This got my attention because I did a photo shop a lot like it once.

(14,177 posts)Back in the day I had a saying "If you mess with me I will break my fist on your face." Now, I can't do stuff like that and I don't do violence anymore. But, the principle is the same. I will not let up. I am relentless. If you want to silence me here go ahead. It will only give me more time to organize protests. It will only give me more time to tell more people in the real world where there are real consequences.

The 1% need no advocates.

(53,035 posts)What I did see was an encyclopedia reference to something in Arkansas that you claimed disqualified Hillary from being president, yet it made no reference to her whatsoever.
I see a lot of comments about Democratic voters whose votes shouldn't count because they don't vote as people here tell them to.
I see a lot of comments about Clinton's tone of voice or how she seems, and virtually nothing about policy.
And while you might enjoy your graphics, they provide no evidence that Clinton is "owned" by anyone. Now, I suppose it's possible that you think campaign contributions might result in policy, maybe even votes like immunity for gun corporations or a trillion dollars to Lockheed Martin for the F-35. I certainly can see why such policies would be concerning, only they aren't Hillary's, are they?
I also find it ironic that FDR is heralded as a hero, yet none of you seem to care that 25% of his campaign contributions came from Wall Street. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2016/02/08/why_its_ok_to_accept_wall_street_campaign_cash_129584.html
Did you hold his "owners' against him too, or does the fact he was born into extreme wealth make him exempt from such concern?
Then there is the fact Bernie himself has raised money from those same banks himself.

But he tells voters he doesn't, so that makes it okay.
I myself care a lot more about policy and accomplishments than rhetoric. YMMV.

I think it was the fact they got huge donations and she saw a rising star in him. But, I could be wrong about that.
Please continue to talk about how Hillary isn't bought. I find it amusing.
