Here's a look-see at contributors to Hillary Rodham Clinton's political action committee, HILLPAC. Her donors bring to mind the cult movie, "The Stepford Wives," a group of mind-numbed robots, programmed to not question or challenge anything or anybody. Hil's donors should be called the Stepford Democrats.
Hillary has tapped into the so-called elite of New York and Los Angeles. According to easrlier news reports, HILLPAC has received noteworthy contributions from actress Marlo Thomas, former White House aide John Podesta, SlimFast chairman Daniel Abraham and financial writer Andrew Tobias. Clinton has also received $124,500 from corporate and union PAC corporations that gave her the maximum amount allowable, $5,000, including Long Island's Cablevision and Federal Express.
Marlo Thomas is married to the viscerally liberal Phil Donahue......who's doing a major flopola on cable TV talk.
Hillary focused on using HILLPAC money to give to fellow Dem candidates which she envisioned as a tool to build her power base in the Senate. So far she's batting a thousand.
As of May 2002, receivers of the Hillary largesse included fellow Democrat senators in tough re-election races, such as Missouri's Jean Carnahan (loser), Montana's Max Baucus (loser) and South Dakota's Tim Johnson. Clinton has also donated to several House members facing difficult elections, such as Rep. Lane Evans, D-Ill. According to the Buffalo News, HILLPAC also gave $10,000 to the embattled Sen. Bob Torricelli, D-N.J. (forced out when dogged by corruption)
Hil really knows how to pick 'em, eh? Losers, I mean. Hil and Bill also backed Walter Mondale, NY guv loser Carl McCall, and Mass guv loser Shannon O'Brien, and many more too numerous to mention.
