Why is it ok that Hillary Clinton is a 1%er but liberals had problems with Mitt being one? (vote, campaign)

I feel like it's a bit hypocritical

We both know the answer to that. Hillary says she wants money out of politics but she is trying to raise 2.5 billion.

It worked to demonize wealthy people because they knew people are jealous but now since Hillary (a liberal) is wealthy it's ok. Then again, Hillary can't make up her mind if she's broke or not. Her daughter got a job right out of college working for liberal news earning $600k a year, she wears designer items but that's ok because she's a liberal.

Because liberals are hypocrites.

The difference is Hillary rides in private jets that recycle the napkins after the flight.

She also took payoffs from foreign governments through her foundation while she was Secretary of State, and in fact said she will continue to take foreign contributions through her foundation throughout her campaign.

She has a vagina so it is ok.

[Hans Bueller]

She was DEAD broke!

[lifeexplorer]

Because she promises to give the poor more money.

Don't ya know, it is impossible for a liberal candidate to ever do or say anything wrong.


Actually, the hypocrisy is incredible. I was thinking the other day, what if someone from the Bush administration had been using a personal email account and hiding things? Oh my gosh, we would never hear the end of it. It would be front page news for weeks.

Mitt wouldn't release his tax returns and was putting money in off shore accounts all the while criticizing the bottom 47% as sponges.

Yes there is too much money on politics and the system needs to be reformed, there are lobbyists attending every government and dictating the way politicians should vote.

You need to raise money to win in this political culture, is there an alternative.
