Can Hillary be any more 2 Faced

Now her handlers have pushed her out into a crowd of striking Verizon Workers.

Honestly how can anyone look their self in the mirror and say they "Think" Hillary is being truthful with voters. Seriously 6th graders can see through this.



Meet the lobbyists, donors and bundlers behind Hillary’s $157 million juggernaut

A savvy political operative who was once chief of staff to Democratic Majority Leader Dick Gephardt, Elmendorf now runs Subject Matter, a go-to Democratic lobbying firm for corporate interests, raking more than $10 million in fees last year. Among its top clients: Wall Street banks (Goldman Sachs and Citigroup), the casino industry (the American Gaming Association), telecoms (Verizon and Time Warner), tech firms (Facebook and Microsoft), agribusiness (Monsanto) and the NFL.

Can she be even more two faced? She just out-did herself by showing up on a pick line of a company that donated to her superpac. She will continue to do this stuff in desperation to try to appear like Bernie.

then she is two-faced? Is it possible that she just wanted the most effective fundraising team in order to 'play ball' with the repubs who have far more big money donors. Since Citizen's United has been law, repubs have outspent us in local, state and national races...she doesn't want to face them unprepared.

My dentists also takes care of several prominent local repub officials in my state. Does that make me two-faced as well? And don't even get me started on the clientele of the coffee shop I frequent.

All of the Top 10 Corporate Tax Dodgers Have Donated to Hillary Clinton
February 1, 2016

3. Verizon
In the four years between 2008 and 2012, Verizon pocketed over $30 billion in profits and paid a tax rate of -1.8 percent, according to CTJ. The Sanders campaign’s research claims that in 2012 alone, Verizon would have paid $630 million in income taxes had they been unable to stash U.S. profits in offshore tax havens.

Verizon has given between $118,000 and $300,000 to the Clinton Foundation in recent years. And as Zaid Jilani reported in Alternet last year, Hillary Clinton is the favored candidate of numerous Verizon executives, many of whom have given the maximum donation to her 2016 effort:

Verizon vice-presidents Lydia Pulley, Kathleen Grillo, and Donna Epps each gave $2,700 to Hillary for America. Verizon senior vice-president Thomas Edwards and vice-president Chris Debosier pitched in $1,000. Leecia Eve, a former Hillary staffer who today is a lobbyist for Verizon gave $2,700. Another Verizon lobbyist, David Lamendola, gave Hillary $1,000.

To contrast, Sanders appeared at a rally for striking Verizon workers in New York City last year, demanding the company meet the workers’ demands and admonishing its executives for the company’s greedy practices.


Hillary Clinton is just about as two-faced as it is possible to be.

I honestly think the number of positions Hillary can take on any given issue is limited only by her imagination.
