Because they all lie and she doesn't lie anymore than anyone else. I am also not looking for the most honest person to be President.
That is my answer. What is yours?
so if they all went out and bit the heads off of little babies and drank their blood you would still support them? what kind of logic is that? that sir is the foundation of in group bias.
and if you think she lies just as much as the rest why are her lies bigger and why has she been caught on so many lies, those of which should and would be crime had anyone else done so? i just think she knows that support her will do so regardless so she doesn't even have to show them the respect of trying top appear honest, they will buy her crap no matter what.

Sounds like you support who you support no matter what. They could be a massive liar like Cruz or just incompetent like Gary Johnson.
If Trump wins there is no need to punch each other because America will be punching itself on its face.
got it so group think is ok with you and if your party was all for drinking baby blood you would still support them.
so again as long as everybody is doing it you're ok with it. what if everybody started smoking crack would you? wait is that why you're voting for the left because everyone else is doing it? are you devoid of your own opinion and are just following along with the masses? wonder if everyone here started backing trump would you too? i mean after all everyone else is doing it right?
When did I say I was ok with her lies? Sounds like you have a problem with telling the truth yourself.
Many people thought the Central Park Five were guilty. Trump took out a full page ad. Trump asked for them to be executed. He was wrong. They were innocent. Why did so many people think they rowed a woman? Have outrage for the Clinton allegations. I'm just wondering why you are so angry about allegations but turn a blind eye to factual, irrefutable situations like the one above?
Morfeeis is right when it comes to just accepting lies because they all do it, we'll never get any better if we just keep accepting that way of thinking. I do think this election cycle when you have to choose between a regular liar and a psycho liar with a superiority complex the regular liar is the better choice.
I really wish HRC wasn't the nominee but she is and she is a better choice than Trump, it just sucks that Johnson and Stein have no chance to even make a dent in this election. Johnson has been putting his foot in his mouth over the last few weeks by showing how ignorant he is when it comes to foreign affairs and an odd stance on climate change while Stein will come off as a crackpot leftist to the center right independent voters.
We need better choices, in order to get them we do need to start voting for people outside of the two party monopoly that's currently controlling our political system, we need to start showing them that if they don't start doing the peoples business that the people will kick them out on their asses. That being said this isn't the year to take that risk, Trump cannot be allowed to take the white house, for all the hate HRC gets here the rest of the world respects her and she's not an idiot, she's a political coward and very calculating but she's still 1000 times better than the only other candidate that has a shot at winning this cycle.

We all know Killary isn't flawless. Far from it. Nobody on here has come close to saying she's perfect. Having said that, she is the only one to vote for. There's no other way about it. If you're not in a state that's a guaranteed dem win, voting for anybody else other than Killary is a vote for Trump.
I look at it this way: One has only served them self to get ahead while the other has served for the greater good (even if it has benefited them financially) to get ahead. We can argue all day about the lies and the subterfuge. However, in the end, it all comes down if you want a clown in office or someone you just hate.
I think you're just assuming anything anyone says about Hillary is true so anything she says is a lie. She does lie, a lot, and she's been under constant attack from the right-wing media for three decades and been damn near under constant investigation from Congress for the past several years. If she did anything that was actually illegal and warranted charges, they would have been brought up by now. The problem is, you seem like you're giving credence to things that are demonstrably untrue (which, to be honest, is kind of your thing) like she ordered a standdown at Benghazi and other things that are repeated over and over and over and that no amount of repetition will ever make true.
I would respect someone who traffics in truth making the statement you made, but your post history shows you're not interested at all in truth, and you'll repeat things that have been proven false as long as it makes Clinton look bad. The fact that you now are whining about her lies just tells me you are either a brazen hypocrite or just oblivious.
Agree. You can tell about a person's passion by what they do with their time and money. There are definitely some concerns about the Clinton foundation, but they do good things in the world. You know Hillary does care about children and health issues because she has put in some serious time during her life fighting for those things; even though she is far from my favorite politician, the fact that she put in with the CDF finding out why children were missing school, seeing there was a problem with schools not accommodating children with disabilities and helped get the law passed that ensured all children with disabilities would be able to go to school is something that I respect greatly. I still voted for Bernie, and would still prefer him or Elizabeth Warren of the progressives and would have preferred Biden (or Evan Bayh if he'd gotten back into politics soon enough). But for her flaws, you know she stands for things and puts her time and money fighting for people that aren't herself and her family.
Trump, yeah, the two things with him are that I don't think he's ever done anything that wasn't at least half motivated by how it would help himself, and of course the strange condition he has of lying constantly and being unable to admit it even when confronted with irrefutable proof. Who does Trump care about? Certainly not the veterans; look at how long he kept telling the media he 'raised' for them had been sent after the debate he skipped, only to finally be shamed into it the day before a press conference he wasn't going to be able to duck. Look at the $0.00 in donations he's made to his own foundation since 2008, even as it's made expenditures to support the things he really cares about: buying a portrait of Trump for Trump, setting a lawsuit against a Trump business for Trump, buying a Tim Tebow helmet for Trump.
The really sad thing is that so many people are caught up in Trump's acumen. Here's a guy who took $14 million in loans (though most of it an illegal purchase of casino chips), had multiple bankruptcies, got bailed out by a massive inheritance, and the only reason he is wealthy is because he did have the sense to spend a lot of that money buying properties that were already built and that are profitable for him. Most, if not all, of the businesses he's put his name on are abject disasters or fraud (in the case of Trump U). I get that there is a strong "I hate liberals, I hate Hillary" crowd out there who would vote for a turd sandwich if it had that R by it's name on the ballot, but this guy here is a bigot, a failure, a fraud, and generally a moron, but since his dad was rich he's a genius? Fuhgeddaboutit.
Absolutely false headline by a piece of s*** news site. She said NOTHING of the like. She didn't say anything even alluding to what the piece of s*** news site claims she alluding to along with a hack YouTuber trying to get clicks for cash. You'd have to be pretty intellectually dishonest to entertain this story as truthful in regards to what it's alluding to.
