All of them. We pay politicians and they should act in our benefit. If they have to hide what they are doing then it's not good and I shouldn't have to pay them.

No arguing those connected are corrupt and get a pass. I know this is about Hillary
but I just posted this on another thread...

He wasn't a Pres, but a brother, and he helped bring down the S & L's back in the '80's
Neil Bush paid a $50,000 fine, paid for him by Republican supporters and was banned from banking activities for his role in taking down Silverado, which cost taxpayers $1.3 billion - Wiki

They all stink.

What about the Travel Office scandal? This occurred in May 1993, just months after Bill Clinton was sworn in. They booted out longtime travel office director Billy Dale in favor of friends from Arkansas.

It wasn't good enough just to give Dale his walking papers, which they could have done at will. They brought in the FBI, which reluctantly investigated. IIRC the admin also threatened to bring in the IRS if the FBI declined to participate in the witchhunt.

A memo surfaced in which WH aided David Watkins told Chief of Staff Mack McClarty that there would be 'hell to pay' if Mrs. Clinton's wishes in the matter were not followed.

Billy Dale was eventually indicted for embezzlement, but acquitted of all charges by a jury.

Why do you think Republicans lost big in 2006 and 2008? The Republican conservative base had enough of their corruption and fiscal irresponsibility. Republicans at least make the attempt to clean up their own house. Whereas the more corrupt Democrat politicians are, the more likely they will be elected and reelected by their Democrat base. Democrats are all about obtaining power, at any cost.
I know this is true, however, I didn't see them trying to clean it up during the Bush administration, and I was sick to death of his and their politics....so I voted for Obama b/c I was sorely hungry for change...well, that was a joke, he is worse then Bush, and yet, he was re-elected, he has done this country more harm then any one, but with Hillary in office it could even be worse, except for the fact she is more seasoned, but, if your leaders are corrupt, so will your people be....and it's been going on for years.

Heard on the news this morning that Hillary's doctor made a statement about her fall, that she had brain damage, which could cause her some major medical problems if she continues in office?
I wonder if that is a ploy, b/c she knows, that a whole lot of people have begun to question her and all this stuff from their past will definately come out again, including Vince Foster and Whitewater.

What bothers me, is, people forget, and they have actually forgotten how Bill and Hillary got to wear they were going at all cost, including incriminating their close friends...not to mention, Vince Foster, I still am in the grey over that, as well as a whole lot of others who were connected to came to untimely deaths.

Pathetic, that these people are running our nation and character doesn't matter any longer. What do you expect from a criminal?

Clean up Washington, educate yourself (not you glitch) and demand change....big time law changes....to obey the law is to clean up America.

Thank you for posting this, it is high time people take head....what really bothers me, is those who have their heads in the sand, call us conspiracy believers....HAH! I guess.....

I wonder just how many people know this, this little bit of information you posted here....why? Because people believe everything the news media tells them, and are so horridly misinformed....
What has been going on, is an insult to the taxpayers....yet, we pay them a salary to deceive us?

Yet, b/c people walk into a voting booth, they say, "Well, I did my share" and those of you who don't vote have no room to complain...shhheeeesh? Yanno who said that, a corrupt politician. How can people be so confounded stupid?

Indeed, and if you google those who fell under the Clinton administration you'd be shocked, and yet, so many misinformed women out there would vote for her, why? BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN??????? I mean, SERIOUSLY?

They had a man of substance in there running for the republican party, but, no, "they" wanted Romney in there, which proves, he and all the others are puppets, cuz they sabatoged Cain! He was the very first Presidential Candidate that came out publically and said, "we've got to get the illegals out of this country, they are destroying the U.S." and all of a sudden people started listening, so they got rid of him but quick. Was he a perfect candidate? No, of course not, no one is....but you can't have it all, but people believe that you can and vote for candidates on one issue, instead of looking at the broader picture.

My son says, he'd rather have Romeny in there then Obama or Hillary...well, I don't agree, b/c Bush did nothing but play golf and rub elbows with the rich and famous, including his arab friends....so, it is high time America starts screaming at the top of their lungs, CLEAN UP WASHINGTON AND GET RID OF THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION WHICH ARE THE PEOPLE REALLY RUNNING THIS COUNTRY, AND IF I'M WRONG, PROVE IT. Prove it to me that Hillary, and any candidate they put in there, and they do, are wholesome people who definately want to clean up America. They allocate our money to every state, and other country in the world, but who actually oversees how that money is spent....all it is, is one back scratching another.

When will American's wake up? We older folks have seen it differently so therefore, it is most evident to us...however, and another thing, our kids go to college to get an education....not to play sports or be converted to democrats....so do your jobs and stop all this bull, we parents are paying hard earned dollars for them to get a job, where? We're not paying colleges to teach them how to be democrates or any other political affliliation...

I'm sensing not everyone here shares my admiration for our next president?

"I slammed Glenn Beck about this," WHY? He didn't do the interview, Vanity Fair did. He didn't bring her up out of the blue. Monica CHOSE to put herself in the public limelight, AGAIN.

Yet YOU choose to slam Glenn.
