Why Can't Hillary Clinton Stop Lying?
The Atlantic ^ | 8/1/2016 | Ron Fournier

Posted on 08/01/2016 1:10:38 PM PDT by simpson96

This is a note to Clinton Democrats—a desperate plea, actually. Your candidate staged a winning convention in Philadelphia: big stars, tight messaging, and a compelling case against her rival, Donald Trump.

The Republican nominee followed up by smearing a war hero’s family, revealing his ignorance about Russia’s incursions into Ukraine, denying a relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he had previously claimed, and failing to quell suspicions that his team changed the GOP platform to protect Putin’s interests.

Hillary Clinton may be rising in the polls as a result, which is good news for people like me across the political spectrum who find Trump to be vacuous, soulless, and temperamentally unfit for the presidency.

Yet I’m not angry at Trump; I expect him to be repugnant. I am angry at Clinton, because she followed up her convention with another unnecessary lie; another excuse for people to distrust her; another thin reed upon which undecided voters could justify a belated allegiance to a man who former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called “a dangerous demagogue.”

On Sunday, the former secretary of state told FOX News’ Chris Wallace that FBI Director James Comey cleared her of misleading the public about her rogue email server at the state department: “Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails.”

That’s wrong and she knows it, which makes it a lie.

If you're Hillary, you lie pathologically.

It's what you do.

Per the Bible, Satan is a liar and the father of lies. It’s in Hillary’s genes, considering who her “father” is.

It’s what pathological liars do.

Does a 12 step program for liar's exist?

When I took polygraphs they would have you give a blatantly false answer to an obvious question to gauge your reaction.

Why stop now?

Telling the truth would kill her?

What difference does it make?

Dude, like she no longer even knows what truth is. She is so far down the rabbit hole, she no longer knows it’s a hole.

They'll get the same response on a lie with a pathological liar thatare educated enough with the system to know that's exactly what the polygraph examiner is going to do.

The press use to ridicule GWB for “Bushisms,” but the LMSM eats up clinton lies like it, and her supporters, were made of the same substance.
