LIE OF THE WEEK: 02-01-2008

Senator Hillary Clinton on being "an agent of change":

"So we [Obama and Clinton] have differences both at home and around the world, but, again, I would emphasize that what really is important here, because the Republicans were in California debating yesterday, they are more of the same.

Neither of us, just by looking at us, you can tell, we are not more of the same. We will change our country."

THE TRUTH: It's too early to tell whether Senator Obama is truly an agent of change or just hot air, but Senator Clinton has a clear history showing that she is not only a part of the corruption of Washington, but she is, in fact, a leader in most of the corrupt activities, such as illicit campaign fund-raising and influence peddling. Claiming that she is automatically not "more of the same" just because she is a woman and that Obama is that way because he is African-American is ridiculous gender- and race-bating. Democrats claim to be about equal justice and fairness in all things, but the truth is that the Clintons have not hesitated to play the race and gender cards in their favor when necessary. They always use despicable tactics when they perceive a threat to their return to power. The only change another Clinton presidency will cause is an acceleration of the decline of American values.
