Killary Klingon is, of course, corrupt to the bone. http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2015/04/23/the-clintons-crony-capitalism-and-american-foreign-policy/But her corruption will matter nothing to the brainwashed morons who vote for her, since they’ll claim that 1. They’re showing how liberal they ate by voting for a woman and2. That she’s less bad than whichever unelectable kook the Republicans put up to pretend to run against her.
“The medium is the message.” – Marshall McLuhan – 1964.“…… a medium affects the society in which it plays a role not only by the content delivered over the medium, but also by the characteristics of the medium itself.”.The proliferation of full time news channels each requiring content and ratings to survive guarantees there will be stories created where there are no stories, accurate research will be secondary to sensation, titillation will be favoured over substance, bad behaviour sells more than good. McLuhan was never more right.
It just strikes me that the high road in American politics has gotten a lot lower in the past few decades. One side accusing the other of something they both have. But the cronyism gotten much worse since Peoples United.
That’s right, keep harping on Hillary. It might just distract enough people from the Republican candidates long enough for one of them to have a chance to win.
When I found out during the 1990’s that Bill Clinton enjoyed a campaign contribution from China, I was flabbergasted! I thought it was illegal to accept money from foreign nationals and nations. It SHOULD BE!! Foreign entities should be barred from any such practice.

Sure, I’ll probably vote for Hillary. Can you say “Supreme Court”?

(A lot of that baggage is empty. The GOP has a funny habit of writing meaningless things on pieces of luggage and pretending they’re heavy.)
