Re: Clinton Foundation cease accepting donations during her run and her term (if elec

Tell a bird not to chirp and fly?
I think not.
Such advice would be contrary to the bird's nature.


Tell a dog not to bark when the doorbell rings?
I think not.
Such advice would be contrary to the dog's nature.


Tell Hillary not to accept cash money for future political favors, access, and specific (taxpayer-funded) pay-backs?
All of which harm this nation, but profit Hillary and Bill personally, financially, and politically?
I think not.
Such advice would be contrary to the woman's nature.

You cannot tamper with the nature of things.

Who do you think you are, GOD?

It should be completely dissolved and abolished. It is a holding tank for their bribe money.

The Clintons themselves should be banned from ever holding any political office for the rest of their lives. Same with Chelsea and any kids she might have.

Although, after this election, I think her political life is over except for some die hard worshipers that will still be clinging on to their forlorned(sp) hope.

She has so much in common with the rebs after the Civil War that wanted to keep fighting on. Only the flag is different.

She is fighting hard to keep her black slaves on the urban plantation.

Are you asking if she should, or if she will? Two different answers probably.

I don't see anything wrong with a pay to play system, who else should have influence over your mind but people with money? The Clintons, they were very unfortunate that Al Gore didn't win in two thousand and things like 9-11, Benghazi, ISIS, the economic crisis and debt have come upon us. What did we do? We elected Republican and they cut revenue and handed over crisis and then they said in the midst of crisis, no more borrowing, no more stimulus, failed stimulus (what kept us out of a great depression?) Now this Trump has come upon them and Mrs. Clinton.

She has already announced that if she wins the Clinton Foundation will stop accepting foreign donations and Bill Clinton will stop giving paid speeches.

I think they should stop now though.

From the time of Bill's tenure as Ark AG, the Clinton's have found a way of benefiting themselves over and above the perks of office, refining their technique along the way. I see nothing to make me think that will change now that there is a rreal possibility that they will reach the big gig.
 
Re: Clinton Foundation cease accepting donations during her run and her term (if elec

I remember making a post on here a long time ago to a liberal who thought Bill Gates was nothing but a one percenter who took advantage of the poor. I pointed out that the Bill Gates foundation helped poor people all over the world and they quickly countered that the foundation was nothing but a front to hide huge salaries to himself and others and finding a clever way to hide a bunch of money he didn't have to pay taxes on. I wonder what this same person's opinion is of the Clinton foundation.

Personally, I'm all for encouraging rich people to be charitable. That's why I voted no on the poll.

That being said, if there was any evidence uncovered that the Clintons were/are personally making money off their foundation, I would change my view immediately.

As to your point, no fixin stupid.

I doubt Clinton would accept a bribe, it's like they don't cheat on their taxes.

If you make a donation to a charitable foundation then maybe I will do something for you if it doesn't hurt anybody but the competition doesn't seem a bad precedent and if you can't get Clinton to do anything for you unless you donate to their foundation then this is a lot better than what a bad Trump would do to you.
