Why Unbending the Truth Matters.....


" Genius is the talent of seeing things straight.It is seeing things in a straight line without any bend or break or abberation of sight, seeing them as they are, without any warping of vision." Maude Adams

"Don't compromise yourself , you are all you've got." Janis Joplin

Some folks have thought I was too hard on Hillary this week....about the Lies....About how she has been Bending the Truth about Her Experience. I am not trying to be hard on her, and to be honest if ANY of the Candidates Bend the Truth, or misrepresent themselves or their History I will write about it. I have spent the past few years writing about Bush and his administration and his Dishonesty and how The Lies have hurt us as a Country. I view it as documenting History, I view it as a duty.We need to hold Our Leaders Accountable....especially if their Lies are Our Destiny.

The three posts below are About Hillary and Lies.....On Issues that effect us.

I too am very troubled by this. Did you read Carl Bernstein's piece this morning on the AC 360 Blog? I posted it. He sees the pattern. Very interesting.

I have always beleived that you were in a unique place to be critical of Hillary.

You are a woman, and therefore cannot be accused of bullying.

You are strong, and therefore cannot be damaged by any attacks from the Hillary supporters.

And you are a working mother so you can appreciate the sacrifices and trade offs of having a career while raising a child.

Hillary and Bill have both talked about being tough and how Obama needs to be able to take the rough and tumble bruising that comes with politics, yet they cry foul every time somebody criticizes them.

They are hypocrites, and now we also know that Hillary is a liar. As far as I am concerned this is not only fair game, it is something that MUST be pointed out to the Democratic voter.

And you are doing very important work by performing that service.

I am giving you a standing ovation right now. (Well after I stopped typing anyhow.)

ahhhhh geee , see now I am blushing....

See it is so strange- that as a woman I do feel like I have to point his out...because she is not being truthful..She wants to lead us...Can we Follow Someone that is not truthful with us ???

NO is the answer...sadly this is a lesson that Bush has MORE than taught us...it is a painful wicked lesson....Because "little" Lies lead to BIG pain and MUCH bigger LIES, Bush lied about his "Business" experience, his "Military" career.....His Experience and Expertise as Governor....

and more.....
But during the Campaign, many of those lies were set aside- even his own party did not question....

On another note, as an Environmental Health Advocate and Whistleblower....I did face Danger...more than I wish...and I was very protective of my son...VERY...and I would never joke about it..or put him in danger...or even be dismissive of those experiences as a woman...or embellish those experiences...I have been truthful as a woman about them...because they have left me changed....maybe even wiser...and definently more compassionate ( or empathetic) than I was....I guess I would say those Experiences taught me...shaped me...and made me more serious and weigh ALL decisions more carefully...and treasure the people around me....BUT I would never ever think they were to be exploited or misused or selfishly held like false metals honoring myself....

I hope that makes sense....I am not trying to be hard on her...But I am very very dissappointed in her.....as a woman and as a mother...and as a Candidate....

thank you again....as a Blogger...an Partiot..I will always try to Blog what I think is the Truth and WHAT needs to be said...what matters...as we have THIS Country, OUR Country to save.....

Namaste....
