Jan 2016

as is the financial community. I don't see that as unusual for the circumstances. Their employees donated, it wasn't big corporate paydays.

Guess we are just going to have to disagree about this! But I thank you for your post.

Stay safe in the storm. I'm sure the Hillary group will provide you with the answers you seek. Autumn Jan 2016 #1
Well they aren't the people who feel that way, so I doubt they can answer. Lucinda Jan 2016 #3

I haven't been back forever, which is why I asked for information. My health Lucinda Jan 2016 #9
You're welcome. But I must say that 113 posts in the last 90 days Autumn Jan 2016 #18

I appreciate your post MissDeeds Jan 2016 #23
Thank you. It's chronic, and pretty permanent, but every now and then Lucinda Jan 2016 #27
In your own words and this is key; floriduck Jan 2016 #83

I haven't looked at her reasons why - thank you for mentioning it. I will Lucinda Jan 2016 #93
Money. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #5
No one has been able to actually prove Hillary made those speeches to the banks Fumesucker Jan 2016 #8
Does Hillary saying she gave speeches to wall street banks count? RiverLover Jan 2016 #11
Does Hillary saying she dodged sniper fire in Bosnia count? Fumesucker Jan 2016 #14
Why do you think there is a conflict of interest in a speech? Lucinda Jan 2016 #17
Some might tend top think when you get 12 million dollars from a group that you wilsonbooks Jan 2016 #60

Thank you! Did you read her quotes about Glass-Stegall in the link above? Lucinda Jan 2016 #13
I would second the recommendation about the Warren video. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #26
Do you mean these quotes? Jarqui Jan 2016 #32
So she said no it didn't cause the crash, might have helped a little...and she also said: Lucinda Jan 2016 #54

For me.... Bjornsdotter Jan 2016 #16
Thats what I am not understanding though...what money do you think has created a conflict? Lucinda Jan 2016 #20
Yes, unlimited anonymous contributions to super PACs which she embraces. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #49
Are those funds accessible for personal use? Lucinda Jan 2016 #96
I do not think they can be used directly for personal use, no. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #97
They need to go. No doubt. I'd rather no one have them, but it isnt the climate we are in right now. Lucinda Jan 2016 #98
Well you know that the super PACs are trying to destroy Sanders. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #99
I've seen some really ugly stuff out there, and I don't really know what masters they are serving Lucinda Jan 2016 #101
Well, Brock is definitely vile. Here are some links, but Hillary Clinton is definitely his master JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #102
Thanks! I had started searching on my own a little, while my meds kick in, and the first Lucinda Jan 2016 #103
Brock's story is amazing. Did a little more reading about him Lucinda Jan 2016 #110
I don't consider Brock's story to be amazing, but it is certainly interesting. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #119
