Given the fact that Hillary Rodham Clinton is still the Democrats front runner for 2008 after admitting to the public she takes money from lobbyists (who pay to influence decisions if you have forgotten) and has no intention of stopping, those who continue to support her are either crooked or have a learning disability. Giving the benefit of the doubt, it will be assumed the learning disability accounts for a substantial share of those in HRC’s support base. So repetition will be required to get through to them.

Before any readers get all upset and rashly submit comments about this post being Hillary hate speech, hold your water and pay attention for a moment longer. By now you have probably looked ahead and see the reference below is supplied by Byron York of the National Review Online. Before you put fingers to keyboard to offer an insult or accuse this of being a right wing conspiracy, keep in mind his sources include ABC and the Washington Post. Let’s see. Did the Washington Post have anything to do with investigating Watergate? Hmm, wasn’t that President a member of the GOP? So they’re not entirely averse to action against the right side of politics.

While the piece is dated from 2006, the rest of the piece covers misdeeds from the left and the right. If you are on the left, the time of publication was during Tom Delay’s fall from grace and the Abramoff scandal. That is the right side. But then neither Delay or Abramoff are running for President. Hillary Rodham Clinton is. The excerpt below is linked for further reading but what is here goes back to early First Lady years and forward.

It is understandable that Hillary Rodham Clinton’s followers would object to this post. No one enjoys dealing with unpleasant information about their chosen candidate. Just like going to the dentist and being exposed to some discomfort, this is for your own good and, minus the dentist, the good of the country. Stop again for a moment and understand that Hillary Rodham Clinton’s history is filled with stories like these and sainthood is not in her future. And one more time for repetition therapy, all politicians are capable of these types of behavior but we have enough of them in Congress and do not need one in the White House. Whatever your opinion might be about President Bush, that ship already sailed and you can’t do anything about it. There are six other candidates to choose from so you have plenty of other choices.

And if you have your heart set on voting for a woman as President, the first woman Speaker of the House should be a clue. Make better choices. That one is not working out so well for ya ( or anyone else ). It’s a long campaign season and we will have many more opportunities like this to help you make an intelligent decision in 2008. God knows, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s history has nearly unlimited stories to share.

The contributions are not Sen. Clinton’s first contact with Tan, or with the Northern Marianas. In 1997, the Washington Post reported that Mrs. Clinton, then First Lady, made a brief visit to the island of Guam in September 1995. During her few hours there, she attended what the Post called “the biggest political fund-raising effort ever on this trade-wind caressed chunk of American territory 6,100 miles west of California.” Among those in attendance, the paper reported, was Willie Tan. The Post said that U.S. officials were “concerned” about some of the donors who met with Mrs. Clinton, including Tan, whose “Saipan-based garment companies donated at least $17,500 to the DNC.”

Three weeks after Mrs. Clinton’s visit, the paper continued, “a Guam Democratic Party official arrived in Washington with more than $250,000 in campaign contributions. Within six months of that, [a group of] Guam businessmen had ponied up more than $132,000 for the Clinton-Gore reelection campaign and $510,000 in ’soft money’ contributions to the Democratic National Committee, making the island, with its 140,000 residents, the biggest donor to the Democratic Party per capita of any territory in the United States.” Later, the Post continued, “the contributions from Guam were followed…by signs of a significant and controversial change in the Clinton administration’s policy toward the island.”
