LIE OF THE WEEK: 02-22-2008

Senator Hillary Clinton on comparing herself to Senator Obama:

"It's time that we move from good words to good works, from sound bites to sound solutions."

THE TRUTH: The Clintons have always been about spin and "good words" to gain and exploit power and not much else. They have basically no positive record to stand on, which is why they always focus on the surpluses of the Clinton era, which had much more to do with their luck of being in power when the internet boom occurred and nothing to do with their policies. (In fact, it was their policies that allowed the internet bust to occur after the unrestrained growth of IPOs of completely unprofitable companies based purely on hype). Although it is also true that Senator Obama also doesn't have much of a positive record to stand on either, he's not stuck with the Clintons' very large negative record. Any return of the Clintons to power would just continue the acceleration of decline of America's public integrity and values and the voters of America need to continue to defy their lies by voting against them in every case.
