"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

"Cackle!"

I have a question. How often do these foreign governments donate to charitable foundations? Especially, charitable foundations outside of their own country?

It seems like an unusual transaction unless they were looking for quid pro quo.

If McCain had gone after Obobo in this manner, he would have slaughtered him.

[Pearls Before Swine]

She can’t give them back, because they’ve been mostly spent on jetting the family around. A good deal of the money is gone. Besides, she resigned from the Foundation for her run. So, any decision is up to Chelsea... and Bill. Bill, that greedy ole’ horndog, ain’t giving it back, no way, no how.

Ted Cruz has called on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to return all donations...

Never realized Ted had such a wild sense of humor. Is he seriously asking the Clintons to give money back? It would be easier to get a steak from a pit bull's jaws.

[A Navy Vet]

Cruz knows where the nail is for his hammer. I think this to be a brilliant move, and he says it without sounding overtly partisan.

If you’re going to run for President , SHUT DOWN THE CLINTON FOUNDATION !!!!!!!

[ken5050]

Foreign governments can do dumb things. But what really pisses me off is when countries, like Algeria, who each year receives more than $100 million in US aid ( non-military) pays $500K for lobbyists in DC.

< Because money is fungible, we are in effect paying to be lobbied. There are about a dozen countries that do the same thing.

I'd like to see Congress pass a bill stating t hat ANY country that receives non-military US aid may NOT employ a lobbyist in Washington.

[Nifster]

I stand with Ted

[Unmarked Package]

The Clinton Foundation scandal was the top of the news when Cruz issued the statement six days ago, but the Baltimore riots knocked it out of the headlines temporarily. Peter Schweizer’s book will be released next Tuesday (May 5th) and I don't think Hillary can depend on Obama to organize another riot.

[American Constitutionalist]

Better yet, if she really wants to be the champion of the little guy, then she would drop out of the presidential race, go down to Baltimore and donate ALL her campaign donations to all those businesses that were looted, burned down and help rebuild those neighborhoods in Baltimore.

[gleeaikin]

Why restrict it to NON-military aid?

[VideoDoctor]

I have a question. How often do these foreign governments donate to charitable foundations?

From my initial investigation the answer to your question is SELDOM and NEVER in regard to a foundation such as the Clinton's were running.

[catnipman]

“Is he seriously asking the Clintons to give money back?”

Hell yes! And he’s doing it precisely because he knows it’ll never happen. Cruz has now made this a negative issue for Hillary that will dog her until doomsday. THIS kind of bold attack is how Republicans can and should win. Both Romney and McCain ran disgraceful “i’m a nice guy” campaigns. Those kinds of campaigns don’t cut it against Alinsky/Commie foes. Going for the jugular does.

[minnesota_bound]

That is like asking George Soros to pay his taxes.

[VerySadAmerican]

Giving the donations back is good. But did the cash already pay for what the donors wanted?
