Hillary - Where are the bank statements?

[PBS Poll-435]

Since the release of your "tax returns," I find myself asking the same questions over and over again.

Why isn't there more dirt? We were told repeatedly that you were hiding some real nasty shit. Why wasn't there more? It doesn't make any sense. I was really counting on it.

The only reasonable answer is that you lied on your tax returns. I am afraid, to be fully "vetted," we need more.

To clear your good name, I demand that you release your bank statements for the last 8 years. Every account. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. I am also going to need:


1) Grocery shopping lists for the past 25 years. What were your really feeding your family? Did Chelsea get her USRDA of every macro-nutrient, vitamin & mineral? I need to know, now.

2) Vehicle maintenance receipts for the last 10 years. Did you really change your oil every 3,000 miles? Did you keep your tires properly inflated? Did you have Armor-All applied to the dash to prevent cracking? My gut says no...

3) Girl Scout Cookie orders for the last 30 years. Did you support the Girl Scouts in Arkansas? How about DC? How about NY? You are going to need prove that you aren't a cheap old clam.

4) Halloween candy distribution reports for the last 10 years. Did you buy premium candy like "Snicker's," "Skittles," & "Butterfinger," or did you give away unsharpened-pencils? My money is on the office supplies (Schedule C deduction, after all.)

5) Finally, we are going to need your photo-processing receipts for the last 30 years. Did you always order double prints? How about the premium "Kodak" photo finishing? Always 4x6s or did you spring for the glossy 5x7s?

I am going to need these documents before the PA primary, April 22.

If you don't provide them in a timely manner, well, lets just hope you do.

[PBS Poll-435]

1. Oh Yeah....

Socks & Buddy's Vet Records...

[PBS Poll-435]

71. Kick -

Cuz I wanna.

[leftofcool]

2. I also want to know how much in tips they paid

[PBS Poll-435]

3. How could I forget the BIGGEST piece of evidence ...

If it is less than double the tax, just give it up Hill.

[uberblonde]

4. I want to see their poo.

After all, maybe they're eating the evidence to hide it.

[PBS Poll-435]

5. I disgusting thought, butt.....

I will call the lab. See if we can get the anal-ysis rushed.

[PBS Poll-435]

6. Second Thought...Ew

No thanks...

Some things really should be private...

[GarbagemanLB]

7. How does it feel living in a state that will be going for Obama?

[PBS Poll-435]

8. It is like a dream come true!

Senator Clinton never thought she would win Oregon.

:eyes:

I am actually living in Texas, now. Thanks! (for the kick)

[Occam Bandage]

17. Please thank Texas for going Obama, too. That was a nice surprise.

[PBS Poll-435]

18. When people actually voted, Hillary won.

When people were thrown into a room, somehow Obama won.

Guess people that have to work evenings, have children or parents to care for, lacked transporation, or were out of town, DO NOT COUNT!

[Occam Bandage]

19. HILLARY '08: "We'd have won, but our supporters were all out of town!"

[PBS Poll-435]

21. Nah....

It sure is telling, though.

Out of town at a funeral and requested your absentee ballot? YOU DON'T COUNT

Working late to feed your kids? YOU DON'T COUNT

Taking care of a disabled/elderly parent? YOU DON'T COUNT

Got nothing better or more important to do Tuesday night? YOU COUNT!!! :woohoo::woohoo:

[Occam Bandage]

24. I'd say the biggest difference is that

Rush Limbaugh's "OPERATION CHAOS" Republicans were unable to fuck with the caucus the same way they did the primary. Only real, committed Democrats were able to show up.

You know, Team Hillary always blames their organizational ineptitude on the poor working families unable to spare an hour in the evening, but nobody has ever presented evidence that Hillary supporters are less able to attend caucuses than Obama supporters. In fact, historically retirees and women have been the most reliable caucus attendees--and those are Hillary's prime bases. The fact that Obama wins caucuses is in spite of the makeup of attendees, not because of it, and is attributable to his superior GOTV infrastructure.

[PBS Poll-435]

25. and Intimidation.

[Occam Bandage]

31. Yet another excuse for which no evidence has been put forward,

save the occasional unsupported anecdote. There is no evidence whatsoever that the caucus system is innately biased towards Obama. The only evidence either way is the demographic makeup of attendees in previous years--and that would suggest Clinton would be moderately favored.

Obama's campaign placed a nationwide emphasis on winning caucus states. Clinton's campaign didn't. Obama won caucus states handily--and that's because he's a smart executive, not because the caucus system favors him.

[PBS Poll-435]

34. I both faced and witnessed intimidation at my precinct convention.

It was ugly. It was a good thing security was there.

There was screaming at a little old woman because she wasn't on the 'O' train.

Disgusting, yet, "lalalalalala, I can't hear you!" "Obama will be the best Executive since the last person who said he was going to run the gov't like the MBA leader he is!"

:puke:

[Occam Bandage]

38. Hey, another unsupported anecdote? That's exactly what I had requested!

I'm glad there was Democratic Security there! :crazy:

[PBS Poll-435]

40. No...the Police

It was a mess.

[Occam Bandage]

41. Did your local paper report on the near-riot the police had to contain?

[PBS Poll-435]

43. Actually...they did.

I will scan the article when I get home. (I was the precinct chair, so I am in one of the pictures!)

[Occam Bandage]

45. I'm looking forward to the link.

[BzaDem]

76. Obama WON the Repub vote in TX. Clinton won the Dem and Indy vote.

[PBS Poll-435]

78. Well, ya.

Doesn't count though. The meme is, "Rush Limbaugh delivers Texas Primary to desperate Hillary Clinton." If you tell them that it is a lie, they will go all "Operation Chaos" on your azz.

[elehhhhna]

61. people called in sick, traded shifts, brought their kids & infants, their parents, Grandma,

and/or Grandpa, they carpooled, took the bus, and...okay, fine, a few were probably out of town.

I saw all of the above plus wheelchairs (2), oxygen canisters (only one!), etc.

At a caucus!

re: the crabby children -- they and their parents really perk up when you say "Are you making history tonight?" No kidding -- even the pre-verbal young'uns seemed to grasp the excitement in the air...

[elehhhhna]

56. y'all are welcome, from all of us here in 80 degree sugar land!

gol I love this state.

Adopted it 10 years ago, after being the avowed highrise-living cab-taking big-titled city-gal (Lincoln Park, Chgo) for years -- both single and early-married. Honey & I are pleased. We like Texas and we like Texans.

GW is from CT, btw.

[PBS Poll-435]

74. Fortunately, Texas is bigger than Harris/Fort Bend Counties!

[chascarrillo]

9. So, you disagree with Clinton's assertion that candidates' tax returns should be made public?

Because that's the argument she made in her 2000 campaign.

[PBS Poll-435]

10. Not at all.

I haven't seen it happen in a primary though...

I am just saddened that there was no dirt.

[KittyWampus]

46. You're in an alternative universe if you think there's no "dirt" in the Clinton's tax returns.

Oh, and look up Lazio/Hillary, she made a HUGE issue of Lazio's taxes.

LOL!

Oh, that's right. You seem to think a primary is somehow different.

[PBS Poll-435]

48. Tradition makes it different.

Tax Returns are usually given to the media in the fall. Before the debates.

And if there is dirt, find some. The Obama people have been screaming for weeks. "Where are the tax returns???" Now...not such a big deal, is it?




ETA: Fix verb tense

[shaniqua6392]

11. The only things we found out from those tax returns was

that they pay a shitload of taxes and they are an extremely charitable couple. Great Americans in my opinion!!

[PBS Poll-435]

15. They are good people and

excellent role-models. It is a shame how they have been made into co-Presidents of Hades.

[shaniqua6392]

62. I remember when a bad word was never said about the Clinton's

here on DU. We were all very proud of them. Yes, we were very disappointed at some of what Bill did but we really loved them both. I can not believe some of the horrible things people say about them now. They are criticized here worse than the Bush Crime Family.

[PBS Poll-435]

64. I know!

And people now say crazy things like they are fact. It is like the Ken Starr/Newt Gingrich worship club. I thought that was what FR was for... :shrug::shrug:

[SwampG8r]

82. charity isnt giving yourself money

which is exactly what they did through their "foundation"

[PBS Poll-435]

95. How many threads are you going to repeat the same lie?

[MethuenProgressive]

12. Breaking! Tax Returns Show Clintons Successful, Honest, Generous! ObamaBots HeartBroken!"

And I won a beer! :rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

14. It was crushing, I am sure.

They had invested so much phony outrage. They demanded to see the returns, and all they got was a silly t-shirt.

[jakem]

13. hey, if dubai pays me a million, ill pay taxes on it!

i am a great citizen!

[PBS Poll-435]

16. Yeah...but will you give 10% to charity?

[high density]

27. 31% taxes less another 10% charity = 62.1% profit

Sure, I'd do that.

[PBS Poll-435]

29. Cool!

Me too. As soon as you serve two terms, and are regarded as a true world leader, lots of people will want you to make speeches and such!

[high density]

32. Yeah it adds up fast at $1 million a pop

I think I'd give 10 speeches and then hang it up.

[PBS Poll-435]

35. Always leave them wanting more, right?

[SwampG8r]

83. that was before

this train wreck hilliary involved herself in
i dont think there is as much clinton "influence"to PEDDLE now

[Orsino]

20. $109 million IS dirt.

Or would be, if America didn't worship money. Fortunately for the Clintons, the Obamas aren't exactly poor, either, so that may not want to be a conversation either side wants to start.

[PBS Poll-435]

22. But they just got done paying off their student loans!!!

:cry::cry:

If they didn't hire Rezco as thier Remax agent, they have to live in an apartment.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

75. "Rezco as thier Remax agent"

Good one!

[PBS Poll-435]

77. Thanks. It seemed snarky & appropriate.

Rezko even brought the Obama family a housewarming fruit basket! He even played with the family dog.

[SwampG8r]

84. rezko?dont be an ass

if this is your hope......your hopeless

[PBS Poll-435]

87. Having a picture taken is

Exactly the same as a close working relationship. Exactly the same I tell ya! Cuz, you know. Rezco bought helped Bill & Hill buy the house they lived in for 8 years. Hell, he even bought the adjoining property so that they could have more privacy. Then he sold it back to them at a fraction of fair-market value.

And no, I am not pinning any hope on Rezko stopping Obama. I just love the hypocrisy of it all...

[Catherine Vincent]

23. Kick!

For the Obama supporters.

[PBS Poll-435]

36. Thanks

for the kick!

:kick:

[jillan]

26. What I want to know is -

How many pantsuits does she have? Where does she go shopping? Does she buy accessories for each outfit?

How can she run for President without disclosing this information??????




:P

[PBS Poll-435]

28. And why in the HELL

Does she wear turquoise outside of the Southwest?

[ProSense]

30. What I want to know is...

Moreover, there are unanswered questions about some of Bill Clinton's business ties that could cause trouble for his wife's campaign.

<...>

The former president earned $15.4 million from billionaire Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Cos. investment firm since 2003, according to the tax documents. Tax lawyers said the Yucaipa partnership income for Clinton, 61, looks to be a form of salary because it was in round numbers for most years, raising questions about what services he performed for Los Angeles-based Yucaipa, whose investors include the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid al-Maktoum.

InfoUSA

Bill Clinton also earned $800,000 in 2006 and 2007 as an adviser to infoUSA Inc., a data-mining company owned by Vinod Gupta, a longtime supporter.

InfoUSA shareholders sued over the payments to Clinton and over the more than $146,000 it spent to fly the Clintons to Acapulco in 2002. Gupta has said the expenditures were legitimate. In December, the company's chief financial officer said the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating.

Clinton also invested in an offshore hedge fund, Quellos Alpha Engine LP, run by Seattle-based Quellos Group LLC. In 2006, a Senate panel detailed in a report how Quellos Group had ``designed, promoted and implemented'' an illegal tax shelter based on fake securities transactions and shell companies.

[PBS Poll-435]

33. LOLz

You are Baghdad Bob with good HTML formatting.

If it is a tax-shelter, how come they paid income tax on K-1 income? That doesn't make any sense. If it were a tax-shelter to them, it would have losses that you could pass-through to offset Sch C, Sch E, and regular W2/1099 income.

[ProSense]

37. I'm "Baghdad Bob"? You want to send your inside joke to Bloomberg and see if they have an answer?

Laughing at the facts don't make them go away. Hillary will tell you that it doesn't work (see Bosnia tale).

[PBS Poll-435]

39. The same Bloomburg that some people around here want

as Obama's running mate?

Nah.

[ProSense]

42. Huh? It's Bloomberg, and do you know the difference between a media source and the Mayor of NYC? n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

44. Sure do!

Thanks.

[Occam Bandage]

47. Then you would know that it is not the same Bloomberg,

any more than CNN is Ted Turner.

[PBS Poll-435]

49. Really?

Bloomberg is the majority partner in his firm. He owns 72% of his company. He is much, much closer now than Turner was to CNN.

[Occam Bandage]

50. Bloomberg L.P. is a company, which is partially owned by Michael Bloomberg. They are

closely linked, but not the same Bloomberg.

[PBS Poll-435]

51. What do you mean "not the same Bloomberg?"

[Occam Bandage]

52. You said, "The same Bloomberg...?" The answer is no, not the same Bloomberg.

Different entities.

[PBS Poll-435]

53. I still don't follow. I will make it real easy for you.

Michael Bloomberg is not just an owner in his company/partnership. He owns for that 2/3 of it. He makes 84%, personally, of the revenue.

His name has been floated around here as a possible running mate for Obama.

If someone links to a Bloomberg article, that makes no sense in the context, then I reserve my right to be highly skeptical.

[Occam Bandage]

54. The question was, "The same Bloomberg?" It was not, "A very closely affiliated entity

also popularly referred to as Bloomberg?"

[PBS Poll-435]

55. Yeah...it is the same -

Or at least 72% of it.

I will believe, as a rule, 28% of every Bloomberg article. Happy?

[MNDemNY]

57. Barack, where are the IL. Senate records?

[PBS Poll-435]

58. He's working on it!

It takes time! Are there any records? "Present!"

[MNDemNY]

59. Shredders.

[PBS Poll-435]

60. LOL

Probably

[NashVegas]

63. Hehehe

Nice.

[PBS Poll-435]

65. Thanks!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

66. 6) Yacht receipts

Public service pays! :)

[PBS Poll-435]

67. Hillary seems to be the kind of lady

That gets sea-sick on yachts....
:puke::puke::puke:


J/K, I have no idea if she likes to sail...
However, only the actual entertainment portion is deductable - food, fuel, captain, vodka. Not the boat!

[PBS Poll-435]

68. Finally, I need your Blackjack strategy.

Do you hit on 16?

My apologies to Rob Reiner

[Orsino]

69. I can't make my final decisions until I see an accounting of all the mattress tags.

"Not to be removed under penalty of law" means something, Senator Clinton!!!!1!

[PBS Poll-435]

70. More parsing, I guess

Except for the final(ultimate) consumer...


J/K

Thanks for the kick, and the humor!

:toast:

[PBS Poll-435]

72. For the evening folks...

[PBS Poll-435]

73. Final Kick for the daytime-working folks

79. I think some here would like to examine the Clenis very closely. Very.

Given their inordinate fascination with it.

[PBS Poll-435]

91. The anger is triggered

by rejection.

[cliffordu]

80. What about bananas for Mark Penn??

[Bensthename]

81. We need to see the actual bullet shells from those snipers too.

[PBS Poll-435]

93. I am sure there will be an exhibit in Massachusetts

At the Hillary Rodham Clinton Presidential Library & Museum. On the campus of Wellesley University...

[boppers]

85. Ken Starr went all "fishing expidition on me"!!111eleventyone.

Hillary: the 20th century called, they want their excuses back.

[FlyingSquirrel]

86. WOW!!! 12 Recs in 14 hours, and all it took was

for you to kick your post constantly!

:eyes:

Oops, now it might get another rec.

[PBS Poll-435]

89. Thanks for the kick!

[Jamastiene]

88. Y'all sure are a nosy bunch, aren't ya? n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

99. Read it again...please

[Evergreen Emerald]

90. It cracks me up that any nut job that attacks clinton is given airtime.

It is also pretty funny that Obama was demanding Clinton's tax return when he had not even produced his...the media let that one pass as he slipped them out after hounding Clinton--without a peep from the media.

And again, she gives more exposure than anyone ever has...and in keeping with the distortions and attacks, the nut jobs keep nodding in stepford like fashion.

What a bunch of bullshit.

Where are Obama's State Senate records? "I don't have them." Gee? What is he hiding? I think the hypocrites should be disclosing their information before shouting for other's.

[PBS Poll-435]

94. Read the OP...

It was slightly sarcastic! (I am on your side!)

[Auntie Bush]

92. Why don't you ask George bush*?

He sees and knows all with his snooping. He knows the answer to that question. Don't worry ..he'll leak it to the dependable Obama propaganda personnel or KO.

[PBS Poll-435]

96. Ain't that the truth...

The tactics between the Obama camp & the Bush 2000 campaign are remarkably similar -

1. Reform & Reshape Gov't.

2. Doesn't know some stuff. Will pack the cabinet with smart people.

3. Outsider. Not part of the D.C. Crowd.

4. Hillary Clinton has a black baby.

[Auntie Bush]

97. You're WRONG!

It saw McCain who had the black baby...not Hillary! lol

[PBS Poll-435]

98. :-)

Although...From all the crap I have heard from the Church of Obamatology lately, I wouldn't put it past them.
