Will Hillary start crying again?
Today, Hillary went on the defensive over her unfortunate remark that Lyndon Johnson had done more for the civil rights movement than Martin Luther King. She is caught in another lie. Will African American voters in South Carolina give her the sympathy vote if she starts crying again?
WASHINGTON -- While Hillary Rodham Clinton came out second best to Barack Obama in their long-range oratorical duel at Selma, Ala., the real problem with her visit there a week ago concerned her March 4 speech's claim of her attachment to Martin Luther King Jr. as a high school student in 1963. How, then, could she be a "Goldwater girl" in the next year's presidential election? The incompatibility of those two positions of 40 years ago was noted to me by Democratic old-timers who were shocked by Sen. Clinton's temerity in pursuing her presidential candidacy.
Sen. Clinton declared: "As a young girl [age 16], I had the great privilege of hearing Dr. King speak in Chicago. The year was 1963. My youth minister from our church took a few of us down on a cold January night to hear [King]. . . . And he called on us, he challenged us that evening to stay awake during the great revolution that the civil rights pioneers were waging on behalf of a more perfect union."
Young Hillary Rodham answered that challenge the next year as the 17-year-old class president at Maine East High School in the Chicago suburbs. She described herself in her memoirs as "an active Young Republican" and "a Goldwater girl, right down to my cowgirl outfit." As a politically attuned honor student, she must have known that Goldwater was one of only six Republican senators who joined Southern Democratic segregationists opposing the historic voting rights act of 1964 inspired by King.
I don't like these internal fights. I detest them. I especially hate when someone I admire like Sen. Clinton says something as brazenly horrific as this in order to puff up her own political fortunes.
Hillary was asked about Obama's rejoinder that there's something vaguely un-American about dismissing hopes as false, and that it doesn't jibe with the careers of figures like like John F. Kennedy and King.
"Dr. King's dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act," Clinton said. "It took a president to get it done."
It's not as if Lyndon Johnson couldn't wait to sign the Civil Rights Act. He was right to do it and it changed the country. But there is no civil rights movement, there is no America as we know it today without the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. In my eyes, and the eyes of millions of people of all races and sexes, Rev. King is the greatest American who ever lived. He was not just a talker, he was the ultimate "doer". - Oliver Willis
Instead of denying what she has said, trying to make us believe that two lies equal one truth - why not just admit that she screwed up?

It's like wondering what a magician has up his sleeve. What will her handlers have her rehearsing next? Let's see, we can't cry anymore, so what can we do? We played the race card, the gender card, and the sympathy card. I think I will start a raffle to see which card is coming up next. Will she be a victim again? She has to pull this trick off quickly, isn't the voting tomorrow? Tune in tomorrow folks, for the answer to this one! ~

Who cares about the crying? Really!
What I don't doubt is her ability to lie. She DOES NOT HAVE 35 YEARS EXPERIENCE. She is junior senator just like Obama. We need to get off this gender, race and crying jag stuff and start asking real questions. Like what is her record? Here it is, and isn't pretty or long.
We can't vote on promises, we need to vote on performance, and I am not talking about acting. This woman could have her finger on the big red button!

I read a biography about Castro and the same pattern arises. It was difficult to determing what really Castro was all about. He had taken fascist positions, then he claimed to be purely centrist and then of course extreme left. EVen the CIA understimated him in the beginning just because of his record of contradictions. The same goes with the Clinton's...Americans should stay away from them they are trouble...
