I see that the Clintonistas are out of cash...No real surprise there.

As far as I know, this woman still has (in common with Bill) literally millions of dollars in unpaid legal fees for the whole (still not prosecuted) Whitewater thing.

Yet she can "loan" her campaign 5 million dollars. Let's consider this for a second here....FIVE MILLION DOLLARS is a slush fund for this woman in her attempts to get herself into the highest office in the land.

Then I recalled how she (they) showed their true mettle by "gifting" themselves large amounts of taxpayer funded goodies on the way out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

So then I noticed this little "gem" information in the CHB article:
"...while the bulk of Clinton's funds come from political action committee and special interest groups.."

Joyfully realizing that this over bearing, nasty tempered, foul mouthed, person owes LOTS of favors. MANY, MANY of them.

Practically cross eyed with fury, I growled out loud, "AND WHO THE **** IS GONNA GET STUCK WITH THE BILLS FOR ALL THOSE FAVORS, AND WHY IS THIS BEING ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?"

Then the thinking part of the brain took over, and I said to myself, "Time to get above all this crap"

We NEED to say to the people running for office: "NO, you can't run if you owe favors even before you get there."

I would even back step that one to say to every politician at any level, "Sorry, you sold yourself out, you need to leave now", if they are found to owe favors while in office.

We as a nation NEED to stop rolling in the filth of special interest requirements, and pork based politics.

We as a nation can no longer afford to have the taxpayer foot the bills for special interest groups and their attempts to thwart, and or, influence the laws and the Constitutional governance of this country.

It's bad enough that we already HAVE the best government money can buy. Why do we need to let them rub our faces in it.

As a nation we need to lift ourselves out of the muck, and into the sunlight. We need to get above it all. Failure to do so will be the end of what little bit of freedom we have left.
