Nearly $6 million in stimulus money was paid to two firms run by Mark Penn, who was Hillary Rodham Clinton's pollster in the 2008 presidential election. Federal records show that $5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus helped preserve three jobs at Burson'Marsteller, the global public'relations and communications firm headed by Penn.

Blood sucking, thieving, corrupt, money grubbing whores inhabit the halls of congress. It’s all about how much you can scam from the taxpayers to benefit you and your buddies.

Hillary is not to be trusted.

The whole Stimulus thing is a horrific failure and a boondoggle for Democratic special interests (think unions and more unions, including teacher unions).

I don’t know what is more disgusting that $6 million of taxpayer’s money was spent to for 3 jobs or that the money went to these political whores.

The answer to your question is most likely yes. When Hillary was negotiating with the Obama people about dropping out of the race she wanted help paying off her campaign debt.

On 04/20/2009, the Democratic National Committee sent out an email pleading with Obama supporters to help pay off Hillary Clinton’s outstanding campaign debt. According to Politico, she raised $5.6 million in the first three months of 2009 which paid off all of her outstanding campaign debt and she had just one more person to pay off: Mark Penn! Coincidentally (not), Hillary’s campaign debt to Mark Penn was between 5 and 6 million dollars.

We all need to look into this. It looks like there might be quite a big scandal here. Impeachable offense maybe?

Everyone in D.C. and their ‘friends’ have their hands in our wallets. When do we take our country back from these crooks in D.C.?

The unbelievable reality this points to is how there is no longer any firewalls between OUR money and Zero’s legions using it to push their Marxist takeover. This fascist is thinking way beyond Soros money.

It's the conservatives, holding the GOP “at the throat”

LOL. What? Do you try to do play-by-play with a dog fight, too?

Whatever it is, the rockefeller rinos and the conservatives are rolling around on the floor and Obama is going to step right over us in the process.
