Dear editor:
Yet again we have heard from Mr. Scott Ruff and yet again he is bombarding us with just how wonderful and giving Hillary Clinton has been throughout her soiled and tainted career.
In his opening paragraph, Mr. Ruff urges us not to argue about the blatant false comments he included in his previous letter concerning the vastly exaggerated number of folks the Clintons have helped. Nor did he address his pathetic comparisons to the volume of emails generated by Bush and Hillary. Just to refresh our memories, I shall include here what Mr. Ruff said about these emails. He told us if the deleted emails of Hillary were stacked one on one, they might reach the eaves of a normal house, while those of George Bush would be as tall as the Empire State Building. I may be paraphrasing a bit, but I think I covered the gist of what Ruff said. Mr. Ruff did not address my query of whether he was talking about the emails Hillary had deleted or if he was including the ones she lied about. Albeit sophomoric, this gross misstatement of facts is rampant and accepted among many Democrats.
False statements, unverifiable claims, made up numbers and blatant exaggerations are all part of the Democratic dogma. Case in point. Remember when then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed made the statement that Romney had not filed taxes in years. He made these remarks on the floor of the Senate. Later, when this was proven to be a lie, he was asked about the lie he had deliberately told, he simply smirked and said, "Well, he did not get elected did he?" Again I may be paraphrasing, but this is basically what he said and this speaks volumes as to the value placed on the truth by many of these people.
It is very apparent why Mr. Ruff chooses not to answer or argue his point. Try as they may, the Clinton surrogates simply cannot justify, nor deny, the foul history and shady dealings of this woman.
