Why Can't Hillary Clinton Stop Lying?
The Atlantic ^ | 8/1/2016 | Ron Fournier

Posted on 08/01/2016 1:10:38 PM PDT by simpson96

This is a note to Clinton Democrats—a desperate plea, actually. Your candidate staged a winning convention in Philadelphia: big stars, tight messaging, and a compelling case against her rival, Donald Trump.

The Republican nominee followed up by smearing a war hero’s family, revealing his ignorance about Russia’s incursions into Ukraine, denying a relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he had previously claimed, and failing to quell suspicions that his team changed the GOP platform to protect Putin’s interests.

Hillary Clinton may be rising in the polls as a result, which is good news for people like me across the political spectrum who find Trump to be vacuous, soulless, and temperamentally unfit for the presidency.

Yet I’m not angry at Trump; I expect him to be repugnant. I am angry at Clinton, because she followed up her convention with another unnecessary lie; another excuse for people to distrust her; another thin reed upon which undecided voters could justify a belated allegiance to a man who former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called “a dangerous demagogue.”

On Sunday, the former secretary of state told FOX News’ Chris Wallace that FBI Director James Comey cleared her of misleading the public about her rogue email server at the state department: “Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails.”

That’s wrong and she knows it, which makes it a lie.

Because the truth would burn her to death like a vampire in sunlight.

Because she is still breathing. Stop asking her questions and she will stop lying.

I love how atheistic Dems (the in-crowd all distain God) suddenly are using words like “soulless.” No one is more heartless or soulless than Hillary R. Clinton. She’s a mess and Fournier better face up to the fact that his candidate is a loser.

I used to be around some polygraph examiners all the time and they would tell me the reason you can't use polygraph exams as evidence in court is because of pathological liars. They'll pass the damn test every time because they feel no guilt and don't have a conscience. They would tell me they could tell they were lying but the machine didnt register the physiological responses because they had none. Years after after having investigated and interviewing so many of them I can say they are absolutely right. Now, I can tell when they are lying even though they don't exhibit any signs of nervousness too.

Hitlery will lie, cheat and steal all she wants to because she knows that under this administration she will never be held accountable. She will never be prosecuted for her crimes under this DOJ, she will never be held accountable with this liberal MSM. She has no conscience stopping her, so she has no reason to stop.
