I don't know where you're getting your information from, but you should probably double check it next time. Her parents owned a business. They might not have been "rich", but she definitely didn't grow up struggling or hungry... or "poor".

I noticed you edited your post removing the "poor" part, good call.


And now, Hillary hasn't driven her own car since the 90's! Who is really the disconnected one?

LOL, I noticed the removal of the "poor" part being edited out too. Yep, good call.

Hard work and ability had nothing to do with it?

Would it have been less hurtful to just allow the companies they tried to turn around to fail?


Admittedly I don't really know enough about all the companies he worked with to say he never did any thing most would consider wrong.

Because liberals are hypocrites.
So are conservatives/republicans,rino's or whatever you all call each other.

Mitt's net worth is significantly higher than Hillary's.

It's pretty much comparing the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Kansas City Royals.

Her father was a small business owner. OMG! What do you want her to be? A welfare baby? She went to public high schools and was a national merit finalist earning scholarships through her academic record. She was your average person though smarter and a harder worker than most in school. Good for her. Romney is nothing but a spoiled little rich kid born to privilege and excess.

You stated (before you edited your post) that she grew up poor. I simply was debunking that, because her family was not poor.

Why does the right resent the success of people who disagree with them but bend over to give them tax breaks?

Do the details really matter when America is due for its first female presidente?
I say it matters just as much as Obamas lack of meaningful accomplishment did because people felt america was due for a black one.

Very little. It's called starting on third base. Whatever one thinks of Obama and the Clintons, you have to grant that they came from relatively humble roots. To do otherwise, is just nutter mentality.
