Even as the country is rightly focused on Hillary Clinton’s private emails and the impact they have on national security, Clinton has been receiving praise recently from her supporters in Hollywood, the fashion industry, and corporate America for her work promoting women’s equality. Anyone familiar with the work of the RNC Co-Chair would know that I am a strong proponent of the election and promotion of women. But reports that Clinton has historically paid her male staff more than she has paid her female staff have emerged, thereby calling into question her commitment to gender equality.
In her Senate office, women were paid 72 cents for every dollar a man made. And at the Clinton Foundation, the eight most highly compensated employees in 2013 were men.
But this isn’t the only example of her hypocrisy—when it comes to women’s equality as well as ethics in government.
The Clinton Foundation accepted money from at least 60 corporations that lobbied the State Department under her leadership. In some cases, those donations came after she helped the company and others came before. Despite calls for those donations to be returned, none of those corporations has sought to have donations returned.
In fact, the Clinton Foundation even lifted their own ban on international donations and accepted money from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and numerous other countries, despite the ethical questions it raises as she considers a run for president.
It is important to note that many of the countries that made commitments to the Clinton Foundation are also notorious for poor treatment toward women in their own countries. Clinton’s own State Department gave countries like Algeria, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia low ratings for their treatment of women, yet Clinton’s foundation gladly accepted donations from them.
It is Clinton’s “do as I say, not as I do” attitude that is a window into how she might lead as the U.S. president. It also shows the tenacity and commitment she has to win the White House in 2016. She will stop at nothing in her quest for the presidency.
Despite the fact that she faces few—if any—primary challengers, Clinton is still a flawed candidate, as was clear last week. Her press conference at the U.N. in response to her email scandal drew attention from every major news network. But it created more questions than it answered. It also showed just how unwilling she is to be open, transparent, and honest.
The fact that Hillary Clinton has lost touch is undeniable. From her $300,000-a-pop speeches to her demands for private jets to her comments that she was “dead broke” after leaving the White House, she certainly seems to think she deserves only the best.
Still, the Democrats increasingly feel they have no option but to support Clinton. So they’re ready to coronate her. She boasts millions of dollars raised with promises of millions more on the way. Not only does she outweigh everyone in resources, the Clinton team is lining up new staff everyday.
So while in 2014, we elected a record 104 women to serve in the 114th Congress and Republican women made history by electing the youngest woman to Congress and the first female combat veteran woman to the Senate, Democrats are preparing to take a victory lap for nominating a woman for president.
But with Hillary Clinton comes a lot of baggage. When they nominate her, they will have nominated a duplicitous candidate with a history of hypocrisy—one who is so flawed that even her advocacy for women has raised complicated ethical questions. That doesn’t sound like a winning candidate to me.
Here sums up the liberal viewpoint on their “elite”:
I don’t care how they do it,
I trust them to do the right thing.
(And I’m a good person for doing so.)
Bahhhhhhh Bahhhhhhhh Hilllllllaarrrrrryyyyyy saaaaaave usssssss.
Sheeple. They love her for one reason.. Gibmedats.
There are various classes of leftists.
Sure, there are Gibsmedats - but they hardly vote.
The more ubiquitous liberal you’re going to talk to places more value on the sense of self righteousness they derive from their advocacy than on any freebies they expect to get.
They value, above all else, their “good personage”, for WANTING to “give” to the Gibsmedat class.
The Clinton’s have and always be Trailer Trash
SHE did her political thing, graduated, became CEO or graduated and got married .... ultimately grew up and became more Republican than Democrat/Commie ... and didn't REALLY teach her daughter much of anything about her college days except that she COULD ride quads and cut firewood.
This hillary shit is a strange concoction (even to the ERA era feminist) of lesbian and satanic rite radicalism .... not much different than the muzzie beheaders.
You got that right. Liberals are fond of bleating about their "love" for their fellow-man....and more than willing to make a buck on it.
=================================================
Hillary and Bill are the poster faces for self-hating liberals afflicted w/ "feel-goodism"...and the've profited mightily off of it. Billy recently bleated about all "the good" the Clinton Family Foundation was doing(/snort).
"Smile everybody. Another $100 million came in today."
The con artists Clintons created the ultimate scam: The Clinton Family Foundation! .... a slush fund as a "foundation."........or as some uncharitably call it "Hillary's 2016 Super-Pac."
The Clintons' controls its officers. Each Clinton family member can be listed as an officer in some capacity. They then get all sorts of tax-free perks..... flying around in private planes, staying in upscale hotels.
For the cunning Bill Clinton, every conversation he has can be chalked up to "foundation business"...and written off as "Charity." Thus a significant portion of their real income is shielded from taxes.
The Clintons work the foundation game like an extortion racket.....strong-arming donors and giving them special standing courtesy of their public offices---sucking off the backs of struggling taxpayers.
That doesn’t matter to the sheeperal libs who seek their own righteousness through their advocacy.
Anyone from their party that gets elected is automatically “elite” and can be trusted to do the right thing regardless of the rules.
Otherwise, the sheeperal in question is not righteous for supporting them.
Women will vote for their own enslavement for a promise of security.
If it HAS to be explained; then minds will not be changed!
It sure does in Russia!
They told me to read Feminine Mystic to know our power without men. We can be lawyers, have business's, work in the government for change, don't need men don't need babies. I remember I used to feel guilty if I admitted that I did want to get married and have babies. It was so frowned upon, everyone thought I was pregnant when my husband and I choose to get married at age 21,why would you do that, mostly directed at my husband, she is not pregnant?
Hillary is a fraud and a fake. She defends her husband when he has sex outside of marriage even in the oval office. What kind of feminist does that? She would be nothing if it weren't for her man who has proven to be a pig extraordinaire.
one more thing, now all of our daughters have also heard this in high school and college. You know what most of the young woman I meet, daughter and friends 28-30+, want? to get married and have children. The ones that aren't yet are miserable.
