Hillary’s leap of faith over Lewinsky (Hillary: I love my God!)
Associated Press ^ | June 05, 2007 | Associated Press

"I am very grateful that I had a grounding in faith that gave me the courage and the strength to do what I thought was right, regardless of what the world thought," Clinton said during a forum where the three leading Democratic presidential candidates talked about faith and values.

"I'm not sure I would have gotten through it without my faith," she said in response to a question about how she dealt with the infidelity.

The forum, sponsored by the liberal Sojourners/Call to Renewal evangelical organization, provided an uncommon glimpse into the most personal beliefs of Clinton and rivals John Edwards and Barack Obama. The three candidates were invited by Sojourners founder Jim Wallis; most of the other Democratic candidates appeared on CNN later Monday to discuss their faith.

The most intimate question came about the Clintons' relationship, one of the world's most debated marriages but one that the husband and wife rarely speak openly about.

Clinton said she's "been tested in ways that are both publicly known and those that are not so well known or not known at all." She said it's those times when her personal faith and the prayers of others sustain her.

"At those moments in time when you are tested, it is absolutely essential that you be grounded in your faith," she said.

Edwards revealed that he prays - and sins - every day. The crowd gasped loudly when moderator Soledad O'Brien asked Edwards to name the biggest sin he ever committed, and he won their applause when he said he would have a hard time naming one thing.

"I sin every single day," said Edwards, the 2004 vice presidential nominee. "We are all sinners and we all fall short."

Hillary is a foul-mouthed mean old broad that had a habit of telling the secret service to "f-off!" while she was in the White House.

I laugh every time I see this kind of garbage which is totally generated by her political handlers.

Hillary has unshaken faith in Socialism, despite its gazillions of utter failures. She loves her god: power.

She's really a very religious person, if you think about it.

That’s special. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of these as the months progress. BTW, where was Obama?

Senator Clinton never says what her faith IS.

She never quotes passages in the Bible or prayers of any kind.

I don’t think she prays. If anything, she hopes, and hoping is not praying. Hoping is, well, hoping.

“I’m not sure I would have gotten through it without my faith,” she said in response to a question about how she dealt with the infidelity. “

It also helped that Sen. Moynahan conveniently “retired” and she was handed the NY Senate seat by the Democratic party for not leaving BJ.

Hillary Clinton Lashes Out at New Biography

An angry Hillary Clinton has responded to a new book highly critical of the New York Senator, calling it a “work of fiction.”

But a new report about the book confirms what was first revealed exclusively in NewsMax’s Insider Report this past weekend: The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan and his wife, Liz, despised Hillary.

For the Insider Report, NewsMax pundit John LeBoutillier chatted with Ed Klein, author of “The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She’ll Go to Become President.”
LeBoutillier said the book cuts through the mainstream media’s pro-Hillary propaganda and gives readers “a look at the lying, manipulating, dishonest – and extremely dysfunctional – former first lady who has been on an inexorable march to the Oval Office for over 30 years.”

In a sign the Clinton camp is clearly worried about the book and its revelations about Hillary, Hillary’s aide took the unusual step of slamming the book, which is being excerpted in Vanity Fair magazine and will roll off the presses later this month.

As NewsMax first reported, the Vanity Fair excerpt will focus on the vitriol between Hillary and the Moynihans.

“Sen. Clinton will always be proud to have had the support of Sen. Moynihan, and as she has said many times, wishes she still had his wisdom and counsel,” said spokesman Philippe Reines.

“Beyond that, we don’t comment on works of fiction, let alone a book full of blatant fabrications.”

Our Insider Report predicted the angry response to the book from Hillary’s camp: “Team Clinton undoubtedly plans a fierce counterattack on Klein as soon as the book is published, but with this author they are going to have a tough time.”

Klein has worked for the most liberal publications in the U.S., including Newsweek and The New York Times Magazine, and he spoke to almost 100 people close to Hillary going back to the 1960s.

NewsMax’s Insider Report revealed details of Clinton’s meeting with Moynihan when she decided to run for his Senate seat and came to Washington to seek his blessing.

Clinton expected a “cakewalk” of an endorsement meeting, but things quickly grew ugly, said LeBoutillier.

“Both the Senator and his wife, Liz, went ‘after’ Hillary for her years of lies, deceptions and exaggerations. Clearly there was no love lost between the Moynihans and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“As Liz Moynihan questioned Hillary about her repeated dishonesty, and as Hillary dodged and weaved and lied even more, Pat Moynihan could take it no longer. He stood up and said, ‘I have to go up to the Senate.’ He left – but actually just went next door to another apartment to get away from Hillary.”

Now the New York Post is running a preview of the book, based on the Vanity Fair excerpt, that echoes the Insider Report.

“Sen. Moynihan’s wife, Liz, griped to a friend that Hillary Clinton is ‘duplicitous. She would say or do anything that would forward her ambitions,’” the Post reports.

Klein’s book also quotes Liz Moynihan as saying: “She can look you straight in the eye and lie, and sort of not know she’s lying. ‘Lying’ isn’t a sufficient word; it’s a distortion of the truth to fit her case.”

Klein writes that at a meeting, Liz Moynihan was furious when Clinton claimed credit for a health care bill making its way through Congress.

According to the book, Liz barked: “Hillary! That’s Pat’s bill!”

“Clinton said she’s “been tested in ways that are both publicly known and those that are not so well known or not known at all.”

What we do know about her suggests that what we don’t know at all must be some pretty scary stuff. Interestingly, from the excerpts I have read in Bernsteins new book about her, he validates just about everything that was said about them, which they denied throughout their joint presidency. Betsy Wright seems to confirm that Lewinski was the tip of the iceberg of Bill’s women in the White House, as well as her efforts as his chief of staff in Little Rock, and the fact that she actually worked for Hillary in that role.

The Lord tells us in Matthew 7:16, "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" By her unwavering and steadfast support of abortion, Hillary has made her works known. She has enabled and aided a known adulterer and perjurer. She has used people and then thrown them away when they were no longer any use to her.

The Lord certainly has something more to say to people like this, "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matt. 7:22-23)

“I’m not sure I would have gotten through it without my faith ....”

Billy Dale probably said the same thing too, when the “Christian” Hildebeast got him fired and railroaded into criminal court.

She is the scum of the earth, and anyone who really believes any of her “faith” claptrap is a fool.

Evangelical Leftists/Marxists/Socialists Wolves wearing the sheep-skins
of Christianity would be an apt description.
