HILLARY'S LATEST LIE – AT 8:46 A.M. ET:  I guess she just can't control herself.  In an age when college students are taught that a lie is simply an "alternative narrative," Hillary makes full use of our slipping moral standards.  From the Washington Examiner:

Hillary Clinton's closest advisors and top fundraisers include drug and insurance lobbyists. Clinton fought hard to force everyone to buy health insurance, and to force employers to cover all contraceptive costs through insurance. Her donor rolls include Big Pharma PACs, and drugmakers have paid her six-figure speaking fees.

Yet Clinton claims the insurers and the drugmakers are her enemies. It's no wonder so many voters don't trust her.

Anderson Cooper, the CNN moderator, asked candidates in the first Democratic debate, "Which enemy are you most proud of?"

After her rival Martin O'Malley said, "The National Rifle Association," to applause, Clinton answered, "Well, in addition to the NRA, the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the Iranians. Probably the Republicans."

No one is surprised that Clinton considers 40 percent of the country her "enemy" because they vote against her. But her claim of mutual enmity with the industries that have long supported her strains credulity for anyone who has followed her career.

When she ran for president in 2008, Clinton raised $696,420 from "health services/HMOs," according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That was the most any politician in history had ever raised from that industry. (Obama, as the nominee, would ultimately break Clinton's record later that same election). Her 2006 Senate re-election had brought in $183,770 from the HMO industry, which at that time was also a new record haul from that industry.

In 2008, Clinton raised $345,234 from the "pharmaceutical manufacturing" industry, according to CRP, far more than any Republican candidate raised in that election.

COMMENT:  I guess it's true – Hillary is the second coming of Richard Nixon, complete with an enemies list.  At least the people on Nixon's list had never actually helped him or written checks to him.

Joe Biden, in an obvious jab at Hillary, commented yesterday that you can't get anything solved if you start designating opponents as "enemies."  If he runs, he will obviously portray Clinton as a divisive, shrill individual.  He'll be right.
