Poll question: Will the Hsu, Wyatt and other fundraising scandals associated with Hillary
have a negative impact on her campaign?

Disclaimer: I do not hate Hillary. I don't support her in the primaries, but if she's nom, nothing could keep me from voting for her.

3. Minimal Is Rights
After all, if all the Republican manufactured scandals from the 90's couldn't drag down Bill Clinton, why should this little fund raising debacle have a big impact on Hillary's campaign.


OTOH - you never know what's going to be the last straw.

FOX, and others, only connect Clinton with Hsu - but is that being truthful?

4. It's not just Hsu
Hillary is keeping money from Wyatt, and the Clintons do have a history of fundraisning scandals.

11. Most are keeping the money from the Wyatts....
I don't think it's fair to use the Wyatts as a gauge of ethics among politicians since most have gotten something along the way and most who have are keeping it including the two Texas lapdogs of the Bushes.

Kay Bailey Hutchison is keeping the money from the Mrs. Wyatt and John Cornyn is keeping the money from the Mr. Wyatt. Unless he is convicted of course. Then they will donate it to charity.

The problem with the Clintons seem to be their staff which doesn't bother to take a look at anything other than the money.

6. Yes, but...
Not until she captures the nomination. Then the corporate media will trot out every bit of shit to throw at her and keep throwing until she loses.

9. No, I really don't think it's something that most Americans care about
I discuss politics with people almost constantly, and this just hasn't even come up in conversation. :shrug:
