Another Clinton LIE. This one on energy...
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 06:58 PM by Labors of Hercules
Obama presses on gas prices, Clinton highlights energy bill...

Clinton, who is challenging him for the Democratic presidential nomination, derided his promise to take on special interests.

"When it came time to stand up against the oil companies, to stand against Dick Cheney's energy bill, my opponent voted for it and I voted against it," the New York senator said at a rally at Indiana University in Bloomington. "And that bill had billions of dollars in giveaways to the oil companies. It was the best bill that the energy companies could buy."

The 2005 energy bill actually raised taxes on the oil and gas industry by about $300 million over 11 years, according to the Congressional Research Service.

I am really getting sick of Hillary making shit up, especially when noone in the MSM thinks to call her on it. She is a FUCKING LIAR.

3. Just like when Obama LIED about Clinton's health care plan
And when he lied about Hillary being tied to special interest money where he was not. Pacs and lobby $, for instance.

He is a FUCKING LIAR.

Hillary is half right about her quote, as Obama is half right about Hillary's health care plan, they all do this crap. But she is evil, and therefore SHE IS A FUCKING LIAR and Obama is the second coming of gooey goodness.

7. half right? What the fuck is that?
Hillary has been lying her ass off throughout this campaign, sometimes egregiously. I have seen Obama qualify statements (for example, by saying he doesn't take money from FEDERAL lobbyists), but I have yet to hear him say anything that was completely fabricated (sniper fire?) or just plain bullshit (saying Obama's health plan will cost $1700 more per person than hers will).

6. $300 million in tax increases by 2016, but over $10 billion in subsidies and breaks *per year*
This bill has been discussed at length in other forums here, especially the Energy/Environment forum.

Yes, Dick Cheney was its main architect. Yes, Obama supported it. I'm sure there is some way it will be described to make Obama look like a Visionary, an American Hero, and a Man of Wisdom.

You folks would call Hillary a liar if it was 8:14 and she said it was "about quarter after eight". Children in kindergarten use that kind of definition of "lie". The only difference is that adults can use the phrase "FUCKING LIAR" without getting their mouths washed out for it.

If you're getting sick, it's from your own hatred.

8. nice spin. wrong, but at least it was somewhat literate.
And you are absolutely right. I hate people who distort the truth for their own benefit.
