You shouldn't do a favor for someone & expect them to forever more support you no matter what you do

But that seems to be how the Clintons operate. They do a favor and by God you had better support them in the future and have no problem with how they do business (even if you are a physician who sees how Americans are suffering under the current healthcare system - e.g., older people can't afford their medications, people are being forced into bankruptcy).

Which begs the question - Why do the Clintons do such favors? Because it is the right thing to do or because it is just another political chip they feel entitled to forevermore cash in?

Maybe there's a "nicer" word than "whores." It's "grifters." All the evidence shows that the Clinton's are the latter, which doesn't exclude them from being the former, but I'm trying my best to be nice. I'm certainly not hurting anyone's approval ratings.

They really don't get why this doesn't look good on Hillary. But, whatever they will stew in their juices I don't care. I am just happy they have given permission to us to use the term Corporate Whore. Because really without them I wouldn't have noticed someone said that. I didn't watch the rally.

Rescuing a family member from N. Korea after being sentenced to hard labor is just a "favor".

The memes write themselves. From "Thanks, Obama!" to "Thanks, Hillary!"
