Richard Nixon was accused of being corrupt because some supporters back in the 1950s set up a fund he could use for political purposes. When it came out about this fund, it was touted as corruption. Nixon’s political career was on the line. He was chosen as Vice President by Ike who was a general and felt he needed a political running mate.
At the time, then Senator Richard Nixon gave his famous Checkers speech on September 23, 1952. Nixon exposed every account, what he made, and what he owed. He said his wife did not own a mink coat like the Democrats. He went directly to the people to dispel the false rumors. He said the only gift he ever took was a puppy for his children then named checkers. He said he would not return that dog and take it away from his children regardless of the allegation it was a political gift.
Nixon then stood up on National TV and said that the people should send in telegrams to vote should he stay on the ticket or resign. He promised to abide by that public vote. The nation overwhelmingly said stay. Adlai Stevenson ran also trying to paint that Nixon was dangerous. His 1952 campaign ads were all about he would create peace where as Ike was a soldier who wages war. Nixon, he said, was very dangerous because he was for law and order and would turn America into a police state.
Since Hillary worked hard to try to imprison Nixon on the Watergate Commission, what she has done with one scandal after another is pile one lie upon another. She would never do what Nixon did – go on TV and show everything she owns and owes, where it all came from, and then vow that she has the integrity not to run for more personal gain if the people feel she has not told the truth.
Its hard not to get discouraged but knowing the game helps; Sundance needs to keep posting this for the faint of heart maybe even a couple of times a month as the pressure builds.
Keep the faith and trust that Trump knows what he is doing; it may seem that he is off script and feeding them things to talk about but don’t worry he does know what he is doing.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is laying out a plan to protect pastors from the IRS.
On Thursday, he addressed hundreds of faith leaders at a Pastors and Pews conference in Orlando, Florida, saying the government has been trying to hinder the influence of Christians in the political system for years.
“Christians have been silenced like a child,” Trump told his audience Thursday afternoon. He says it is particularly a problem with the Obama administration.
His speech encompassed the current trials Christians have been facing in recent weeks and over the past few years in the country when it comes to freedom of speech — limitations he says have come mainly from the White House or connected to it.
His solution? Repeal the Johnson Amendment.
The 1954 legislation created by then Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson limits the free speech of pastors, essentially threatening to take away a church’s or non-profit’s tax-exempt status for endorsing or opposing a political candidate.
“They get absolutely hit with the 501(c)(3), which is the tax exempt status, which is a tremendous hit. It’s a shattering hit, and it really keeps them silent,” Trump told his audience Thursday afternoon.
“Free speech is being taken away from people who are saying good things, not bad things. And if I can do that, I will have done a great thing for religion as a whole, and it’s so important to me,” he said.
Trump knows it’s a major selling point to get Christians from the pews to the polls.
“The words I said today are so important. I was honored to get the ovation I got, but they understand. I think it will be a tremendous achievement if we can get it done, and I know we can get it done,” Trump told CBN News.
“If we can get elected, that’s why I say on November 8, everyone has to get out and vote because four years ago evangelicals didn’t get out and vote. Christians didn’t vote,” he said.
The business mogul is trying to change that by attending events like Thursday’s Pastors and Pews conference — and by showing a softer, more humble side.
“In your RNC acceptance speech, it was a really endearing moment, you thanked evangelicals for their support but you said, ‘I don’t necessarily always deserve it.’ Why did you say that?” CBN’s Jenna Browder asked.
“Well because I think I’m not perfect, and because I think I’m less perfect than some people,” he replied. “But I have certain abilities that are good, like, being able to do things, and I think I’ll be able to things that will be really great for the evangelicals and others and they understood that.”
But some are willing to look beyond that. In fact, many evangelical Christians believe that Trump has been chosen “for such a time as this.”
But Trump shied away from the notion that this is a divine calling.
“Well, you know I’ve heard that from others, and I’ve heard it from pastors. I’ve heard it from others. You know I really don’t even want to think about it because it’s too big of a burden,” he told CBN News.
“But I can say this, that if I can do what I say I can do — and I’m not only talking with the military and building it up and safety and security, ’cause our country is in bad shape in so many ways — I’m talking, we can open up the voices of great people and the pastors and the ministers, and the priests and the rabbis and the people of religion. I think that will be something I will be so proud of,” he said.
Divine calling or not, Trump says he’s a friend to Christians.
“They believe so much in religious liberty as I do,” Trump told the Pastors and Pews audience Thursday. “Without religious liberty, you don’t have liberty.”
And that’s exactly what evangelicals want to hear. But Trump still has his work cut out for him. Most of these pastors who attended the conference are on board, but admit he wasn’t their first choice.
“We don’t know what we’re going to get from Donald Trump, but we do know what we’ll get from Hillary Clinton,” one pastor said.
While the attending the Pastors and Pews event was a move in the right direction for Trump, only time will tell if it translates in the polls.
COMMENT
I read some liberal propagandist say that Trump promised to do away with a non-existent threat to Pastors. That liberal was probably not a church goer and probably did not check with a Pastor before writing.
*CBN neither supports nor opposes any candidate for public office.
Another scandal! These people have no shame when they take away from the poor to line their own pockets. Is this what we want as the leader of the free world – another corrupted official like Obama – with Hillary following in lockstep with Obama policies?
CLINTON FOUNDATION IN HAITI — Arlin Report | kommonsentsjane
She could not handle this one project – so how can she handle the whole country. We have to have a business man – because these politicians, lawyers, academics, and doctors do not know how to handle money because they have personal accountants and all they do is bring them the dough. And that is what is happening to our country, these people are taking the dough to their own accountants – outside the country.
Remember the 3.2 millions Hillary could not account for at the Statement Department. Look at the Pentagon – they lost $6.5…
