Hillary Clinton Giving Dirty Campaign Money To Charity

You know what my favorite cover-your-ass political maneuver is?  Second only to the one where the politician says something really offensive, and then “apologizes” to everyone for saying by with something like “I’m sorry....if what I said was offensive?”

It’s the one where a politician takes a bunch of dirty campaign money and gives it back...after they got caught taking it.  As though giving that money to charity after the fact makes it all better.

But what the heck.  It’s a Clinton.  It would almost be...unnatural if there wasn’t a scandal or two like this.  The liberal base will forget it and vote for her anyway.  And why not.  Whose else are they going to vote for, Dennis Kucinich?

Clinton should’ve known, of course, because she personally counts and doublechecks everyone’s donations to make sure they’ve complied with the law.  That’s what Fred Thompson does, after all.

Note to Hillary Clinton voters: The next time you get caught ripping off a gas station or 7/11 (and you KNOW you will!), simply offer to donate the money to charity! The police officer will then smile, apologize and send you on your way!



Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

Someone better follow the money and disclose exactly what charity she is donating to. Otherwise it will end up in the “Hsu Support Hillary Charity” once more.

You can not trust a Clinton.

People do, they’re the ones that wind up with knives in the back.


The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

If Democrats didn’t cheat, they wouldn’t be Democrats.  They are also good at lying.


Being liberal is never having to admit you’re wrong

I’m with jpe on this one; unless the source is a known commodity, exactly why should politicians be bound to reject it?  It is the donor supporting the politician, at least in theory, not the politician the donor.

Maybe just give it back to the donor would be a better way of doing things, but unless we can prove that Hillebeast knew things were shady, I don’t think I’ll hold this against her.
