I can and do agree with you about the lies. No lie is better or worse, they stack right up against each other with the same degree of holy batcrap! But if you or I had known about a WMD lie before Bush was elected you can bet your bottom dollar he would not have been elected. King Oral Office pants down would again never have been elected if that affair had happened before the election. That's the difference, her lying is before she has been elected and its out in the open and hurting her.
Does that mean she wouldn't be a fine President, no way, I think she would do a very fine job. She has the vast experience in Washington that's for sure and with that said she does have the connections.
The one thing that just blew me away was Oklahoma voted for the 2 extremes. Cruz, the so far right and Bern the so far left. Goes to show that we really have an all or nothing type of State. I am very pleased to see this great discussion here though.
Well, ya see...there is the rub... we did know about WMD. And he was elected. And the lies flowed forth that led to killing 4,000 + of our kids. Creating torture as just another day at the office - against our law as well as international law. Squandered $4 trillion fighting the wrong war, as well as diverting our attention and success from the real war that has the dubious "honor" of leaving us with ISIS today.
How did we know about WMD?? Well, at the time - in 2002-2003, well AFTER the election and 9/11, the CIA said they knew the Sadam wanted nukes. He had made inquiries into the processes. But they most importantly said they were pretty sure he had made close to zero progress on that front.
On the other WMD front - chemical weapons...it was well know he had them at one time, while fighting Iran. BECAUSE WE SUPPLIED THE INGREDIENTS and the instructions, some of the equipment (Germany was in on this, too), and all the encouragement a cheesy little tin-horn dictator would need to use them. Which he did against Iran and the Kurds. And by the time Baby Bush decided to go to war against him, it was also well known that he no longer had the chemicals he needed in any meaningful quantities, because we finally had stopped supplying him, and he ran out. But that didn't stop the building of the house of lies.
In Bush's 2003 State of the Union address, he brought up mobile WMD labs....which were just a little bit later found to mobile milk pasteurization and hydrogen generation trailers. "Oops...mea culpa...!!"
And then Bush threw the CIA under the bus in a way that surpasses anything 10 Obama's could have ever done.... But then, the CIA was also lying just because the "boss" told them what he wanted to hear, so they told him that...at least some of that... Plus, isn't that just a big part of their job anyway?? At least it is supposed to be - OUTSIDE the US.

As for Billy Bob...well, affairs don't mean squat to this country - especially the RWRE. If they did, Newt Gingrich would never have been tolerated for the more than 10 years he was keeping his harlot hanging around - this was rationalized and excused even when he told his wife on her sick bed (she is still alive, so wasn't death bed event) that he was through with her and was going with the hooker. (I have talked about Newt before, and was censored when I used the term whore, so took a more PC word this time...but I am going with the RWRE Biblical interpretation of what this woman would be referred to.)
And my theory about the whole Billy Bob/Hillary relationship is that it is no one's business if they wanna be swingers and everyone involved IS involved, like is the most likely scenario.
