I just emailed every news outlet I could think of to ask them
why they were not demanding Hillary release all her tax returns since 2000; why they are not demanding she release a complete list of her earmarks; why they aren't asking the tough questions on where the money for that $5 million loan came from,the donor lists, shady business deals, etc.

I am sick and tired of the lazy complicit media! I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it any more!


I doubt if it will do any good, but I needed to rant this morning.

1. You should be more concerned with what BUSH is doing
and what HE has been hiding for the past 8 years.

3. I am, but your gal is just the same as Bush in this regard---secrecy, secrecy and more secrecy.
If she has nothing to hide, then release it all already!

But of course we all know that Mr Obama controls the Media.

You guys truly are in a state of panic.

5. very true
Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 07:28 AM by IndependentDem
we are so wrapped up in our nomination process that many of us have stopped paying attention to what the current president and his band of misfits are really up to. Clinton or Obama will be a great change but the bastard isn't done yet!


edited because im a dumbass in the morning!

14. it goes both ways though..
i have been neutral for a while, and i still support BOTH of them. but the hate, disrespect and mud slinging has definitely gone both ways during this primary... but right now i would have to agree that most of it is coming from the obama side.

well, time to board a plane... have a great day!

21. Hillary became a freeper when Bill was guest of Rush Limbaugh show
no actually it was when she voted for the war on Iraq knowing better than
anyone it was the wrong thing to do - for the US and Iraq.

18. Is Bush running in the Democratic Primaries?
The media should focus on the candidates who have the best shot at pulling us out of the mess that is the Bush legacy. Bush has been "hiding" his crimes in plain sight and it will be a real tragedy if we can't manage a successful challenge against McCain in November.

23. Clintons have enabled NeoCons for 20+ years. Our current crisis is due to Bill letting Iran/Contra
and BCCI get swept under the rug.

7. I wish she would release the shit already!
so we can put this to rest, either way. I'm just done arguing over the shit when we dont even know if it is going to be a big deal. just like with Obama and the Rezco stuff, just come clean-- our imagination is usually worse than reality.

32. Betcha she files for an extension on her '07 tax returns. That gives her until October . . .
by which time it won't even matter until, perhaps, she runs for re-election as Senator for New York.

25. Because no one but you dyed-in-the-wool O-Bots cares about tax returns?
Most voters want to hear about things that actually, y'know, matter; withdrawing from Iraq, fixing the economy, providing health care, etc...

29. Did you send it to the new David Gregory Show starting tonight? Link here.....
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23580538/

I salute you for this!!! I have been posting and sending emails on this for weeks. ABC just did this article that has some of the questions I have asked:

The Clinton Tax Returns: What's the Holdup?
Pressure Is High for Clinton to Release Her Tax Returns Since She Loaned Her Campaign $5 Million

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4421457&page=1

By AVNI PATEL
March 10, 2008

Since 1999, the couple's net worth has increased from somewhere between $1.25 million and $5.7 million to between $10 million and $50 million, according to filings. In 2006, the Clintons earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from book royalties, and former President Bill Clinton made $10 million in dozens of paid speeches.
The disclosures shed some light on President Clinton's role in two companies run by longtime friends and fundraisers. Clinton earned an unspecified amount as a consultant for InfoUsa, a data company run by longtime friend and fundraiser Vin Gupta, according to the filings. The forms also showed ten of thousands of dollars invested in funds with the Yucaipa Companies, a private equity firm run by another close friend, Ron Burkle.

Many of the specific details surrounding the Clintons' income and assets remain unknown. "The disclosure forms are so limited in what they require," says Krumholz. "For example, there's nothing about your primary house or other houses you live in or use."

........

Keep it up!!! This is an important question to raise!


:applause:

30. Tax Returns
I believe the Clintons (both of them) released about twenty years of tax returns...what was it Obama released? Eight?
You'll get the latest tax returns. Were you of age when the 90s total investigation of the Clintons was going on? Perhaps you don't know that they have been thoroughly investigated. More so than any other politician. Including Obama.
Sticking your head in the sand when you hear something you don't like about your candidate is not helping the USA. Or is 'your side' more important than the USA?

34. You're welcome! Keep it going!
There are a lot of things out there that should and must come out soon! I don't know what the H is taking the media so long to put these out! Like the Paul v. Clinton trial that is coming up in Oct. 08. Why not????

I care about this and so should HRC supporters. She does need to be vetted before PA and for sure by the General if she thinks she is going all the way to the convention!

Don't let this rest! It is too important and the sooner it is out there and being talked about the better!

:hi: Thank you!!!
