There are a dozen ways to feed a kickback or bribe to a crook. Ron Burkle is just one of them.
Hooray Ed Morrissey! BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!
“In America, anybody can be president. That’s one of the risks you take.” - Adlai Stevenson
This is an example of a sane reason why campaigns should not start a year ahead of tradition. There is only so much money to go around for any campaign. If they blow their stash too early in the process, the remaining money available from contributors is going to be MUCH harder to obtain. Especially in a close race.
A Billion dollar campaign is absolutely absurd for the value the people can expect from the election outcome.
I would hope this lesson will be learned by the political parties, but I doubt it will be learned by the current crop of politicians. More money is not always available to fix things. I hope Hillary has to live within her means as a lesson. Times are hard. Money is tight. Fiscal management is of utmost importance. A free spending campaign is a bad example of how to manage a government responsibly.
Just a little more clarification....."Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady... is a congenital liar. *"William Safire, Blizzard of Lies"
Or......'prevaricator,' which means 'liar,' and 'dissembler,' which also means 'liar.'" Both Clinton's are thoroughly mendacious.....the MSM is pushing both Clintons and John McCain, something doesn't smell just right here................
IT'S COST THE TAXPAYERS $2.3 BILLION TO KEEP HILLARY IN THE SENATE
LA TIMES - To fuel her rise, Clinton has relied on the controversial funding device known as "earmarking." The earmarks enabled her to win favor with important constituents, many of whom provided financial support for her campaigns. . . Since taking office in 2001, Clinton has delivered $500 million worth of earmarks that have specifically benefited 59 corporations. About 64% of those corporations provided funds to her campaigns through donations made by employees, executives, board members or lobbyists, a review by the Los Angeles Times shows.
All told, Clinton has earmarked more than $2.3 billion in federal appropriations for projects in her state since her election to the Senate, much of it for public works projects funded in conjunction with fellow Democratic Sen. Charles E. Schumer and others in the New York congressional delegation.
