The Clintons have collected over 150 million bucks in speaking fees from their corporate and Wall Street pals so who can blame them?

They really have nothing in common with most of us.

They are filthy rich without a worry in the world .... except how to increase their fabulous wealth and political power.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

So now we're finding bad photos to smear a candidate? And calling them crazy? I have no doubt that a similar unflattering photo of Sen Sanders would be hidden. I hope a jury can be consistent.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue May 24, 2016, 12:56 PM, and the Jury voted 6-1 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I doubt if the Sanders version would be hidden, but either way they both SHOULD be. Can we please keep this type of negativity aimed at the real opponent and true crazy fuck, Drumpf? Sanders is a much better progressive, but Clinton is no crazy fuck.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I will not vote to leave a post calling one of our candidates crazy. If you can't show basic respect for the party's nominees, you need to find a different forum.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Sanders supporter here, tired of seeing this level of discourse on DU.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: We had better find a way to come together soon.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

And were it not for the lies and malice against those who own resources, her face would be just another face; her laugh just another laugh.

I have the same disgust for Hillary that I have for Bush. No difference at all.

Poisoning people's water is just as horrific as dumping depleted Uranium on the Middle East. She paved the way for both. She is my enemy.

her opposition is new (or true, but that doesn't seem to matter). People who have actually taken the time to go back and read her old speeches, and look at her life history see a very different woman than her enemies would like us to believe.

Maybe in that picture she looks victorious because she is less than 80 delegates away from clinching the Democratic nomination for president.

seeing a great deal of her for a while, and he liked her then and likes her now.

The intense dislike some people have of her, instead of merely disapproval we all have for some actions of some politicians, is sheeple effect. It was years and tens of millions of dollars in development, but I don't think they should assume that means their minds were hard to corrupt.

But how convenient it is when one wants to dodge the issues to claim women and men who oppose her polices are sexists who only hate women who are Wall Street benefactors.
