That's totally different than someone paying for your campaign.

Where's your proof the Saudis are paying for Hillarys campaign, I could make the same claim they are paying Trump. I mean they do pay him money to live there and he is self-funding, oh wait, no he's not, I forgot which month it was. I don't trust Trump anymore then Hillary and anyone who does is foolish.

I'm talking about the Liberal Hillary. Can you people not see the difference?

Trump is a businessman. How could he refuse to rent a large portion of Trump Tower to anyone even if he wanted to if their money is good?

Hillary is the liberal candidate who claims to be some kind of champion of women's rights. Would she take money from the American Nazi Party too? Would you be ok with that too?

The Saudi have also made big donations over the years to the Clinton Foundation. This is a charity created for the enrichment of the Clintons.

I've noticed lately when we provide proof - the thread just dies and they go elsewhere posting the very same rhetoric. It's really almost not worth coming to the boards anymore. There is no discussion - we are on the defense while they continue to not answer questions and deflect.

Are there other forums with actual participation and not so many trolls?

The only reason that women aren't as oppressed in other countries is because we've established secular governments. Our government does not have the authority or power to get rid of theocracies in other parts of the world. All we can do as a people is try to set an example, and to urge those countries to respect all their citizens equally.
You must be joking. Saudi Arabia is the #1 perpetrator/instigator of Islamic terrorism worldwide. They are literally the worst "ally" in history. We are supposed to accept that because of oil and the petrodollar? We don't need them, or anyone in the Middle East. We need to leave that region, cut all economic ties and never return.

Also the Bush's relationship with the Saudis became much more common knowledge after Bush was President than before.


In this case we know more about the hypocritical Hillary connection before the Election.
