Hillary Clinton said, "We need to fix this dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all even if it takes a constitutional amendment." She also said she plans to raise $2 billion this election through Super PACs.

This is where I really respect Sanders. Even though he is going against the Clinton machine and is now moving up in the polls, he still says he will refuse to get a Super PAC, my average donation is $42.

So, she says, hey there is all this unaccountable money which is making our political system dysfunctional, but I'm planning to raise $2 billion this election. Is she a liar or just a hypocrite?

She's both. She's part of the problem and has done absolutely nothing to fix it so far so why should anyone believe that she'll do anything now? She certainly isn't turning away any of that 'unaccountable money' now is she? After all of the millions she's had funneled/laundered through the Clinton foundation why would anyone think she would do anything to change how the cash flows?

Everyone is a hypocrite one way or another, and everyone has lied about something.

She is now, and has always been. Not sure what her attraction to the populace is.

She is both a liar and a hypocrite. Yet many still defend her actions.

Trying to justify anything Hillary does already, that didn't take long.

If she doesn't take the money from the rich guys, she will be a loser and in no position to do anything. Obama learned that in '08, as well. It will take a lot more than Clinton to change this system and I fear there is very little support for doing so from any quarter.

Hillary is one of those sad individuals who will lie even when the truth is a better answer.

Actually no I wasn't, from the looks of it, I probably won't even be voting for her in the primary.

Other than Bernie Sanders and Jimmy Carter, what politician or leader isn't (and this most definitely includes Republican god Ronald Reagan)?
