she takes politics seriously...

This from the ‘listening tour’ devotee. Hillary’s whole campaign strategy, both for the Senate from NY, and now for the Presidency, is to avoid questions at all costs.

It was a one-time windfall because it was the purchase of a governor not a rent-to-own arrangement. I doubt she could make heads or tails of the published commodities information - if she had continued trading she would have probably lost that $100K windfall in no time.

It would be fun to watch her squirm as she is asked questions about it under oath.

Hillary enjoyed a cleverly laundered bribe from Tyson Foods with that cattle futures play. Her bit about getting savvy by reading the WSJ was hilarious.

To Hillary Clinton, question 1: Where were you and obama on 9-11-2012?

2nd question: Why were you and obama sending weapons to the the terrorists?

No dodging allowed.
