Speaking on C-SPAN's "In Depth" Sunday, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich issued a strong condemnation of President Bill Clinton's character, Clinton's recent comments against Gingrich over the 1998 impeachment and the former president's recent claim that he was always against the war in Iraq.
"He is fundamentally dishonest on a routine, regular basis," said Gingrich. "It's just his personality. He tells you the version he needs to be who he is to get through this week. And he just did it in Iowa over whether he used to be against the war in Iraq."
Clinton told a crowd gathered in Iowa on Tuesday that he that he "opposed Iraq from the beginning." This statement doesn't perfectly square with previous statements by Clinton, including one in 2003 when he said, "I supported the president when he asked for authority to stand up against weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."
Really Newt? It's not like I pointed that out a while ago, what it with his lies about Osama, Iraq, and other national concerns.
It really shouldn't be all that surprising, Hillary exudes the same qualities that Bill does.
And yet, for the fact that everyone can see clearly through her and his dishonesty, they enjoy a commanding lead in some polls.
I guess you can fool some of the people some of the time.
You know what would be refreshing? A politician who would tell you what they think and feel, and if they disagree with you, why they feel that way.
Also, I'd love a politician to tell me: I don't know. When was the last time you heard a politician say that when faced with a tough question? Everytime I seem to think: "that's a softball question", you see politicians try to weasel their way out of directly answering it.
Do I need to run for office to get some real changes done here? I've already gone on rants with friends and family, and they've said they would vote for me if I ran for office. What do you think? Would you vote for me?
