    WASHINGTON -- Two Canadian banks tightly connected to promoting the controversial Keystone XL pipeline in the United States either fully or partially paid for eight speeches made by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the period not long before she announced her campaign for president. Those speeches put more than $1.6 million in the Democratic candidate's pocket.

    What we see is a corporate Democrat who's not a progressive,she is just like her husband. Moreover, she is too old to change her spots. Do we really need a President, who can say anything to anyone for a price, with zero conviction behind it?
    If we make the mistake of electing Hillary, she will sign the bill to authorize the Keystone XL pipeline her first day in office.

    She's selling the presidency.

    Isn't it obvious?

    The worst part of it is, she has the blessing of the Supreme Morons.

    God what a bunch of idiots those people are. They should all be impeached for incompetence. We should wipe the slate clean and start over.

    Let's wait until she has locked up the nomination before we expose her for the corrupt pig that she is.

    That being said, we should have a full accounting of the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Library to include all the donations and whatever countries, companies, groups or individuals they came from. We also need to know more about the shell corporations and whether or not they reported all this money in their income taxes.

    Why? We should destroy her before she even has a chance to run. That way the Dems will have to run Eilzabeth Warren (who will lose) or Bernie Sanders (who will also lose) or Joe Biden (who will lose too).

    Okay, but even if Hillary wins the nomination and the presidency she will do more damage to the democrat label than Obama has done.

    All of Washington DC has been bought and sold a long time ago.
    As for "wiping the slate", I have a "motto".

    RE-NO <ReElect No One.....for the next 10-15 years minimum>

    The cash donations Hillary simply has no answer for.

    The Clinton Foundation's business relationship with 20 foreign governments raises real questions about her judgment

    Among all the rivers of money that have flowed to the Clinton family, one seems to raise the biggest national security questions of all: the stream of cash that came from 20 foreign governments who relied on weapons export approvals from Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

    Federal law designates the secretary of state as “responsible for the continuous supervision and general direction of sales” of arms, military hardware and services to foreign countries. In practice, that meant that Clinton was charged with rejecting or approving weapons deals — and when it came to Clinton Foundation donors, Hillary Clinton’s State Department did a whole lot of approving.

    While Clinton was secretary of state, her department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors. That figure from Clinton’s three full fiscal years in office is almost double the value of arms sales to those countries during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

    The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that gave to the Clinton Foundation. That was a 143 percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the Bush administration. The 143 percent increase in U.S. arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors compares to an 80 percent increase in such sales to all countries over the same time period.

    In a world where Sheldon Adellson can bankroll a candidate in total and keep him or her viable or Chris Christie going against his own party over a single donor's wishes, complaining about Secretary Clinton by right wingers is laughable.

    You say that as if the personal profiteering, the selling of access, the influence pedaling, the unprecedented dollar amounts, and selling out America's national security to the highest bidder were an everyday thing for republicans...it's not.
