The Trust Issue: Hillary's Achilles Heel

Edited on Tue Jan-22-08 11:00 PM by JackORoses
Do you fully trust Hillary Clinton? or Bill for that matter?

Polls show this to be one of her weakest points. Many people just don't see her as honest.
Even her supporters will freely admit that she is loose with the truth. They will say, "She's just a politician, they all do it."

This has yet to become a major issue in this campaign. But after Obama bringing up her factually incorrect attacks in the debate last night, the newsmedia has jumped on this.
Everywhere you see 'FactChecks' or 'Keepin em Honest' spots. ex: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/22/599798.aspx
They are discussing these claims on the air.

This is not good for the Clintons. Their strategy is old school Politics.
Manipulation of the truth and an opponent's record.

But this method was all developed in the Pre-Youtube days. Now nothing they say can be hidden.
It's all out there to be watched a million times and researched for factual integrity.

Let them keep spinning their wicked web.
They will be seen in a bright new light that wasn't shining in the late 90's.

If they continue moving in this direction, not far down the road lie tales of Impeachment and the definition of what 'is' is.

Honesty is the best policy.
But is it the Clinton policy?

Therein lies the Rub...
