Donor To Bill's Foundation Helped By Legislation Enacted By Hillary

An upstate New York developer donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton's foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman's mall project.

And Bush didn't work on legislation. He just pumped money into Cheney's account. Cool Dude!

[Ted LPD]

And so what? She will be out of the Senate. Get used to Sec State HRC. This association thing is foolishness

[hortonhearsawho2]

See, this would never happen to Bush. I mean who would donate.

[amyeom]

Why isn't there any legislation barring blatant conflicts of interest such as this and Bush/Cheney's war profiteering?

[hortonhearsawho2]

Becasue Bill is helping people and george is not...

[MNmommy]

Well of course.

No one can post on the main thread, so let's provide a Clinton b@shing thread.

It's a party!

[hortonhearsawho2]

I heard Blitzer gave too and all of the other reindeer joined in...

[hortonhearsawho2]

Why don't you repugs just sit back and enjoy a good Cigar...think of Bill.

[hortonhearsawho2]

This is'nt fox ?

[partyofone]

Hillary's spokesman said: "Mrs. Clinton did not solicit the donation from Mr. Congel or discuss it with him or anyone on his behalf, and that she was unaware of its timing and size until last month."

W i n k, W i n k, N o d, N o d

[hortonhearsawho2]

Oh look, Bias point of view guy is here...

[NoSillyName]

Believe that and I'll sell you that Bridge to Nowhere.

[indiematrix]

This is EXACTLY why Hillary SHOULD NOT have been choosen as S.O.S. The fox is in the chicken coop again.

[iblisexpat]

Well. They are team players and Americans love team players, don't you?

[NoSillyName]

No.

[hortonhearsawho2]

Enron....Cheney.

[chedet]

They are such a sweet romantic couple.

[marijam]

So what? Let's investigate every donor to every politician and see what we find.

[partyofone]

So what? The Clintons have been selling influence to the highest bidders at home and abroad, to become mega millionaires. They are now poisted to sell the influence of the SoS, and stain the fledgling Obama administration.

Most Americans want Washington corruption to end. The Clintons are taking it tonew hights.

We should investigate every quid pro quo donation but start with the MOST abusive.

[marijam]

I don't think so. Ever bother to read The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule?

[swo68]

Yup. This is just like Obama getting pork for the hospital where Michelle works. I'm sure her promotion/raise was a coincidence.

It's how the game is played.

[westcoastsc]

If you can find me more, find me more.

[gastoys]

Why would anyone care about this when our own President elect received funds from Gaza, Iran and Syria as well as folks who donated numerous times over the $2,300 limit.

[partyofone]

Please provide links to documentation.

[hortonhearsawho2]

he means bushie...

[johnnynyc]

Because if its not on the internet its not true, right?

[abby4ever]

Have you got a link for your claim about Obama receiving funds from Gaza and Syria and Iran?

[MNmommy]

"(In a similar case earlier this year, the campaign returned $33,000 to two Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip who had bought T shirts in bulk from the campaign's online store. They had listed their address as "Ga.," which the campaign took to mean Georgia rather than Gaza.)"

Evidence?

[ggmome]

Hillary's appointment as SOS is going to be problematic, at best! Too many complications involving Bill will rear its ugly head. This will not be a 'good thing'. You heard it here first.

[abby4ever]

Actually, we heard it a long time ago!

[hortonhearsawho2]

So, how was the cave?

[JiminNC]

I guess he already returned

[bluemike]

You are right, but they are both crooks.
