If we could easily spot this as a falsehood, why did Clinton and her staff believe it? Do they not know that Medicaid is available for pregnant women? They should have noticed something wrong with the story as told to them. How can they claim to "fix" the health care system if they do not know how it currently works?

The MSM kept her "ducking bullets" lie a secret for 7 years - the Clintons are used to the "pass". She probably expected it with this lie too.

Too bad the MSM didn't have the wit to understand that credibility was their only product.

Maybe, finally, the internet is going to put an end to this yarn-telling that has characterized politics for so long.

Not only are most of the stories embellished-—the Witch just happens to be the worst at that-—they don’t mean anything in terms of policy.

Anyone who thinks the poor are turned away from hospitals in this country have never sat in an ER. And even if it happened in this case or that, that says NOTHING about the state of health care in this country or what the policy issues are.

Just like being pinned down by sniper fire (how dare that Witch laugh about her despicable lies on Leno?) says NOTHING about one’s ability to be Commander in Chief.

Add this one to the list...

Anyone see a pattern? Clinton, Gore and Kerry all used phony human props to cite their position on health care insurance.



During John Kerry's nomination acceptance speech during the 2004 DNC, he trotted out his health insurance "poster child", Mary Ann Knowles. Kerry stated that she had to "keep working day after day right through her chemotherapy, no matter how sick she felt, because she was terrified of losing her family's health insurance". In reality, she had excellent coverage with 26 weeks of paid disability leave, but she chose to work through most of her treatment because her husband was unemployed.

Video of Kerry's Speech

Al Gore tried this same tactic in 2000 with Winifred Skinner.

Al Gore said, "It brings tears to your eyes. Here's this adorable, elderly woman out in Iowa who's so sick and so poor, that in order to pay for medicines she needs to stay alive, she has to scavenge in a local dump yard for cast-off tin cans."

"She gets a small pension," he said. "But in order to pay for her prescription drug benefits she has to go out seven days a week, several hours a day, picking up cans."

It turns out, as the statement was rectified, Mrs. Skinner goes out zero days a week, for zero hours a day, and that she was only speaking "in the name of" people she assumes must do this.


In 1994, Hillary Clinton used Kathy Bush when citing her case as an example of the high cost of medical care.



Later, investigators found the mother guilty of intentionally making her daughter sick and forcing her to undergo more than 40 needless surgeries, in what prosecutors called a case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.

“Forty-two-year old Kathy Bush had been charged with aggravated child abuse and fraud for bilking thousands of dollars from the State of Florida for medical expenses incurred by her daughter, Jennifer. The mother faces up to 45 years in prison.”

Anyone who has ever worked in a hospital knows that 99% of the democrat tales on health care is bull. This being one of the more blatant lies.

At this point a really shocking headline would be:

In a rare, unguarded moment, Hillary accidentally said something that was true.

Your own reaction to those words illustrates the shock value. We expect Clintons to lie and they've always come through with some biggies. If they were to suddenly start telling the truth it could have an effect on the earth's orbit around the sun.

BJ used to say how amazed he was how he could say anything and PravdABDNC would never call him on them. She gets the same except when they help Black Oblack.

If some of you can provide some headlines and pictures, this deserves a YouTube. If someone can capture the video clip of an ad and put in in .wmv format, that would be helpful. I do the YouTubes with Windows Movie Maker.

Anyone with an brain would think this story to be a suspect.

But people like Hillary are prone to think the worst of America, especially the parts of America where the government doesn't have its claws involved.

“In this case, we did try but were not able to fully vet it,” Mr. Elleithee said.

So DON'T TELL IT.

I wonder if that little old lady with the Winnebago who lived off of the money she got from recycling will show up at any of her debates.

But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured. “We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story,” said Rick Castrop, chief executive officer of the O’Bleness Health System.

So Hillary Lies -- AGAIN. Well......

I heard about this on the radio, and the reporter must not have been a Clinton supporter, she was so enthusiastic in her reading.
