Is Hillary Clinton dishonest? A lot of Americans think so
The flap over Hillary Clinton's false claim that she braved sniper fire during a 1996 trip to Bosnia has highlighted a problem that's plagued her for much of her public life: A lot of people think she's dishonest.

Ever since she stepped onto the national stage when her husband ran for president in 1992, she's found her honesty challenged along with his — sometimes thanks to her failure to tell the truth and sometimes thanks to the eagerness of her critics to portray innocent misstatements as lies.

3. There's no Question about it! It's just a matter of
documenting them and blasting it across the Nation so everyone can have the right of knowing the intricies of hilary's lies.

Why should our country have to go through another a "president" who lies 'cause they're cheating, again?
