'.......the Clintons as "grifters"..........'
Sep 3^rd, 2016 at 11:23pm

Quote:

Appearing on 'Fox & Friends' Friday morning, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich characterized the Clintons as "grifters" who "steal from everybody."

"The only way to describe them is—they’re grifters. These are people that show up in movies and lie to everybody, steal from everybody—if you think of them as grifters you sort of get it," Gingrich said. "Here is a pile of money -- Why not take it? Oh, it happens to be illegal. Well, nobody will notice, and fi they do notice, that's why we have lawyers. We'll simply lie about it."

"In a normal, healthy society, they would be ostracized for being such totally unpatriotic scammers, who go around abusing public trust, using public money, and then lying about it pathetically. And instead we all just get numb to it -- it is an astonishing thing to live through."

About President Obama, Gingrich said: "Obama has lied for his entire presidency about everything from Obamacare to the Iranian deal. Why would he notice Bill and Hillary lying? You cannot be a modern liberal and tell the truth, as you saw a few minutes ago in the vice presidential nominee [Tim Kaine] who can't even tell the truth about Hillary's failure to hold press conferences."

"They have a belief that if you look in the camera and lie consistently, that the lies will eventually seem true."

Donald Trump has "thoughtfully decided to gamble on people being sick of corruption, sick of dishonesty, and sick of 'poopy-talk' if you will," Gingrich said. "I think that he is trying to give you something much more genuine, much more authentic."

There's an old saying "tell someone a lie and they won't like you - tell them the truth and they will hate you".
Trump tells the truth.

Not sure if this is meant to make people laugh or cry?

Trump is many things but a pathological liar he is not.

He's the first presidential candidate in history to refuse to pass over his tax return. Unprecedented.

No you are wrong - Ross Perot was.

However given how hysterically anti-Trump the MSM is and even the Republican Party is - its smart of him not to release his tax info just now.
BTW know one has proven that he is a pathological liar - just clever.

Good point about Perot, Rich, but are we calling dishonesty cleverness now?

One of the biggest pathological lies Trump's said in this campaign is that he's a born-again Christian.

Now I know this is only a little white lie in the American presidential context - every presidential candidate has to lie about that. But Trump is the furthest of any candidate from being a born-again Christian. He's already demonstrated he has no knowledge of Christianity whatsoever. His favourite "Bible passage"?

Oh, the bit about an eye for an eye.

The Bible belt's support for Trump may well do them in as an electoral force. If they can put their support behind a candidate like Trump, it shows they have no scruples whatsoever.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Sure, but that's just Trump being dumb, not lying.
