Hillary says that her Corporate Donors don't affect her decisions,

[PeoViejo]

..but Bernie says that his Millions of donors do affect how he makes his decisions. Which is it Hillary?

You must think we're stupid or something.

1. The Koch network alone has begun spending the $889 million that they have budgeted in 2016.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

3. When Bernie is nominee, the people of America will answer...

...We have answered against Clinton and now we the people are outraising her and her billionaire cronies.

[Trust Buster]

4. You must be joking. I'm talking $889 million. How much has Sanders raised in total ?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

8. Bernie raised 183.8 million, Clinton raised 183.4 million since end of March...

But how much did Bush raise? And what the hell happened to that high roller?

[PeoViejo]

20. Bush's Money was well spent

..I can still hear that Toilet flush.

[Autumn]

2. I'm gonna have to go with "thinks we're stupid or something"

Of course her corporate donors, her foundation donors and the people who pay to hear her lovely voice giving off the record speeches influence every fucking decision she makes. Hell they influence every breath she takes

[bigwillq]

5. I don't believe anything Mrs. Clinton says

And I believe Bernie only slightly more. I learned a long time ago to never trust a politician.

[KPN]

6. You are right, but she's not the only one

who must think we're stupid. There are plenty of them. But the sleeping giant was just sleeping and has been awakened.

7. Why would anybody donate to a politician

if they didn't expect something in return? When I donate to a campaign it's because I'm hoping that candidate will promote policies and legislation that helps or at least don't hurt me. Corporations are not allowed to donate directly to a campaign, but thanks to the Supreme Court they can donate unlimited funds to super PACs that support a candidate. Of course, there can be no coordination between the campaign and the PAC (and if you believe that never happens, well...), but why would a corporation, as directed by its management, give large sums of money to a candidate's super PAC unless it expects that candidate to do good things for it? What other reason could there be to give that money away? And how naive can anyone possibly be to believe a claim that donations don't affect decisions?

9. She doesn't think much of us.

I hate it when leaders lie to us.

[brooklynite]

10. You're telling me Sanders wouldn't be pushing his policies if he weren't getting funding?

[oldandhappy]

13. Sanders is getting money BECAUSE of his policies.

[Orsino]

16. Funny how that works.

People-based policies attract people-based donations.

We know what kind of policies draw corporate-based money, and what sort of future policies those dollars will drive. Tautology.

11. Molly Ivins said they do it in Texas.

She said one old time Texas legislator told a newcomer, "Son if you want to survive in the Texas Lege, you gotta be able to drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, then stand up on the floor of the lege and vote against them." (I am quoting this from memory, so it may not be 100 percent.) Of course this doesn't happen now, because the amounts of money are so astronomical, and that money plays such an important part in a politician's life. All legislators say they follow Ivins' advice, but we know not all do. Perhaps none do. Call me cynical, but I think money buys things, and nobody spends money unless they expect to get something in return.

[oldandhappy]

12. oh, no, my goodness, no, of course not, absolutely no way money can touch your decisions

[pengu]

14. They don't have to affect her, she already agrees with them

[PeoViejo]

17. We have a Winnah!!!

[PeoViejo]

21. Tha-Thump!

Thank You.

[CentralCoaster]

15. Sanders speaks to tens of thousands at one time. For free. Clinton charges for a selfie-opp.

>

And $27,000 for a seat at dinner and chance to actually touch her.

[Recursion]

18. I don't get your "Which is it?"

She said her donors don't affect her positions, he said his does. You'd say "Which is it?" if she had also claimed Sanders's donors affect his positions.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Bill Clinton says that he "didn't have sex with that woman".

[Lazy Daisy]

22. She doesn't care what we think.

People lie to you for 2 reasons.
1) They don't care about you. They could care less if they hurt you with their lies. They're going to tell you what they want, and could care less what you think or feel. Fuck you, believe it or don't, they couldn't care less.

2) They think you're stupid. They think, for whatever reason, you are too damned dim-witted to know you are being lied to and think you'll believe whatever garbage they spew your way.


So, no Hillary, I'm not stupid and yes Hillary, I know you don't give a fuck about me.

[rock]

23. I'm certainly going to have to go with Bernie on this
