Hillary caught lying AGAIN
Last year, Senator Hillary Clinton of New York told the Association of Health Care Journalists that she supported expansion of Medicare services into rural areas:

“I will work to make Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements fair so that all communities in our country - including ones in rural areas that traditionally have lower reimbursement rates and, as a result, have difficulty recruiting doctors - have qualified doctors.”

But The Field has learned that, in 2003, when Clinton had the chance to vote to increase Medicare payments to health care providers in rural areas to the same level that urban providers receive, Clinton voted no.

(Rival candidates John Edwards, then a Senator, and John McCain, voted yes.)

Medicare’s discrimination against rural providers increases the scarcity of doctors and specialists in rural hospitals and clinics.

8. Poor Hillary doesn't know about the power of them thar internets
And how internet(s) users can find out how she attends VFW rallies in the morning and promises war, and attends Peace And Social Justice rallies in the afternoons and promises peace.

Maybe Gore could clue her in?

7. I'd like to hear
if there was some reason?

Like too much pork?

It seems to me looking at the roster off no voters, that Hillary was on the correct side of this one.

4. Since when is casting a vote lying?
The 'lie' refered to in this article involves a vote HRC cast. Schumer also voted against this amendment, which passed easily anyway.

Since both NY Senators -- famous liberals -- voted against this amendment, perhaps there is more to this story than a quick leap to judgement (or a quick leap to slander and invective.)

Decent people wait to hear all the facts before calling someone a liar. IMHO, Hillary-haters are not completely decent people. (No one harboring irrational hatred can be).

It is one thing to support a candidate. It is very much another to slander and insult one's opponent in hopes of inciting impressionable people to vote against him/her.

Good is nmot achieved by malignant means.
