Holy Hillary: I Always Prayed

Borrowing a page from President Bush, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told a Boston audience this week that prayer has always played a meaningful role in her life - though accounts from her days as a student radical suggest that's probably not true.
"I've always been a praying person," Clinton told a crowd of more than 500, including many religious leaders, at Boston's Fairmont Copley Plaza. According to the Boston Globe, the newly religious former first lady "invoked God more than half a dozen times" as she urged society to accommodate religious people who "live out their faith in the public square."
Though she was raised as a Methodist, Clinton's open embrace of God, along with her insistence that she's "always been a praying person," has to come as a shock to those who remember her college days.
Back then, Clinton was far more likely to be seen reading not the Bible but the writings of Marx and Mao - and had close associations with unabashed Communists, to whom the mere mention of religion was heresy.
One was Robert Treuhaft, who, as noted in the late Barbara Olson's Hillary biography, "Hell to Pay," had "dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party."
In 1972 Treuhaft offered the future senator a summer internship at the Universiy of California's Berkeley campus. Clinton accepted, immersing herself in Truehaft's brand of radical Stalinism. When she returned, she was, according to Olson, "a budding Leninist."
If Sen. Clinton was "a praying person" back then, she must have kept it well concealed from her radical mentors.

She may be a-prayin', but is she o-beyin'? And I quote - "The fervent prayers of a RIGHTEOUS man are heard by the Lord."

Hillary Clinton, winsome as an iron foundry, is trying to give her lies a religious overtone. As a matter of fact, the left is backpedaling towards the center to keep those pesky believers in God and the bible, the ones they've been trashing for years and years, from dumping them entirely...it is just amazing what some politicians will do for a vote.
Some people live their faiths, you know them by their actions. Others root around in their closets and pull out that faith suit or dress to wear on various occasions and fail to see that the clothes dont fit, an probably never did Hillary is one of the latter. Remember she found she had Jewish blood; she says she tried to join the military; she had no idea about bill and monica
.whatever she says, she is lying!
By the way, apparently if you type just one word into Keyword and that word is Hillary - you get that litany of keywords above
