and not gain weight BECAUSE I know it's full of calories. That, and Lofthouse cookies. The blue icing kind.

What the fuck kind of cognitive dissonance allows one to say you'll take their money, but not be influenced by that money? Oh, right. Those lobbyists are fucking idiots. They don't know they're being played. Won't they be surprised when they get the exact opposite of their intended influence. They'll be shocked, I'm sure.

I'd love to know who Clinton would like to have advising her in her cabinet. No, seriously. Probably nobody with connections to those donations she's receiving. Probably.

Dismissing the issue wasn't working, so it had to devolve into a personal attack in order to maintain the distraction.

It failed

when he has a D- NRA record, but okay when she turns around and raises money from them?
Or is it ("when women didn't deign to run for public office&quot just okay because of her gender.

If they did, they'd back someone else.

Very similar to Republicans in that regard, they don't care either.

Just before he defended raising the "necessary resources" from all of these organizations she supposedly opposes.

"She can stand up, as she always has, to special interests."

Like when she flipped from opposing the Bankruptcy Bill as First Lady to voting for it as Senator from New York.

Truly Orwellian.
