Ahem: Why should Hillary have to return donations made by a cheater?
:wtf:

NY Post: Will Hill return haul from heel? Media Matters: Will Post probe other pols getting cash from cads?

Summary: In a July 26 article, the New York Post reported that "Peter Cook, who humiliated his supermodel wife, Christie Brinkley, by bedding a doe-eyed teen in the Hamptons, has given thousands in campaign cash to Hillary Rodham Clinton ." The Post went on to report that it asked Clinton whether she would return Cook's campaign contributions. Now that the New York Post has decided to start asking candidates if they will return contributions connected to people who have committed adultery, fairness demands that the Post apply this standard consistently.

3. OK, I don't think Hillary has a chance in hell of winning a general
election; but, what does one's extra-marital affairs have to do with how much money they've given and to whom it was given as a political contribution?

:wtf:

If all cheaters had to take back their contributions, the Republican Party would cease to exist, for Pete's sake!

5. It' just the Swift Boat Veterans for Fidelity.
It's just another reminder of Bill's affair with a younger woman, it has nothing to do with money.
