The fraud named Hillary Rodham Clinton

By DOUG THOMPSON

Hillary Clinton is a fraud, a liar, a cheat and a disgrace to the Senate, her party and the United States of America.

There's no other way to put it. The woman who would be President inflated her resume, lied outright about being "under fire" in an attempt to bolster her national security credentials, plotted to overturn the will of pledged delegates at the Democratic National Convention in August and lobbied to change the rules after she signed a pledge to honor her party's decision on voting in Michigan and Florida.

She does not deserve to be President of the United States. She does not deserve to be a United States Senator. She deserves a unmarked grave in the dustbin of political history.

If any other candidate had pulled the disgraceful stunts that Clinton and her campaign have engineered in her faltering, debt-ridden run for President, they would be driven from their party of disgrace. But this is Hillary, wife of Bill -- the President of a thousand affairs and countless other political skeletons. Some claim she and her philandering, shoot-from-the-lip husband are Democratic royalty. If she is the best the Democrats have to offer the party of the jackass deserves to get its butt kicked in November.

On Tuesday, Howard Wolfson, one of Clinton's chief gutter politics political operatives, revealed the campaign plans to do everything it can to destroy frontrunner Barack Obama in the eyes of superdelegates to the Democratic National Covention. They plan to use the words of Jeremiah Wright, Obama's fiery former minister, to discredit the Illinois Senator and try and convince the superdelegates to overturn the will of those who voted in the party's primaries.

Hillary admits she will push for a credentials fight to try and seat the delegations from Florida and Michigan even though she signed a pledge along with other candidates to follow the decision of the Democratic National Committee to not recognize voting results from either state because they pushed their primary dates up against the will of the party.

Pledges mean nothing to Hillary Clinton. Neither does honesty. Her bald-faced lie about being "under fire" in Bosnia shows that she has little regard for the truth or honesty and her ludicrous attempt to explain she "misspoke" not once but three times or that she was "sleep-deprived" show just how pathetic her claims to greatness have become.

Also ironic is her campaign's coining of the "Tanya Harding Strategy" to describe their plans to "kneecap" Barack Obama and destroy his credibility before the convention. Harding, a third-tier Olympic skating hopeful, hatched a plan to injure rival Nancy Kerrigan by busting her knee with a baseball bat so she couldn't compete on the ice.

Harding was, and probably still is, a cold, calculating, scheming blond bitch. Is that really the comparison the Clinton campaign wants?

For the past seven years I have taken George W. Bush to task for being a liar, a cheat and a fraud. If Barack Obama had pulled the same stunts I would be calling him the same. I have reservations about Obama's qualifications and his ties to shady political dealmakers and the angry words of Rev. Wright. He has also played fast and loose with his resume.

But Clinton's crimes go far beyond the normal hyperbole of politics. Her methods demand denunciation and her schemes cry out for exposure and ridicule.

She is a liar and a fraud and we've already had too many of them in the White House.
