Clinton Debt $5 Million Higher Than Reported

Hillary Clinton's campaign debt at the end of March was bigger than it appeared because she didn't list the $5 million she loaned herself, a campaign finance watchdog group reported this afternoon.

Clinton, in her filing with the Federal Election Commission, reported that her campaign had $9 million in cash on hand as of March 30, and $10 million in debts.

Me thinks HRC's campaign needs to look into staying at Motel 6 instead of the Hyatt, and flying coach. Maybe make her revolutionary speeches in Bubba's Greasy Spoon instead of high school gyms. No offense to Bubba!

[marc1antony]

I agree wholeheartedly. Perhaps if they didn't live the high life on the road they wouldn't be so far in debt and owe so much money everywhere. Shameful that they can't pay their bills and have millions in the bank.

[saram]

So after raising $10 million after the PA primary she's STILL in debt?!

and how's she planning on fixing our economy if she can't even keep her campaign out of debt?

[Brebro]

Bill and Hillary are, indeed, powerful Illuminist witches!

get a life you little Clinton haters--she has the money and we will be giving her more as she needs it!!--you Husein lovers have a bake sale and make sure you sell chocolate cake!!

[MizFlagPin]

She should use some of that money to buy a new wardrobe. One that includes a few skirts and dresses. I understand that Billary forces her to wear those horrific pantsuits, but still HRC is responsible for her appearance.

[drzoon]

then give her the money. she needs it.

she has gone broke several times now.

i mean, for the life of me, i can't figure out how come she has such a hard time raising money like barack does... $25 at a time.

i mean... she has a large following who want to see her nominated... right? she HAS to have at least the 1.5 million supporters that Barack has... doesn't she?

then you guys (all 1.5 million) need to step up and help this old war bag out.

what's the deal?

[ProgressiveBum]

Ahhh....don't we all just love seeing Rodham's racist supporters expose themselves? Any candidate, who has blown her huge lead at the beginning of the campaign, and then has the audacity to stiff her vendors to put on a show is not fiscally enlightened enough to become commander-in-chief.

[biglith]

chocolate cake? This is a rather racially insensitive remark in my opinion but what I've come to expect during this crazy primary.

[KatieBeGood]

At least Obama pays his bills. Your gal Hillary, on the other hand, is stiffing her creditors to the tune of $10 million. This is the woman who wants to be President and cares about the little guy. A large majority of the creditors on her list ARE the little guy and she is putting their businesses in jeopardy. I'm quite sure, when she contracted for their services, she did not say "By the way, I'll pay you some time after the presidential race is over".

[viking50]

The clintons have lied soo many times while they are smiling , you dont know when they are telling the truth.

[drzoon]

hey.. with the clintons... the truth is only and accident.

[k6007]

UGH, nasty! And, a poor speller. LOL

[CostaMesaJoe]

CLINTON SCRUPLES AND MORALS LOWER Than Reported.............

[ProgressiveBum]

ROTFLMAO

[RanTheMan]

The Hillary camp lies by twisting the truth again?
What else is new?

[KatieBeGood]

How much do you want to bet the $10 million she supposedly has collected since the PA primary is also a lie? Oh, I forgot, she will have "misspoke".

[HopeGirl]

Its pretty pathetic.

Every time any Hillary supporter gets confronted on any thing, they have no response.

None.

Looks like the Hillary faithful are losing faith.

They got nothing.

They know their candidate is a broke, lying, manipulative loser.

Not a good place to be.

[CocteausTwin]

They have found themselves in the most regrettable place possible, a place without hope.

[HopeGirl]

Poor blue collar sheep! Send Hillary money-now.

Send her a lot. She needs it to keep her 5 star hotel, Lear Jet, lavish lifestyle campaign for the 'little people' going.

Dog deep, sell a car, get a 2nd job ( oh wait there aren't any), sell your house-but get her the money. Her elite Hollywood and Corporate millionaires are tapped out.

So its up to you-lower class, uneduated blue collar people! 5 bucks, send her 5 bucks.

She isn't payingoff her lavish, mismanaged campaign-YOU are.

Look at it this way, she may send you a flag pin.

[ProgressiveBum]

...and the flag pin will say 'Made in China'. And, whatever you, don't kiss the flag pin! The paint contains lead.

[lucky54]

Look at it this way, she may send you a flag pin.

If she can afford it :)))) Poor little sheeple, just one question:
Is Hillary going to run country finances the same way as she managed her campaign money???

[northeast73]

How much debt did BILL RICHARDSON have at the end of his camp?

Where did it all go?

It all disappeared after his endorsement of Obama.....does that bother any Hufftards?

[KatieBeGood]

I suppose you are trying to infer that Obama paid off Richardson's debts in exchange for his endorsement. Do you have any proof of this? A link to a reputable news agency reporting this will suffice.

[drzoon]

oh god you idiot! nothing happens with this money that isn't all recorded and for public to see.

the problem with Hilary is she is past the point of caring if she gets caught lying... again!

you stupid freaking folks who say stuff like this... it just makes me want to puke.

i've had it with the the reasonably informed having to carry the stupid and easily confused in this country!

if there were an island that we could ship the stupid ones in this country off to, we could get busy with all the work that needs to be done! but... i can't imagine an island big enough!

[dawlishgal]

Doesn't bother me....not when I look at the huge amount that Hillary takes from the lobbyists for the same healthcare companies that lied about and killed her previous healthcare plan.

[HopeGirl]

She has tapped out all of her Hollywood and Corporate connections. She is now out panhandeling 5 bucks at a time for her blue collar sheep.

Pathetic. They are loaded at 109 million in the bank and they are going to manipulate the lower class, blue collar worker that barely can make it these days to send her money so that she can pay off her lavish, mismanaged and elite campaign bill.

5 star hotels and Lear jets don't come cheap.

[KatieBeGood]

Also, one has to wonder why they won't loan themselves more money out of that $110 million. Romney loaned his campaign $ 48 million. And he's eating it because he didn't have that amount of money left in his war chest to pay himself back.

So, why doesn't Bill and Hill have enough faith in her campaign to loan it more money? They seem content to blow through their donors money and stiff their creditors, but they won't spend another penny of their ill-gotten gains.

[HopeGirl]

You are delusional.

Hillary can't manage a few million in a campaign how will she manage trillions?

She won't.

Hill and Bill run a lavish, mismanaged, hedonistic and elite lifestyle and they want YOU to pay for it.

So, get over there to Hill.com and hand over somemore cash to your failed candidate.

She has run a a huge bar bill and she isn't picking up the tab-YOU are.

She has 5 star hotel suites to pay for, limos, meanl, jets, wardrobews, and the cronies. The cronies that have have advised her failed and crappy campaign-don't come cheap.

BTW...she lied again about how much she owes.

Aren't all of her lies getting to you? You getting some buyers remorse?

She is going to pull an Edwards...tell YOU and theother sheep that she is in it for the long haul, manipulate YOU into paying off her lavish campaign bill and then she will drop out.

So dig deep blue collar white guy-Hill needs you to pay off her debt.

[northeast73]

Why is it OK for Mitt Romney to lend himself $42 MILLION, but $5 million from her is scandelous?

[KatieBeGood]

So, why is that all she is willing to loan to her campaign? Hill and Bill have collected $110 million since he left office (probably more since they haven't released their 2007 taxes). Romney believed in his campaign enough to loan it $42 million but all Hill and Bill are willing to spend is $5 million?

They seem pretty happy blowing through the contributions people like you make to her campaign, while she stiffs the vendors that extended her credit. But she's not willing to invest her own money in her campaign. Is that OK with you?

[HopeGirl]

Becuase Mitt was honest about it and Hillary lied about it.

You see-pathological lying is bad.

Bush lies-all the time and that is bad.

Hillary lying all the time is equally bad.

Make sense now?

[Give Peace A Chance]

Mitt isn't in the race. So what is your point?

[RThM]

The point is to take the cookie but point the finger at someone else.

[nativeeyes]

SHE WON PENNSYLVANIA AND THE FIRST THIS SHE SAYS ON DAY ONE, I NEED MONEY!!!

I AM BROKE AND I AM SMILING AND LOSING MY SHIRT!!!

MAYBE I WILL ASK THOSE SNIPERS FOR A FEW BUCKS..

MY CAMPAIGN SUCKS, I AM IN DEBT AND THIS DUDE IS KICKIN MY ARSE..

I AM NOT FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE TO STAY OUT OF JAIL..

HELP!!

I AM HILLARY LYING A..S CLINTOON AND I NEED MONEY OR ELSE!!!

[nativeeyes]

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD, THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD!!!

HILLARY IS FLAT BROKE, OWES 9 MILLION IN BILLS.. SHE'S A DEAD BEAT..

THROW HER IN JAIL...

AND HER CAMPAIGN OWES HER 5 MILLION...

I WONDER IF SHE IS GETTING CREDITORS CALLING EVERY DAY TOO.. LMAO!!

[Give Peace A Chance]

Another mismatch of words and actions by Hillary.

Those who just contributed $ 10 million(?) will have buyers remorse because she has already lost the race.

[irishgawdess]

So now she has approx. $3.7 mil. BFD. But we won't really know how much her campaign made in April until May. She's keeping her fingers crossed that she actually did pull in $10 mil. Good luck with that...

Does her campaign get a negative credit rating if she doesn't pay back the $5 mil loan? Will she get to write-off the loan as a "bad debt" on her personal income taxes? Just wondering...

[Independent_voter]

hil-lie-ary lied. surprise, surprise

[NoFactsJustTruth]

The Clintons will undoubtedly spend the next 2 to 6 weeks trying to spend less than they take in to and retire the accumulated debt they've accrued. They'll hope some catastrophe hits the Obama camp that saves them, but they'd be complete idiots to not see the party and donors are now abandoning them and will not return in force unless that Obama candidacy is magically ended somehow. They're typically NOT complete idiots.

While they tell what donors they still have they are going all the way, it's more likely those hard core supporters will find themselves deceived and used by the 'say anything' campaign that'll continue taking their money, and is actually just eliminating a massive debt now that will cause many law suits if not paid off.

Can you say, 'throwing good money after bad'?
