Sestak Responds (all smoke and mirrors)
NRO ^ | May 28, 2010 | Daniel Foster

From a just released statement:

"Last summer, I received a phone call from President Clinton. During the course of the conversation, he expressed concern over my prospects if I were to enter the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate and the value of having me stay in the House of Representatives because of my military background. He said that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel had spoken with him about my being on a Presidential Board while remaining in the House of Representatives. I said no. I told President Clinton that my only consideration in getting into the Senate race or not was whether it was the right thing to do for Pennsylvania working families and not any offer. The former President said he knew I'd say that, and the conversation moved on to other subjects.

"There are many important challenges facing Pennsylvania and the rest of the country. I intend to remain focused on those issues and continue my fight on behalf of working families."

How better to handle than to have the Perjurer-in-Chief and just another democrat who “wants to work for the American people” sweep it all under the rug.

Sestak had no choice.....change your story to this fabrication or get no monetary help in the election.

Not only that - if you don't get on the same page as us, your political future in the Democrat Party is kaput, fini, over.

“Exactly, if it was as innocuous as they are trying to make it out to be, why would Sestak even say anything at all about it, let alone make an accusation that implies a crime and then give no details.”

Sestak: “ I am a liar. I lied when I said I was offered a job. If you elect me I promise I will not lie to you ever again.”

He is in good company though...

Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey ....”Clinton's an unusually good liar. Unusually good. Do you realize that?”

Sestak is flat out lying. An offer to become a member of a board while serving in the House (as now claimed by Sestak et al) is not a job offer for a high ranking position in exchange for dropping out of the senate primary (as then claimed by Sestak). The two aren’t remotely close. That’s a 180...a flat out full fledged lie.

“...and there I was, walking this little old lady down the street, when, there was this big car, no this HUGE 18-wheeler coming right toward us. Morgan Fairchild was driving it..yeah, that’s the ticket...”
