only in America can we have a presidential candidate that is the target of an FBI investigation and that candidate is a 4-1 favorite to win the election.

i say even if she doesn't get the indicted she still won't win. the public here cannot be that stupid.

Yes, they can be that stupid.
The average Joe is voting for personalities and not issues.
The average Joe has never been to a candidate's website to find out policies.
The average Joe can be that stupid.

The world is full of idiots. America has more than their fair share. Just look at the idiot they elected in Minnesota, Al Franken. Enough said.

Socialism defies any common bond with this logic. This is why socialism never works and basically never has. People are not happy with restraints put on them. The desire to do better is a human trait, not a political one. When a society becomes overly unhappy as has been the history with socialist / communist countries, because they cannot function as nature intended, they always fall apart in some form or another.
All you have to do is read these articles on Venezuela and know that socialism does not work. That country is in total chaos. 87 percent of the people cannot afford food. Inflation is at 180 percent and is expected to rise to 720 percent. Mostpost and H4C would be proud of their socialist utopia down there.

The government literally wants to print more currency, but they outsourced that to a printer in another country, and now they don't have enough money to pay the printer.

Yes .... I guess so since I'm called being arrogant by a far left lunatic, it must be arrogant since I do know first hand all the swill, lies and b-s propagated by this hateful Democrat Party, by this affirmative-action President who is dumber than water and the world's laughing stock, and the unscrupulous mainstream media.

Yes .... I have those values you hate because you and your left wing haters have zero values, are empty in the heart, in the mind and in the soul.

Yet, you support Hillary Clinton, don't you? That must be real arrogant of you since she is under federal investigation for crimes that would place other less politically connected citizens in jail!

Hillary also was once thrown off the Watergate Committee because of her unscrupulous and immoral conduct -- thrown off by an anti-Nixon democrat who saw first hand what a despicable, unlawful person she is -- and that was 40 years ago!!

We've already been down the slimey road called Bill Clinton Boulevard before. He's your guy too, mostpost. Multiple rapes, dozens of sexual abuse and assault cases. Again, if he was a regular person, he'd be in jail now, celebrating his 25th year there. But you support him, so go ahead and criticise me for not liking the guy and expecting more from a President than the deviant he is, one that shoved a cigar up a woman's you-know-where. Real classy, mostpost. I am sure you are proud of him.

Go support the Clintons, mostpost. Or write in Bernie Sanders' name instead, since you mentioned he was your preferred choice. You like Bernie...you feel the bern.... all that. I guess his speech the other day was OK-by you, the speech full of vile, hateful, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel crap by your guy, Bernie.

Yes, I have values and my values do not need to be explained away.

You, mostpost, should be thankful for places such as PA and the kindness, patience and civility of the people who run it and those posters that put up with your virulent hatred and your racism on a regular basis.

Ho hum, a new month and a new Clinton corruption story. Yawn.

The Clinton's son in law, Chelsea's husband, is Marc Mezvinsky, a hedge fund manager. Mezvinsky created a $325 million offshore hedge fund through a special arrangement with investment bank Goldman Sachs. Mmmn, Goldman Sachs, why is that name familiar? And why would they want to do business with some kid named Mezvinsky? Ah, probably because he came up the the brilliant idea of a hedge fund based on Greek bonds. Nothing to do with his in-laws.

In 2012, Mezvinski, the husband of Chelsea Clinton, created a $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners banner through a special arrangement with investment bank Goldman Sachs. The funds have lost tens of millions of dollars predicting that bailouts of the Greek banking system would pump up the value of the country’s distressed bonds. One fund, exclusively dedicated to Greek debt, suffered near-total losses.

Clinton stepped down as secretary of state in 2013 to run for president. But newly released emails from 2012 show that she and Clinton Foundation consultant, Sidney Blumenthal, shared classified information about how German leadership viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout. Clinton also shared “protected” State Department information about Greek bonds with her husband at the same time that her son-in-law aimed his hedge fund at Greece.

That America’s top diplomat kept a sharp eye on intelligence assessing the chances of a bailout of the Greek central bank is not a problem. However, sharing such sensitive information with friends and family would have been highly improper. Federal regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic information to further private interests or the interests of others. The mere perception of a conflict of interest is unacceptable.

Through its press representative, Eaglevale declined to comment for this story. Clinton’s campaign press office did not respond to a request for comment.

Way to many people don't care about this stuff. That is why Hillary has a good shot at winning. They are more concerned with the free goodies she has promised them than another scandal.

Yes. That is a problem. The average Joe doesn't care about the corruption and lying of the Clintons.

In case there is any doubt left in anyone's mind that the NY Times is in the bag for Hillary, the following is from their article on the release of the House Benghazi Report this past week.

Quote:
At a news conference at the Capitol on Tuesday, Mr. Gowdy praised as heroes the Americans who died in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2012. They included Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith, a State Department information officer, who were killed at the main American diplomatic compound in Benghazi by a mob of militia fighters who had been incited by an American-made video deriding the Prophet Muhammad.

3.5 hours of questioning by the FBI today.
It's time to either charge her, or exonerate her.
That won't suit Republicans, though, now will it?

Three and a half hours are not enough time to read the charges against her.

You wish.

Just in case you were in prison lately and missed it,
there are no charges against her.

Just the overactive imaginations of conservatives.
