Clinton should be able to eradicate poverty by putting her $109 mill where her mouth is

Screaming, help, HELP, John Edwards. Please endorse ME. So what if Billy Bully and I made over $50 million just talking, talking, talking. We feel the pain of poor people. John, you got a $500 haircut! You understand us, no? You don't wanna be VP? Fine. I'll appoint YOU the poverty czar, while Obama will only offer Gore a cabinet position. Not an Environmental CZAR mind you. He does not like royal titles.

He is so unelectable because he has so many "followers" who will dump him the minute they find Jesus and join the real Family. Besides, he does not stay up all night like I do. I pick up the phone at 3a.m. on the first ring. I am ready to be CinC on the first ring and save our children from all those scary night prowlers.

Endorse me John John Edwards. Oh please John Edwards. See how fast I will eradicate poverty from our land, like you know, Bull Bill did by ending welfare as we knew it.

Taxes, poverty and the Clintons

Hillary wants to appoint a poverty czar the same day she releases her tax returns. A shout out to John Edwards that she will eradicate poverty in the same manner that her husband ended welfare as we knew it.

People are allowed to be wealthy?

but windfall meteoric rise from $1 mill to $109 mill in 8 years, does beg the question on how they were able to acquire such a huge amount in such short a time. I am sure the media will investigate in full.

What Did Bill Clinton Do To Get $14.4M From Ron Burkle?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/04/what-did-bill-do-to-get-1_n_95189.html

One big line item is missing from the press summary however: the $15 million paid to Bill Clinton between 2003 and 2007 by Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Global Opportunities Fund.

In fact, the Burkle payments, buried deep in the income tax forms themselves, were the only real news in tax documents, which were made public for the first time.

You know all the hillary followers who wanted Obama's head on a platter for dealing with Rezko? That is so yesterday. Today, it is all right to get rich quick. So what. They are the Clintons and they can.

True. So true.

Along with Ron Burke, the third angle of the triangle is Magic Johnson who is a Clinton supporter. They have brought triangulation to a new art form. Who woulda thought that that dick Dick Morris who honed their triangulation skills would be triangulated out of the triangle.

See why hillary has to appoint a "poverty czar" now? Will have to be Bill of course. Kinda like an oxymoron, no? Poverty and Czar? Was any Czar ever able to eradicate poverty? Besides pandering to John Edwards Bill and Hill will only keep the masses into further servitude to the corporate money making machine for the select few. Bill and Hill have finally crossed into that American dream. Hurrah.

Obama vs hillary

Finally, all the reams and reams of Clinton shills posting Rezko connections to Obama, will now come to an end. What a relief. Here we go round the mulberry bush.......

Hillary has done it to herself and not because she is a woman

Is America ready for a woman president? Not if the woman is hillary. Is the country ready for a black president? Not if her is Clarence Thomas.

Joan at her hillary pushing best again.

$109 mill

and the Clintons still cannot buy their super delegates? What a shame.

At least, now the end is here of all those pages and pages of Rezko Obama connections. The shills will now have to chill out on that.

You are 100% correct. The reason hillary has been steadily losing is because she and her husband consistently brought race into the campaign. Did Obama bring gender into the race? NOT

Clintons the poverty czars

It's not like the movie Titanic that made over $300 million in just a matter of weeks. $109 mill in 7 years is astounding. What has Jimmy Carter made, and for that matter, how much did George Bush 1 make? Or Reagan. But her lost his marbles while in office and could not remember Iran Contra.

Irrationality abounds on these boards. If you are not voting for hillary, you are a sexist. If you are a woman not voting for hillary, you are a traitor. If you are a woman who will vote for a woman, but not for this woman hillary you are not only a sexist but you are a racist as well. That is what Joan Walsh and her trolls are implying. They don't ever listen but throw bombs, most of the time, on their own logic.

Leckey

Joan Walsh and Salon wanted to find an excuse for why hillary is losing so badly. So they hit upon a novel idea to conduct a survey, and manipulate the questions, so Joan and Salon would get predetermined answers. How else can anyone explain such a stupid premise that America is more ready for a black man than a white woman.

Where would hillary be today if she were running against Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or Magic Johnson. Oops. She is already triangulating with Magic and Ron Burke on get-rich-quick.

"Clintonistas oppose the super-wealthy and tax-cuts for same when they are suggested and promoted by the Bush administration.

But when their own candidate turns out to be among the super-wealthy, then suddenly it's okay and fair because "she earned it.""

Notice how the Clintonon automatons are suddenly so quiet about Rezko and Obama after weeks and months of banging on that torn drum.
