Why do we take this shit, as a species?

Hillary may be slightly better than McCain, or any other Repub. for that matter, but she's still a lying scumfuck. Ah, politicians…

The interesting thing is that, despite having been caught out, red-handed, no doubt about it lying, Hillary is STILL a candidate for the Prez. Eh…

The point is not the thing she lied about, it's the fact that it was such a pointless whopper that you have to ask, If Hill is lying about something like this, what else is she making up?

There have been, since she made up all the sniper shit on Friday, various stories of things she's embellished or else simply made up to make herself look better. A meeting in Belfast City Hall, which never happened. Her opposition to NAFTA, which has come all of a sudden and entirely in reaction to the Obama Factor, since she was one of the biggest champions of it at the time.

I love how she has claimed responsibility for several of the Clinton admin's 'successes', but is distancing herself for NAFTA — even though of all the world crises she's claimed to have solved, this is the only one she was directly involved in… Yes, the one she was involved in starting!

I didn't know so much about NAFTA until I was reading Bill Hicks' most excellent Love All The People, which inspired me to find out more. He mentions NAFTA in a bit from late 1993 — when he was actually about to shuffle off the coil — and says things about 'Selling your lives from under you'. Interestingly, this is the reason the candidates are against it now. Sort of. Kind of. Well, Hill and Barack are both actually in favour, the little corporate whores that they are, but it always sounds good to make anti-NAFTA speeches in states where the effects of NAFTA are most felt — that is, where people's lives were sold out from under them.

My point is this, how can someone (Hillary) who is quite plainly a fucking lair still be in the running for Commander in Chief of the WORLD'S LARGEST ARMY? If she can't be trusted to tell the truth about something so utterly insignificant as whether or not she was shot at in Bosnia, then how can you trust her on health, foreign policy, NAFTA, anything at all?

She's a compulsive liar, you can see from the above video that she's MAKING IT UP AS SHE GOES ALONG.

I have no doubt that B.O. is every bit as duplicitous and untrustworthy as Hillary, but the fact is that she's displaying such a lack of respect for America's collective intelligence (which I maintain must be higher than the shit we see on TV would have us believe. The sleeping giant…) surely shows that she doesn't give a fuck? Surely it shows she definitely can't be trusted?

I really love this "I did misspeak the other day. This has been a very long campaign. Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else....I have written about it in my book and talked about it on many other occasions and last week, you know, for the first time in 12 or so years I misspoke."
--Hillary Clinton, Interview with KDKA Pittsburgh radio, March 25, 2008. Surely making shit up about being under sniper fire constitutes a little more than 'mispeaking'? Call it what it is, Hill — a fucking lie!

Meh, what's the point anyway? These elections…

Oh, here's another wonderful Hillary The Liar story, which doubles as an Obama The Liar story, regarding a leak from the Canadians on the NAFTA issue. According to, er, both candidates the other made covert contact with Canada to tell them their bluster about NAFTA was just that — political posturing. The story was broken by Hillary's staff, tarring Obama with the liar label. Shortly after this, Ian Brodie [Canadian Chief of Staff] allegedly also discussed musings by Obama's Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, saying people from her camp also told Canadians to take her NAFTA concerns with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile, McCain is making shit up about Iran and Al Qaeda being in bed together. Iran, apparently, is training Iraqi 'insurgents' and sending them back. The only flaw in this particular theory is the fact that it is blatantly untrue — for a great many reasons. Not least of which is this:

"[McCain] stands accused of mixing up Sunnis and Shiites. The liberal ThinkProgress website points out that Iran and al Qaeda represent opposite sides in the Iraqi civil war. Al Qaeda is a Sunni movement while Iran is the world's leading Shiite state (90 percent of Iranians are Shiites). So why should Iran be training Sunni extremists and sending them back into Iraq on suicide missions against Shiites?"

Interesting…

[EDIT] I love this comment from the Think Progress article: "Proof positive that McWar don’t know Shiite about Sunni’s."
