Hillary Clinton fashions herself as the ultimate general in a war against big-money politics.

“You're not going to find anybody more committed to aggressive campaign finance reform than me,” Clinton said following the New Hampshire primary.

Clinton’s massive campaign machine is built of the very stuff — super PACs, secret cash, unlimited contributions — she says she’ll attack upon winning the White House.

Indeed, a Center for Public Integrity investigation reveals that Clinton’s own election efforts are largely immune from her reformist platform. While Clinton rails against “unaccountable money" that is “corrupting our political system,” corporations, unions and nonprofits bankrolled by unknown donors have already poured millions of dollars into a network of Clinton-boosting political organizations. That’s on top of the tens of millions an elite club of Democratic megadonors, including billionaires George Soros and Haim Saban, have contributed.

7. I'm against the law, but while it's the law, you use all legal means.

[NWCorona]

9. I understand your reasoning and I hope you can understand mine.

10. I get it, I just disagree. Trump is too great a risk to not use all means possible.

11. I feel the same way.

6. It 's occurred to me that there's a bit of pulling the ladder up behind you

to Hillary's claims of campaign finance reform - she milking the current system for all it's worth-yet says she'll change it?

8. Bigger liar, or bigger hypocrite? Such a tough call. The morons who support her swear she'll

nominate a justice who will overturn this abomination. Completely decoupled from reality.

[arcane1]

12. Legalized money laundering, and she's cashing in big-time. Even scamming downticket Dems.

It's how crooks roll.

[Ferd Berfel]
