It's OK if you're a Republican. If you're a Clinton, accepting ANY speaking fee is criminal!

The little dears.

Reminds me of the conversations I've had with low information voters: "Hey, there are actual LEGITIMATE complaints you can have about (Obama, Clinton, insert Dem here), if you want to complain. But for crissakes don't make them up out of thin air. That's just stupid."

unquote.

It seems that they've been conditioned to think of us as monolithic, unquestioning voters. When I tell them that, I usually hear the distinct sound of crickets. Maybe I got through a little bit? Can't say.

takes money from anyone they can rip-off...my question is why would a veteran's group want to hear the corporate-controlled, bloody-handed, sub-human who lied the country into war?
