Poor, poor HRC...

She was doing THREE fund raisers today...one of which was in California! I hope the donated luxury private jet got her to the las one in time...not.

at this point, fundraisers for Hillary create enthusiastic Bernie supporters. When you work for Bernie you are joining to do something great for the country-restore democracy and remove the oligarchy.
Hillary continues to get money from the oligarchy and support them on the issues. Everyday this would be emperor is being see as having no clothes. She is the target as the enemy to progressive economic action. Having a D beside her name and a skirt create a lot of support initially until we realize she just ain't really on our side. Go Bernie!

It all depends on what the meaning of "is" is - wait, I mean what the meaning of "poor" is.
Her infamous - at this point, icon to being out-of-touch, comment that the Clintons were dead broke when they left the White House was, is and shall ever be gob-smacking.

She had just received a $4 million advance on her next book, and the Clintons had just qualified for mortgages on TWO (I guess HRC would poor-mouth them as) "shacks".

http://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/30/us/clintons-buy-2.85-million-washington-
home.html
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29— President Clinton and Senator-elect Hillary Rodham Clinton signed a contract today to buy a five-bedroom, brick colonial-style house near Embassy Row for $2.85 million.

The Clintons have designated their home in Chappaqua, N.Y., which they bought last year for $1.7 million as their primary residence.

The Clintons are making a down payment of $855,000 and have a loan commitment from Citibank for $1,995,000, said the White House spokesman, Jake Siewart.

Hillary is working for the American people: not personal wealth,
if she wanted to do that she could have been a billionaire
by now

She's raising it for the Dems right?

So, any concerns about Bernie not having enough money to compete in a general election just disappeared!

Hillary like Dem's before her work together with the DNC to raise money:
given that they belong to the same party they work as a team.

One cannot hope to be President with out money and the party!


I don't support Bernie, I think he is not Presidential material,
however is a nice guy.

fully behind her. The $2700 to attend is only because $2700 is the maximum which can be donated to her campaign. Do you think Bernie could participate in a fund raiser where people are willing to pay $2700 to have the opportunity to meet Bernie?

I'm sure Bernie could participate in such a fundraiser. I have no doubt there are wealthy people willing to shell out the max to him. The question should be, "would he do so". Because he seems to have be making no effort to put his hand in the pocket of the uber-wealthy.

And tell half-truths in the doing, because that is how tearing down of a good woman has to be done, as it once was done, and still is, to a certain very good black man.

When will they ever learn, Dorothy?

Hillary has organizations in all 50 states now. What progress has Bernie made on that front?

Hillary is also helping to raise money for other Democratic candidates. And without a new Congress, no Democratic President will accomplish progressive goals.

"naïve" belief that Money actually has no more power than we the people give it.
If we listen, believe and React to the printed and highly paid mouthpieces espousing the virtues of the Moneyed....they get a ROI and Win.
If we ignore/shun/tune out that which money Buys..We win and they get Zero ROI.

This is serious stuff going on right now. We need to get serious about the reality of Money. We are the ultimate resource to get money Out of politics if we refuse to accept-Wholly Reject any of that which is shoved down our throats in all forms......
That's it. That is how we win. But "we" must stop the petty and divisive bs going on right now that pretends to Be divisive so "they" can Win.
Learn to recognize the bs-Don't step into their traps and simply Refuse to play along with any of it.
