Assessing the candidates' overall truthfulness

Spot on MCPO Roger!!

He took issue with both PolitiFact and "a study from the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs that demonstrates empirically that PolitiFact.org, one of the nation's leading "fact checkers," finds that Republicans are dishonest in their claims three times as often as Democrats."

The problem with his response is that it's a straw man, the PolitiFact and the George Mason study only show that Republicans are more likely to lie... not that Democrats are always honest. So yes, it's easy to point out a whole lot of Democrat untruths. No one is saying Democrats are honest (they are not), just that they are less dishonest than Republicans. Democrats have nothing to be proud of here, less of a liar than that really bad liar isn't really an accolade.

MSgt (Join to see) - I didn't back up my claims about Clinton? Bill was prosecuted several times for sexual assault, that's a historical fact.

David, I am well aware of the allegations against Bill Clinton most of which resurface on right wing websites.
We all had to live through that period of time during Bills impeachment and acquittal. As far as I know that was the only time he was prosecuted and acquitted, which in legal terms is not guilty. He was sued but the suit was dropped. In one case the accuser recanted and apologized to Mrs. Clinton. There have been other accusers, some of which were contradicted by their own sworn testimony. All we have are speculation and assumptions based on opinions by people with an axe to grind. If there was proof of wrong doing why hasn’t there been another prosecution and trial? Another right wing conspiracy?? Of course there is.
I do feel for Mrs. Clinton. To have your personal life bantered about in public like a ping pong ball. All the hateful accusations against her and her family. Especially by people who claim to be Christians and claim to know forgiveness. I am also in awe of her. After all she has been through to go forward and serve as a US Senator and Secretary of State. To stick by her husband through all that. She must be one strong lady who must really love her family. I can't fault her for that.
That all said, I will let you have the last word. But I have few suggestions for before I sign off on this thread. I can tell that there is a lot of hate and fear in your tone. My suggestion to you is turn off the TV and computer for a while and read a good book. Maybe listen to a little NPR to keep up with current events. It will keep your blood pressure down. You might even learn a few things.

CPO Bill Towart - Impeached and acquitted (found not guilty). End of conversation.

Josh, You are absolutely correct. I was being sarcastic.

Ah, my apologies then. I misread the tone.
