Hillary the time waster
At the YearlyKos convention this past weekend the Democratic candidates were asked questions about accepting money from Washington lobbyists.
John Edwards is very passionate about not taking any money from federal lobbyists. Edwards went on to say, …The Democratic party should say from this day forward “we will never take a dime from a Washington lobbyist, we do not do business with these insiders, we’re gonna give the power in this government back to the people.” He added that Senator Obama and he had already made that pledge.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has not. She said that she does take money from Washington lobbyists and will continue to do so. In her cocky style (that I can’t stand) she talked about how in her “35 years of fighting for what she believes in” she has never been influenced by a Washington lobbyist.
If that is the case, then why meet with them and take their money? If they have never convinced her of anything why would she waste her precious time on meeting with them? She should be spending time on meeting with people who educate her to make smart decisions, not with people who have never contributed to her policies.
Why would someone continuously meet with people who contribute nothing to their cause?
The “35 years of fighting for what she believes in” also seems a bit odd. What has she done in those 35 years? Look at her bio…small lawyer, wife of Governor, wife of impeached President, Senator. She is not qualified to be our president. All other candidates at least have a track record that they built themselves.
Clinton went on to say that real Americans are represented by Washington lobbyists, to which Sen. Obama replied by asking the crowd how many of them were represented by a Washington lobbyists…one hand went up.

Another Hillary basher sounding off….
When Barac Obama or any other politician represents the wishes of the people, it will be a great day.
Until then, they really are all cut from the same template, one that is made by the business interests they are elected to serve. The rest of us can get well and truly knotted.
With Corporate Execs paying themselves more for a bonus than what you and I earn in a lifetime, something is definately wrong. When politicians ignore the vested interests of these people, they find themselves out of office. Politicians are parasites, as are the execs of the big corporations…
Feeding off you and I….scrabbling as we are over the scraps.
Every political assassination is a victory for the working man.
