Hillary Clinton, Voice Of The Little Guy

WSJ;

Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.

Looks like some extremists are posting lately. I’m not a Hillary fan, but folks this is not a story. Ho hum “everybody’s doin it doin it”!
Methinks the Idaho Senator will put this on the back pages!

Daly City! The home town of Sly (and the Family)Stone. Believe it is largely Chinese today. Love that green.

Hey! What happened to the picture? it was there this morning. Gone now.

A brief refresher course on some recent Republican corruption…
Tom Delay:
Participated in a conspiracy to funnel corporate donations to state political candidates through the Republican National Committee. Forced ito step down as House Republican leader after he was indicted by a Texas grand jury on charges of conspiracy. He is the first House leader to be indicted while in office in more than a century. DeLay’s former chief of staff, Tony Rudy, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and promised to help with a federal investigation of bribery and lobbying fraud relating to Abramoff. Rudy admitted conspiring with Abramoff — both while Rudy worked for the Texas congressman and after he left the lawmaker’s staff to become a lobbyist himself. He is the second former DeLay staffer to plead guilty to federal charges in connection with the lobbying probe.
Bill Frist:
He made a fortune through the family business, Hospital Corporation of America. HCA has profited mightily, even beyond what is allowed by law. HCA was fined $840 million in criminal fines, civil penalties and damages for unlawful billing practices. These infractions came in the form of over-billing Medicare, Medicaid and the Defense Department’s health care system. Frist’s latest ethical problems arise from violating the spirit of the blind trust and insider trading, for which he is being investigated by the SEC.
John Boehner:
Elevated to the position of Republican house leader to replace disgraced former leader Tom Delay. Boehner himself is a prime example of congressional corruption. His political action committee collected nearly $300,000 from private student lending companies and for-profit academic institutions from 2003-2004. He has taken more than $157,000 in free trips, placing him in 7th place for such questionable activity. More than 20 of his staff members have taken jobs in the private sector as lobbyists or corporate public affairs specialists. He handed out checks to his colleagues from tobacco company political action committees on the floor of Congress in 1995.

JohnnyRingo – and your point is….. how about Jim McGreevey, Gary Hart, Barney Franks, Congressman Gerald Ford Jr, Rep. William Jefferson, impeached Bill Clinton, etc…….score keeping a thing with you.
The issue is today’s news. That’s your best shot? Any idiot can play your ame.

“Pass me a tin foil hat!”
Is that it Ted? Is this sad illusionary cliche that dimisses substantive argument with snide ad hominem innuendo all you have? No factual counter argument?
Frik you reactionaries are boring.

Don’t forget, she also speaks for brothels and prostitutes!

WL:
As a Canadian, what do I care if the supporters of yet another Republican or Democrat has played loose with the law? I’d be surprised if any President has ever won the election clean. From my POV though, history is pretty clear that Republicans and Democrats are equally good and equally bad for Canada. So how I would vote if I was American and who I want to win as a Canadian are different things.
I was just addressing the myth of The Vast Leftwing Media Conspiracy which raises its silly head even in this discussion, even when the assertions are obviously wrong.
Besides, we’ve got our own campaign finance problems right in the PMO’s office with Chretien and the Liberals and now Harper and the Conservatives.

So Penny and others here support Republican corruption but criticize Democrats on their improprieties. I for one can’t stand Hillary Clinton, and if these stories in the WSJ (which is part of the MSM, you boneheads) lead to criminal wrongdoings, she should pay the price.
The question is, why does Penny support Republican corruption? Letting your ideology lead you by the nose?

Oh, and Penny – if you think the issue is today’s news, why ya dredgin’ up yesterdays news, genius? Gary Hart, yeah, that’s like, really current. You, my dear, are brilliant in your inability to make a point. That takes a special talent.

Oh man…hey Penny et al, here’s something for your “current events” file. Another Republican sex scandal? How…unfortunate.
From the New York Times…
“…Just when Republicans thought things could not get any worse, Senator Larry E. Craig of Idaho confirmed that he had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct after an undercover police officer accused him of soliciting sex in June in a Minneapolis airport restroom. On Tuesday, Mr. Craig, 62, held a news conference to defend himself, calling the guilty plea “a mistake” and declaring, “I am not gay” — even as the Senate Republican leadership asked for an Ethics Committee review.
It was a bizarre spectacle, and only the latest in a string of accusations of sexual foibles and financial misdeeds that have landed Republicans in the political equivalent of purgatory, the realm of late-night comic television.
Forget Mark Foley of Florida, who quit the House last year after exchanging sexually explicit e-mail messages with under-age male pages, or Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist whose dealings with the old Republican Congress landed him in prison. They are old news, replaced by a fresh crop of scandal-plagued Republicans, men like Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, whose phone number turned up on the list of the so-called D.C. Madam, or Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska and Representative Rick Renzi of Arizona, both caught up in F.B.I. corruption investigations.
It is enough to make a self-respecting Republican want to tear his hair out in frustration, especially as the party is trying to defend an unpopular war, contain the power of the new Democratic majority on Capitol Hill and generate some enthusiasm among voters heading toward the presidential election in 2008.”
