The Clinton's are one of the richest families in the country. Bill could skip a few speeches


"Romney's Blind trust" . That's hilarious. The only thing that was blind was his hidden tax records.
Romney's Blind trust managed by his best friend

You're going to need a serious bean-counter if you are going to keep track of all the "big dollar speeches given to special interest groups" during campaign season. If thats your attack against the Clintons then you will be standing in front of a giant glass house.


Wait a minute PJ, I think I know you better than that. Are you seriously trying to say that if you had a billion or whatever dollars, you'd rather trust some yahoo advisor at tdameritrade rather than have your attorney/trusted advisor watch over your money? I hardly believe that.

PJ, please tell me what in this Dr Sanders bio that leads you to believe that he's a crackpot. As Sanders is one of the World's most Ebola knowledgeable scientists, he's in a good position to discuss a mutation to airborne transmission.

David A. Sanders
David SandersDavid Sanders is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at Purdue University. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Yale College in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. He conducted graduate research with Dr. Daniel E. Koshland, Jr., who was then editor of the journal Science, at the University of California at Berkeley. His Biochemistry Ph.D. thesis concerned his discovery of a critical biochemical reaction that underlies how bacteria sense and respond to changes in their environments. He also originated the idea for a "Molecule of the Year" (now called "Breakthrough of the Year") feature in Science. Following a position as a Visiting Scientist at the University of California at San Francisco, where he studied signal-transducing GTPases, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, which is affiliated with M.I.T. It was there that he began his studies on the entry of viruses into cells with a focus on the inhibition of infection and applications to gene therapy. He joined the Markey Center for Structural Biology at Purdue in 1995, where he is also a member of the Cancer Center. Dr. Sanders was the discoverer of a biochemical reaction that leads to the entry of cancer-causing retroviruses into cells. His work on the Ebola virus led to his participation in the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Biological Weapons Proliferation Prevention Program, a product of the Nunn-Lugar legislation. His responsibilities included inspecting the Vector laboratory in Siberia, which was the site of biological-weapons development in the era of the Soviet Union. He has investigated the transmission of viruses from other animals, especially birds, to humans and is often invited to speak on biodefense, evolution, gene therapy, vaccination and influenza viruses in public forums, including regular interviews on WIBC in Indianapolis, He is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award and an American Cancer Society Research Scholar.

And you have as much evidence for that as your claims about Bengazhi and Airborne Ebola.

Maybe Charles Schwab? Or any independant firm that does not have a client-privileged confidentiality agreement. Mitt's blind trust was blind....because he says so. he promised his lawyer wasn't giving him any information about his financial accounts and we can verify that by .....taking Mitt's word for it. Lucky Mitt had lots of voters like Hoops that are willing to take his word for things.


Crazy. You mean you blindly accept whatever Hillary says as the truth with everything's shes's been questioned about but you question if Mitt and his lawyers relationship is as they say. You do know his attorney could get disbarred if found not to be true. Far, far, WAY FURTHER less than if some of the things Hillary has said were found not to be true. SHEESH

John, she's a Clinton meaning words never matter. They can never be caught even IF you have a video of them doing something illegal it would never stick because of what the meaning of the word is, is.

What the meaning of the word is, is? Are you trying to tar the wife for the sins of the husband?

I don't know about that. It would be like saying that because Jeb Bush has proven himself to be a complete moron lately, it means that George W. Bush must be stupid too.

That would be VERY unfair to George W.

A NPR report is showing that shrillery has answered 13 questions from the presss since announcing her candidacy; none since april April 20th. Half of the questions are versions of how do you like Iowa.

Why is she hiding?

I have no problem with Mitt having his money managed by his BFF. I just have a problem when people call it a "blind trust".

Jatki has no problem connecting dots when determining a conflict of interest between Clinton relations and their money. It seems to be a more difficult exercise when Republicans engage in this behavior. And the sun rose today.

He's not a crackpot. You misquoted him and his position and claimed that Ebola was airborne on these boards. I hope he doesn't read these boards...he might sue you for libel.

W did the same thing leading up to the 2000 election....and you were so upset about it that you voted for him twice.

We are only 5 months after the midterm winners took office. I'd be thrilled if none of the 2016 candidates said anything until next Janaury.

DonDiego has been to Iowa, . . . just barely, . . . what they call the Quad Cities down on the Mississippi 'cross from Illinois. All DonDiego remembers is Rock island Arsenal in the middle of the river, technically Federal Land in Illinois, and some casinos floating off the shore of Davenport and the Palmer College of Chiropractic up on the hill overlooking the Mississippi.

Other than that Iowa seems pretty empty. Nonetheless, DonDiego recommends keeping it, as otherwise there'd be nothing separating Missouri from Minnesota, . . . and Nebraska from Illinois.

Oh and there's corn, too! Apparently Elvis Presely's final words were "Corn ?", or so poor old DonDiego has heard.
