Two comments:

A) Nothing like buying votes with a little cash from hubbie's foundation.

B) How many corporate tax loopholes are there to be closed to fund the billions upon billions of program funding that Hillary proposes?

“I’m going to spend BILLIONS of other people’s money on failed programs and they will produce excellent results... this time”.

It’d be funny if it weren’t such a ubiquitous sentiment on the left.

Oh, I thought Saudi Arabia was already doing this type of schooling in this country.

A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon we might be talking about real money..... /s

How much fun is it to be Shrillery throwing other people’s money around like candy and confetti, pandering and snivelling while trying to buy more votes?

It has been a long established tradition of democrats to buy the southern black preachers and they would deliver the votes, started by JFK.

This tells me that she is actually worried about Iowa . She was thinking this would be easy , but this signals that her internal polling might suggest that she might lose Iowa.

She will win New Hampshire , but she will be counting on S.C. to wrap this up after losing Iowa and winning N.H.

She will bring Bubba out heavy for the Southern states if her internal polling is indicating an Obama surge . We shall see ...

There was an earlier article on how some ministers were now supporting her. I wrote they must have just accepted the checks...

Hillary is no different than any other Dem. They think that the South is a bunch if hayseed single toothed morons who only vote Southern Baptist. I get that here in my VERY liberal area that a Mormon can’t be elected. Those are the real bigots and they are mostly on the left.

Hmmm. The Clinton Family Foundation. Is this the “charity” to which the Hillster gives the inconvenient campaign contributions of the incarcerated Mr. Hsu? Inquiring minds want to know.

This is why the beast will win the rat nomination. She has every key committee person in every key state lined up and in her pocket, bought and paid for. When she loses in Iowa it will be just a bump in the road.
Do’nt worry all, she will be the rat nominee and we will be able to fully unload on her.

Goes back to FDR and probably back to 1860.
