One Of Hillary’s Top VP Picks Also Destroyed Emails, Used A Secret Account
The Daily Caller ^ | 07/20/2016 | MICHAEL BASTASCH

Posted on 07/20/2016 2:58:05 PM PDT by MaxistheBest

One of the top candidates being considered for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Running mate in 2016 has had some email problems of his own.

Tom Vilsack, the former governor of Iowa and President Barack Obama’s current secretary of agriculture, was caught up in a 2004 scandal that resulted in emails being “inadvertently” destroyed. Vilsack partially blamed himself for destroying emails regarding the Iowa Department of Economic Development Foundation. The Des Moines Register had requested the emails.

Vilsack’s response to the controversy, rather ironically, mirrored Clinton’s response to her own email scandal: he basically said he was old and didn’t know how to use email.

“I’m 52 years old, and I don’t know much about technology,” Vilsack said at the time, according to The National Review. “I don’t even know how to send a response to an e-mail, that’s how technologically deficient I am.”

Since all LIBs are mentally ill and all DIMs are some kind of criminal or other, I guess the life-long liar and chronic criminal, hillary, doesn’t have a lot of “good” choices.

I wonder if Vilsack gets demonized by rats for doing the right thing in signing the English bill.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/the-party-of-steve-king

King sealed the deal on his pet piece of English-only legislation in 2002, when he and Siegrist faced off in a crowded primary for a safe Republican congressional district. King telegraphed a threatening message to Siegrist through one of the Iowa Speaker’s friends: If Siegrist didn’t bring up the bill for a vote, King would “hit him over the head with it at every stop on the campaign trail.” At the time, the legislation enjoyed the support of 80 percent of voters.

Siegrist relented; the bill passed in the House on February 26 of that year and was signed into law by Democratic Governor Tom Vilsack.

Liar. Bald-faced liar.

Liberal excuse # 2: I’m drool-stupid, so no crime was committed by me during that huge crime that took place because of me.

He’s a politician, and doesn’t know how to use email as a governor in the 21st century. What kind of people are they?

But doesn’t this best exemplify what is wrong with the Democrat party and their view of government in general? Here are a bunch of Democrats who all deleted a ton of government documents, and when caught they say “I don’t know how to use it”. But somehow not knowing how to use it didn’t stop them from using it.

That is also how they govern. They don’t know jack about Economics, about Job Creation, Industry, Security, Eduction, Infrastructure or Military... and yet they run around like decapitated chickens making the laws and policies governing these areas all the while demagoguing those who disagree with their moronic views. This sums up perfectly why we need to have very limited government.

Of course, the truth is they are probably just big fat liars. But all the more reason why we should have limited government, to limit our exposure to jerks like them. Let them open a bakery or flower shop or small factory and lie to their customers and vendors. See how long they last. Only politics rewards liars and fools.
