When the stocks for the companies that make cluster bombs go up, some people get to make a lot of money, and then they take some of that money and give it to Hillary Clinton through any of the various vehicles set up to facilitate these transactions, which will help make her the first woman President so that she can finally pass TPP and save all the children in Syria from being sold as slaves by ISIS.

Maybe the polls will tell her to "evolve".....again. Tierra_y_Libertad May 2015 #2
Thats why Hillary's hired hundreds of advisors & pollsters, to tell her what positions will give her the best chance to win these nomination. It's just smart politics. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2015 #8
It also means you can't believe a word out of her mouth... Oktober May 2015 #48

Lame deflection. The underlying facts are uncontested. nt Romulox May 2015 #31
It's not a deflection I'm a Bernie supporter but Common Dreams doesn't even tell you which bill. Agschmid May 2015 #32
LOL at all the "I'm a Bernie supporter, but..." posters. Thanks for your concern. nt Romulox May 2015 #34
