A serious question for Hillary supporters.
To all you Hillary supporters out there trying to make hay of the Rezco story, what is your response to Hillary taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from Norman Hsu (who is now convicted and in jail), including some that she filtered to political allies like Tom Vilsack (to help him relieve campaign debt) and others? Also, and perhaps even more importantly, how do you respond to her DEFENDING that she takes more corporate PAC and lobbyist money than from many or most Republicans? This is an honest question. Is this the "change" you want from Hillary? Sounds like more of the same awful old political system to me.
I would like honest answers from the Hillary folks please, not foolish ones or answering with questions to me. Just kindly answer the questions. Much appreciated.

1. I don't care who takes money from who
Just don't lie about it. Don't say you were not involved with someone when you have been.

2. Obama took money and did favors - not so with Hillary/Hsu - nurses for single payer are called
health industry bribes to Hillary under your "corporate PAC and lobbyist money"

while Obama under same rules but extending them to Illinois lobbyists and friends and family of federal lobbyists is the champ on taking money from folks that want something

Also lobbyist rule for Obama is rather new - but I guess you knew he was a con job
