The author of "Clinton Cash" wrote a terrific book called "Extortion" and may I say some Republicans in the US Capitol Building didn't fare too well in that one. It wasn't just about Democrats.

The leaking bucket of water is all those "allegations" made by right-wing talking heads yet no facts or evidence to back up these allegations.

Bet you have no clue about any of the facts or any evidence because there is none.

We ought to be concerned with our Goldman Sachs Administration that we currently have.

Thanks to voters as yourself.

everybody takes advantage of something in there daily life. i've mentioned how i use a handicap tag to park in handicap, even though im not handicapped.

im tired of people whining and playing the holier than thou card. everybody is guilty of taking advantage of a situation to benefit themselves, and those who refuse to admit it are lying. its human nature.

my handicap parking is you downloading and streaming videos and music illegally. i dont care what you do, so why dont you lay off when it comes to other people.



You do realize that striving to do right and avoid wrong is the goal don't you?

Sounds like you just caved to weakness.
Yes, we all do from time to time but not with the obvious commitment you profess to have made to falling short.

I think they will....it's gaining legitimacy under the liberal cornerstones in the media.

I believe the NYTs for example has bought the rights to run some of it's stories, and they have already begun to editorialize a lot of it. A lot of liberal/Democratic voters are reading this stuff and shaking their heads--just look at the responses for example in the NYT's article on the Uranium 1 deal or on the questionable "donations" from foreign governments. The New York Times has been eating her alive.

It has slowly but surely been making it's way into the mainstream news, and once it has been removed from the lexicon of Right-Wing talk radio and Breibart.com as a talking point, I think average voters will take it into consideration. Democratic voters may not be enticed to vote Republican--but I think enough of them will either vote for a 3rd party candidate (i.e. the Ralph Nader Effect) or...just as they did in the mid-terms...enough of them may simply elect to stay home.

A measly 15 percent of that, or $75 million, went towards programmatic grants. More than $25 million went to fund travel expenses. Nearly $110 million went toward employee salaries and benefits. And a whopping $290 million during that period — nearly 60 percent of all money raised — was classified merely as “other expenses.”
I need to get me some of that.

Our politicians(on both sides) are basically bought and paid for by large corporations and donors to enact their agendas.


The American people are pretty much irrelavant that's why most people stay home during election time.

Which is exactly the plan of the Koch Brothers who paid Peter Schweizer to teeter on slander. The book is chalk full of innuendos and non-factual accusations. I bet the Koch Brothers paid Schweizer well and Schweizer also gets to keep the book royalties.

Here are a few facts about this author:

Quote:
He's A Self-Styled Conservative Corruption-Buster
He Had To Retract An Allegation Against A U.S. Senator
He Once Warned That Disney Is Turning America Gay
He Also Co-Wrote A Book About Iranian Terror And Nukes
His Institute Is Funded By The Kochs And Company

I betcha a lot that you will care when Jeb Cash comes out, right?

'Clinton Cash' author next target: Jeb Bush

Right now "Clinton Cash" author Peter Schweizer is nothing but a right wing nut job spreading unsubstantiated rumor on Faux News but when "Jeb Cash" comes out it will be heralded as truth given down from high, right?

Bill Clinton Ends Role With Chain of For-Profit Colleges

Quote:
The university system — part of Laureate Education Inc., which according to Bloomberg is the world’s largest for-profit college chain — has been a seven-figure donor to the Clinton Foundation, giving between $1 million and $5 million, according to the foundation’s website. Laureate has also made five commitments through the Clinton Global Initiative.
Opps, wrong story but isn't it great how the Clinton's bring college to everyone? Let them student loans roll!

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html

How come we can only find this story on far, far right wing nutjob sites like the New York Times?

I just hover over your link and see that it takes one click to got to MediaMatters. Why bother? We know who they will always lie for.
