Answer 1

Hillery's mantra,"don't do as I do, do as I say!"

Answer 2

Hillary voted "yea" on the ethics and lobbying reform bill. Lobbyists have to disclose their bundled contributions, and can no longer give free travel or gifts to members of congress. These rules will prevent the worst violations such as those that happened between 1996 and 2006 when the Republican culture of corruption dominated Congress.

Hillary voted in favor of this law because it was part of the 2006 Democratic party platform, and I'm sure wanted to clean up K Street. If she had accepted "millions illegally from lobbyists", she'd be in jail now like Republicans Jack Abramhoff, Congressmen Duke Cunningham, and Bob Ney.

Answer 3

Ms. Clinton supposedly voted for stricter laws concerning "contributions", because it will look good if the vote is ever brought up. I doubt if she accepted illegal contributions since that would have already been a major issue during her campaign. I feel knowing whether a candidate has voted for any type of contribution control or not is ridiculous. To be elected to public office it takes money. This is why the media keeps us informed of who has collected the most amount of money. This election will be the most expensive in history (until the next election). Like all the other viable candidates, Ms. Clinton will have many "favors" to repay if she is elected.

Answer 4

How about the hundreds of minimum wage chinese laundry workers who max out campaign donations, yet cannot be found physically or any records of having voted in any election.

As with other campaigns looking for dollars in unpromising places, the Clinton operation also has accepted what it later conceded were improper donations. At least one reported donor denies making a contribution. Another admitted to lacking the legal-resident status required for giving campaign money.

The Times examined the cases of more than 150 donors who provided checks to Clinton after fundraising events geared to the Chinese community. One-third of those donors could not be found using property, telephone or business records. Most have not registered to vote, according to public records.

And several dozen were described in financial reports as holding jobs -- including dishwasher, server or chef -- that would normally make it difficult to donate amounts ranging from $500 to the legal maximum of $2,300 per election.

There is nothing about Hillary that I can see is above water.

Answer 5

Because, as royalty, the Clintons have diplomatic immunity. The only ones who really noticed her grabbing up of thousands of dollars from the poor and indigent ghetto paupers, were talk radio hosts.

They killed her effing chief of staff and commerce secretary and got away with it--what's a little cash between friends like the Clintons & the national media?

I don't know how it is you found this out, but, there is a commision ready to assert itself. The Federal Election Commission.
She has so much experience in being investigated, I'm sure
she thought that by voting to toughen the laws she would be able to find a way around them that no one else would ever find. Just for that we should elect her as she would be the smartest of the bunch.

Answer 8

There are always ways of getting around the law

Answer 9

She has ideals and wants to improve things, as contrasted with the Republicans who have no trouble with the idea that Big Money should rule.
