I have begun to notice during TV interviews and in Letters to the Editor that Republican spokespeople and their lackies are suggesting there is a set of Hillary Clinton lies out there or that she is not honest. But in none of the interviews or letters, have I discerned, any details or references to support their words – just those vague innuendos that “must be true” – “’cause I say so.”

Can anyone say smear campaign? The constant repetitions that Hillary has not answered for her lies or that Secretary Clinton is not honest is never supported with actual events or facts. Since Republicans know they cannot win on policy, talent, intelligence or experience when it comes to Hillary Clinton – they believe that their only options are to cheat and lie.

But could I be wrong… are there some lies or some area of dishonesty or cover up? Don’t think so, but let’s check.

Benghazi – there have been numerous Republican-led committees and reports looking at Sec. Clinton and her actions during the day and night of the Benghazi events. Millions have been spent to find out that basically everybody did their best, from the President and Secretary of State, the military and on the ground. Each new committee and report came to that same conclusion. Of course, in the last hearing, Sec. Clinton spent 11 hours showing how much smarter, tougher and better at her job she was than the men grilling her.

The sad fact is that the Ambassador made a mistake. He choose to stay in a less secure building, when a more secure location was available 30 miles away. The Ambassador and 3 fellow American paid for that decision, when the bad guys, through planning and luck, killed them. The best we can do to honor the fallen here, is to learn from the events – thus to better understand our enemies and to craft better solutions and policies for our foreign problems.

Changing Positions on Issues – Some cynics say that whenever a political leader changes their policy that we have been lied to. That maybe true some of the time, but one has to look at why a policy position was changed. It is also important to review an elected official’s or candidate’s actions, decisions and policies in general. To be fair in this situation, you have to read, listen and watch an actual person’s day to day public life and not come to a conclusion just because “Rush” or “Rachael” says it is so.

When it comes to voting for the Iraq War Authority which gave President Bush the Second the authority to act, she admits that it was a mistake. That seems honest to me. And let’s face it, giving permission to a President to do something, doesn’t mean that president has to make stupid decision afterwards… I have often wondered if President Bush the Second, is a prime example of “the dumbing down of America,” I often hear about.

Generally, having read, watched and listened, I have found that I agree with the majority of her decisions and policies – especially when it comes to women’s rights, the education of children, healthcare and the environment. And where she has changed her mind, it appears to be because of new information or hearing her constituent’s demands and, sometimes, because of political expediency. And that is the way democracies work – the alternative is to give make the Koch Brothers our overlords and dictators and never have a voice in our society again. I suggest, we do not let the Koch Bros. and their ilk buy up our government. We can start by freeing up the Republican Party from their evil clutches by overturning Citizens United. But I digress…

The Impeachment of Bill Clinton – I was around during the years when President Bill Clinton was impeached for his private sexual conduct. Some Hilary critics are suggesting today, that Mrs. Clinton may have covered up or lied for her husband. I did not see that.

Here is what I saw. I witnessed a wife who was honestly disappointed by her husband’s actions, but ultimately stood by her husband. I saw a woman who got through those relationship mistakes and re-created her relationship with her mate. She is not a woman who dwells on the past and plays the guilt game. I saw a First Lady that stood by the President and the United States. And I saw an American citizen brave great pressures and come out of them stronger and more determined to do what is right for all of us.

The bottom line here is this: A lot of mud has been thrown in the form of lies, innuendos and rumors at Hillary Clinton. Yet, she still stands tall and clean – because none of it is true.
