From everything I've ever read about her, she and Bill have always seemed to be carny grifters except not as honest.

At least with carny grifters you know from the get go that there is a grift.

... it seems more like something we wanted to believe of her, rather than what decades of evidence suggests. Like all politicians, the Clintons crafted polished personas and we all said, "Ooo! shiny!" and bought into it without even kicking the tires, let alone looking under the hood. The not-so-shiny truth has emerged slowly, dots have been connected, and realizations have dawned. Some remain stubbornly blind to the facts, lashing out at anyone who tries to guide them back to the light of reason.

I think the former Goldwater girl is nothing more than a ruthless opportunist who will say or do anything to achieve her goal: The presidency. "Public service" is just a cynical mask covering a burning desire for dominion over the lives of others.

You can't be in the pocket of an irredeemably evil company like Goldman Sachs and still claim that you're "for the people."

I was born at night, but not last night.

Sigh... But she's still better than any Republican Satan ever defecated. I hope.

But, but, but she won't be influenced by the corporate money, don't worry she'll fight for us. And she'll get rid of these kind of corrupt campaign contributions. Sarcasm

“The abuse of buying and selling votes crept in and money began to play an important part in determining elections. Later on, this process of corruption spread in the law courts and to the army, and finally, when even the sword became enslaved by the power of gold, the republic was subjected to the rule of emperors.” —Plutarch

We have a choice.

A vote for Bernie is a vote against that corruption.

It is truly a vote for democracy.

Spin it the first time and it lands on how she feels about health care, trades and tariffs, energy, fair taxation, prison industry profits, minimum wage, higher public education.... etc., etc., etc....

And all the ballots are counted.

And when they are, perhaps HRC's red carpet to the White House will have been rolled up.

We can only hope that that is the case. And there are those of us who are working to make sure that the carpet is rolled out for President Sanders.

she should be driving the republicrat clown car. wasted 2 votes on her husband that threw glass steagall under the bus then wasted 2 votes on Obama who first baled on single payer and then leaves us with tpp. We can have a quiet civilized revolution hopefully with Bernie or have a very messy one with the Donald.

to know how many of those who'll vote for her are genuinely aware of the facts shown in this graphic. Of course, if you simply insist in exercising denial, it wouldn't matter if you'd seen this anyways.
