Poll question: How Much Money Did Tony Rezko Contribute To Bill And/0r Hillary Clinton?

on edit- I don't think any politician is a saint... I just posted the poll to correct the record

1. What kind of question is that? And how is anyone supposed to supply

a reasonable, accurate answer?

Maybe you need to be calling on the Amazing Kreskin. He's probably about as reliable as anyone you'll find here.

3. See Post Two

It's easily verifiable...

[MADem]

7. I posted all of Rezko's contributions here earlier.

The Clintons were not listed.

He had a wide list of favorites, though. Everyone from Obama, to Boxer, to LAZIO, to Kerry, to Bush...but no Clintons. All the way back to 91.

You can look it up. It's available online.

33. I went to the FEC site and it said it went back to 97. Pic looks like taken in '95

Based on Hillary's hair style.

34. Go to NEWSMEAT, they've got records going back to ninety one. NT

[dkf]

35. Maybe he made contribution under $200. They don't have those.

[MADem]

2. Not one thin dime, according to the Federal Election filings. NT

4. How much did Hu give her?

Just curious.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Hillary Isn't Running On Her Sainthood

Next

20. What a lame ass answer to the question

Hypocrisy is a pain in the ass isn't it?

"Next."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. Being A Saint Comes With Responsibilities

That's why we mere mortal folks eschew that status...

Next, indeed...

[MADem]

11. It's HSU. That's online too--both what she got, AND what Obama got from old Norman.

Hsu Steered Major Fundraiser to Obama
Campaign Acknowledges Link to Democratic Donor Who Is Now Under Arrest

By Matthew Mosk and John Solomon

Before becoming a major bundler for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign, disgraced Democratic donor Norman Hsu helped host a 2005 California event for Barack Obama's political action committee and introduced the senator from Illinois to one of the biggest fundraisers for his presidential bid.

Federal Election Commission records show that Hsu gave $5,000 to Obama's Hopefund PAC in connection with the fundraiser and that people publicly identified with Hsu and his companies gave an additional $19,500 to the PAC in 2005 and 2006.

Mark Gorenberg, who now sits on Obama's national finance committee and is one of his biggest fundraisers, said Hsu organized an early 2005 event for the Hopefund and invited him to help raise money.


"He introduced me to Barack Obama," Gorenberg said of Hsu. "He was working on an event for Barack's PAC, and he asked me to help, and I did. Barack came up to San Francisco, and introduced him to a bunch of people."


Gorenberg, FWIW, was also Mister Moneybags for Kerry.

"Takes time for ShortbusSinceBirth to whipe the drool of his shirt."


Just saying...

[NWHarkness]

23. Are there any right wing talking points the Obama supporters won't use? n/t

[aquart]

26. Why, dear? She gave it all back.

[Kittycat]

5. Rezco, or Rezco & his employees from his various companies?

Maybe we should ask for an employee print out, and verify it against HRCs campaign logs over the years. There must be some $$ amount, given that he had his picture taken with them. Has there been any information on whether that picture was tied to a fundraising event?

[maddiejoan]

8. It was a fundraiser for Carol Moseley Braun

[aquart]

21. Go for it!

Spend your hours in pointless desperation.

[Kucinich4America]

9. I have no idea

But obviously, it's one more instance of Clintonian hypocrisy for her to bring this guy up in an attack on Obama during a debate, knowing full well Rezko was an old friend of hers as well.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. Friend?

And your proof is?

That she took a photograph with him?

[MADem]

13. No he wasn't.

But way to bullshit, there!!!

She had a pic taken with a guy at a fundraiser where thousands of pics were taken. She doesn't KNOW the guy.

Truth isn't very important to you, is that it? Or were you genuinely under a 'misapprehension?'

[Kucinich4America]

17. If truth was unimportant to me

I'd be a Hillbot. :)

[MADem]

32. Well, that was a pretty broad brushed comment. Childish, too.

In any event, if you don't realize that you just told a huge whopper, I will assume that you are laboring under a woeful misapprehension.

[mondo joe]

19. Old friend?

Dennis K would be ashamed of your fabrications.

[oasis]

25. "..an attack on Obama during a debate". It was more of a "counter-attack" and

prelude to "checkmate".

[keep_it_real]

12. What does Hillary have in her closet?

That has not come out yet?

[george_maniakes]

15. If shes running on the number of skeletons in their repective closets...

i thnk she'll lose. If she's throwing mud hoping more new people will be turned off, she's got a good chance. But then does it really matter?

[aquart]

22. Well, well, well. Welcome to DU.

And what shit stirring brings you by?

[george_maniakes]

29. im a canadian who loves the spirit of the american constitution...

and thinks bush is an ass. And you are about as polite as a neo-con.

[aquart]

24. Been investigated down to her underwear drawer.

Do you really think Ken Starr missed her closet?

I love the pungent reek of desperation.

[goldcanyonaz]

30. Been there, done that. Hillary was vetted long ago. She's rubber and they're glue.

:bounce:

[ProSense]

14. $130,000

$130,000 from an lawyer linked to Rezko

27. But dude, the photo! A picture is worth a million bucks (or was it words?)
