"Money"
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money, get back
I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away
"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out."

Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)... Have been nonsense like this. I have been a member for just over a month now so I don't have any reference prior to this month, but it seems like people are being alerted for the most absurd things.
This goes for for Hillary and Sanders supporters.

(190 posts)I've been a member of DU since 2002. I don't normally post much, unless I feel I have something important to contribute, which accounts for my low post count. I enjoy reading other poster's opinions, but this has traveled into the realm of absurd! I have never seen so much vitriol! I know primary season is often controversial, but lately, I feel as if I need a shower after I go to GDP.

(2,566 posts)Upon learning of the influence money, which only can result in conflicts of interest and corruption, my support of the Clintons immediately ended.
Made me feel like a was a nasty Repub for about a week after I stopped supporting them, but I'm over that now
Being a sucker all those years just leaves me with feelings of anger and extreme disappointment with regard to the Clintons.
I also hate having to admit the Repugs were right, dammit!
Kalidurga
(14,177 posts)I voted for Bill twice. I defended Hillary against Cons on more than one occasion. But, you don't have to think the Cons were right. They weren't they might have been accidentally right about her being bad news, but they weren't right about the reasons. That is because they had no reasons. If they had actually laid out their reasons I am thinking that those reasons would have been blarg blarg blarg, oh no reasons because reason isn't exactly their strong suit.

People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know
Who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money
For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper
It carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar
I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money

(2,586 posts)Wall Street Reform = More weak legislation
Bring back jobs = Private investment
Grow the economy = Tax breaks for businesses
Health care reform = More government subsidies to insurance companies
Mass incarceration = chance at reformation
She's not good for anyone other than the businesses who have paid her to be a part of her racket.

(39 posts)If this is what a discussion is about I feel sorry for you supporters of Bernie. I know he is not about this and would probably be ashamed of you all. He may not like or agree with Hillary's view on things, but he would not be nasty about it.
Hillary supporters are defending her because of the nasty comments made.
