    LOL So, either you didn't understand what I said, which would negate your first sentence, or you are not being truthful in your second sentence. Which is it?

    Why do you put conscience in parenthesis? Is it because you don't believe in having one? Or that you believe people should toe the line and vote by ideology like good little Red Pioneers? You are free to believe the erroneous idea that not voting for Hillary was wasting one's vote but the fact remains that neither Trump nor Hillary garnered more than 48.2% of the vote because not everyone was willing to vote for corrupt scumbags based on the letter attached to their name on the ballot. I'm truly sorry there are so many voters who keep voting for corrupt officials in our government. They truly do not have a conscience.

    Did you believe Hillary when she said she misremembered her account of running across the tarmac dodging sniper fire?

    Hillary Clinton was a well known liar and corrupt politician. Interesting that you'd compare Trump to her.

    Trump is a human error, can agree with that, but we can't move on for 2 more years

    did you believe Trump when he said he had bone spurs? or the biggest whatever? or that his family immigrated from Sweden rather then Germany?

    yes, Clinton had to guts to speak, Trump will never speak - Trump knows he can't tell the truth that long imo, even if his lawyers gave him the answers ahead of time, Trump would add in his own lies

    how woudl Trump answer the question if he ever had an affair on Melania, would he be truthful

    You did when you justified Trump's actions by using Hillary as an example.

    No, I didn't believe him. He's well known to be a liar, a *********** and for putting himself before the needs of our nation. How does that absolve Hillary from her lies and corruption?

    All politicians (and virtually all people) fib a little from time to time.

    But you are correct. There is no comparison between Clinton and donald. donald is a pathological liar who lies far more frequently and on far more matters that any politician I can ever remember, including Clinton.

    There is no comparison. When it comes to lying, donald is a universe by himself.

    It was for a "lie of the year", not "liar" of the year as you wrongly asserted.

    But most intelligent people knew that.

    Only people with small minds would like to see pain and suffering inflicted on someone else my being truthful to clear their conscious and make themselves feel good. I have never seen any good come from admitting about an affair. I have seen a lot of broken marriages and kids lives put in shambles because someone wanted to "clean their soul and clear the air". People who watch programs like the Jerry Springer Show get their rocks off watching other peoples pain.

    Fibbing is telling one's spouse how great they look or that one did "well" in college. It's an outright lie to claim they were under sniper fire or that she was "dead broke".

    I agree on Trump, but you and I both know you are highly biased toward Hillary and willing to forgive her for the same things you condemn Trump.

    Agreed; Hillary is a very polished liar after being in law and politics for 40ish years whereas Trump is like a New York street punk lying about how tough he is.

    It’s good to see you admit that Obama was awarded the Lie of the Year. Now if you’d recognize that Hillary was a purveyor of lies, we’d be on common ground.

    And unlike Clinton, donald lies far more, fare more often, constantly and all the time. Even Republicans aptly called him a pathological liar.

    Trying to suggest that Clinton is a liar like donald is a false equivalency to make donald's pathological lying more acceptable.

    Not good to see you couldn't admit that you were wrong.

    But intelligent people knew that.

    Here’s the problem; you have a problem with Trump’s lies but not Hillary’s. I have a problem with both lying. While you don’t see the difference, I’m sure many Americans do....which may explain why so many Democrats stayed home on Election Day.

    That I got “Lie of the Year” confused with “Liar of the Year”? Yes, you are correct. Obama’s comment was named “Lie of the Year”. I was wrong.

    Intelligent people can recognize the difference between you and I.
