Hillary's List of Lies and Deception on Meet The Press

1. Hillary said that Obama has called himself like RFK or MLK. It's people who have compared him to those leaders, not himself.

2. She said no one wants to inject gender into the race. Her campaign made it very clear it was about gender after her debate performance in Philadelphia. The "men are piling on"? Playing Woman As Victim was an obvious component of her campaign.

3. Hillary said Obama's Iraq speech in 2002 was off his web site. It was ON his web site. The text of the speech is also on his web site. She continued to distort Obama's statements on the Iraq War. Obama has set forth that he will not vote for more funding without timelines.

4. She said when someone does something wrong, they are gone from her campaign. What about Penn?

5. Hillary thinks that Obama's rhetoric is all he has. She has implied that Obama has never passed any legislation. He HAS passed legislation and has done much more than she has ever done.

6. She wants the voters to have accurate records of the issues of the candidates, yet continues to lie about Obama's actual legislation that he authored, co-sponsored or passed. Her accomplishments are thin as Senator. Her claim that the lobbyists getting lunch sitting up or down for campaign reform is only one component of many other reforms, so it's a cheap shot.

7. Hillary was combative and deceptive about her vote on the Iraq War Resolution. Her speech at that time proved that she was for attacking Saddam. She had to go ahead and attack Obama even though he clearly knew that the Iraq War was a "dumb war" and had said his speech at the same time she voted for Bush's invasion. Additionally, her vote against the Levin Amendment to use more diplomacy was defended by trying to deflect that she knows Levin and that she wants to stop discussing "what happened in 2002". Oddly, that is her primary attack on Obama as well as the lies made by her husband. She doesn't want to talk about 2002, yet continued to talk about Obama's speech.

Additionally, she says she would not have voted for the war had she had known that he would have attacked Iraq. What? There will millions in the streets protesting the impending war knowing that Bush was all about going into Iraq. Is she that stupid or a sucker?

Her "explanation" about not reading the NIE was answered by saying she looked at all the information. Excuse me? The NIE pointed to how the intelligence was bogus and would be the first document you would read to get an informed opinion on the intelligence. She looked at all the information except the intelligence information she should have looked at?

8. Her "experience" including her years as a First Lady is as she said, a false distinction. She again lies about Obama not saying how he will pay for the changes she wants as well as says she has shown how she will pay for her healthcare plan, even though she has never told anyone how the individual mandates for healthcare insurance will be enforced.

9. She mentioned Obama's use of the vote "present", which is used in senatorial legislation phases to stop bad legislation in state legislatures like Illinois, as an attack that Presidents can't vote "present". She knows this is deceptive and dishonest, yet continues to use that ruse.

More to come, but these are enough to prove she plays dirty and is not the right choice to be the nominee.
