Hillary's list of conflict of interest

[aaroh]

Hillary Clinton has many conflicts of interest in her policies and campaign, just wanted to know which ones bother you the most?

The one that bothers me the most is Hillary's failure to admit to her mistakes. She voted for the Iraq war but then says she actually voted for inspection of Iraq. She makes up a story about sniper fire but then says she "mispoke" due to lack of sleep. Any great leader needs an innate quality of admission to their own mistakes and take responsibility for their actions.

1. I don't call those conflicts of interest

I call them LIES.

2. Hillary's Lies, Stupidities, Illegalities, and Conflicts of Interest.

Hillary's having voted for the invasion of Iraq and then claiming, when it becomes inconvenient, that she was voting for only for inspections is not, per se, a conflict of interest. It is a lie.

Hillary's hiring the union-busting Mark Penn as a chief campaign strategist while he remained on the payroll of the foreign country of Colombia to lobby for its conveted free trade agreement while Hillary maintains she is opposed to that agreement, is a deep conflict of interest on the part of Mark Penn. That Penn had private meetings with top government officials from Colombia in the heat of the Clinton campaign was downright stupid on the part of Mark Penn.

The fact that other members of Mark Penn's public relations firm are actively working for John McCain's campaign while he works for Hillary's campaign is a conflict of interest for Mark Penn, unless Hillary approved of this work.

Hillary's keeping Penn on her payroll while he lobbies against her supposed position against NAFTA is either stupid on her part or indicative of the fact that she really is not opposed to the free trade agreement for Colombia. Since another one of her chief campaign adviser's company is also on the payroll of Colombia, perhaps Hillary is again merely stupid or not so opposed to the Colombia free trade agreement.

But, when Hillary's Bill Clinton receives over $800.000 from Colombia and is extolling the virtues of the Colombia's proposed free trade agreement, that is a conflict of interest for Hillary. That puts her solidly in bed with a lobbyist for a foreign government.

The proposed Colombia Free Trade Agreement trade agreement is modeled on the North America Free Trade Agreement which was passed, with Hillary Clinton's help, through the strong efforts of Bill Clinton. NFTA resulted in the exporting of hundreds of thousands of American jobs to cheaper foreign labor pools.

Colombia is the most dangerous country in the world for trade unionists, over 400 have been assassinated with impunity since Colombia's anti-union, narco-trafficking President Uribe took power.


When Hillary loans her own campaign 5 million dollars from the joint Hillary-Bill Clinton assets into which Bill Clinton's $800,000 from a foreign government may have been co-mingled, that may be down right illegal, as it is unlawful for a candidate to accept funds from a foreign government.


Hillary Clinton's intimate ties to anti-union lobbyists and governments put her into direct conflict with the welfare of the vast majority of American workers. She is just as dangerous as McCain to them and to our country as a whole. Obama is our only hope for real change.
