some disturbing issues..

Number one and most disturbing: Just how easily that little girl was manipulated into admitting a lie when she probably wasn't lying to begin with.

Number two: Telling little girls that a boy who is mean to her probably has a crush on her.

Even though it isn't about lying. It's about contempt. This is probably why I dislike Hillary so much. When she is debating Bernie (or Obama in the past), she shows nothing but contempt in her voice, language and body language.

She may not curl her lip up like Cheney, but she reeks contempt. And that, as Meyer says above is from feeling morally superior, (or mentally superior). She really believes she is superior. This is something that a lot of very smart, or "quick-witted" people feel about themselves, when comparing themselves to less "quick-witted" people, but what they don't understand is that wisdom and emotional maturity, is a form of intelligence that many "smart" people just don't grasp.

I'd much rather have a wise and emotionally mature President that a whip smart President that makes unwise choices or reacts out of anger and malice.
