Forums - Politics - Lou Dobbs: Leaked Emails Show Hillary's Lying About "Everything She Says"

Isn't it sad that the worst democrate candidate ever is still the best choice?

Well, the only politician that can have their private and public positions being the same is either a dictator or someone without any influence. All other have to make compromises with their private positions to be able to form alliances to further their cause.



So.... like all politicians? 



Most people have will tell you something different publicly than they would in private, it's not exclusive to politicians. Nor is it necessarily the same as lying (though it can of course mean that too)

You dont't have to be a moron to work at Fox, but it helps a lot, apparently.

The level of spin on this little thread is A-Mazing.

And, no. Not ALL politicians have public positions that are the exact opposite of their private positions. However, this does seem to be the case with Hillary. Here's her PRIVATE position in a PRIVATE speech she gave some banksters after being paid a few hundred thousand.

"*Clinton: As Senator, “I Represented And Worked With” So Many On Wall Street And “Did All I Could To Make Sure They Continued To Prosper”"

That's kind of out of context.  Here is the full line...

"But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay."

That certainly seems less sinister now, doesn't it?  And if we take the full paragraph...

" When I was a Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented principled people who made their living in finance. But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in '06, '07 for doing something about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial system is essential. So when I raised early warnings about early warnings about subprime mortgages and called for regulating derivatives and over complex financial products, I didn't get some big arguments, because people sort of said, no, that makes sense. But boy, have we had fights about it ever since.”

I'm not seeing anything damning here.  Do you?



"You just have to sort of figure out how to -- getting back to that word, "balance" -- how to balance the public and the private efforts that are necessary to be successful, politically, and that's not just a comment about today. That, I think, has probably been true for all of our history, and if you saw the Spielberg movie, Lincoln, and how he was maneuvering and working to get the 13th Amendment passed, and he called one of my favorite predecessors, Secretary Seward, who had been the governor and senator from New York, ran against Lincoln for president, and he told Seward, I need your help to get this done. And Seward called some of his lobbyist friends who knew how to make a deal, and they just kept going at it. I mean, politics is like sausage being made. It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody's watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position. And finally, I think -- I believe in evidence-based decision making. I want to know what the facts are. I mean, it's like when you guys go into some kind of a deal, you know, are you going to do that development or not, are you going to do that renovation or not, you know, you look at the numbers. You try to figure out what's going to work and what's not going to work."

Let's keep things in context, shall we?



All these damage control threads by Trump supporters are unintentially hilarious.

Moving to politics.
Wasn't this known at least since the Democratic primaries?
