5. Yes, it is
but the OP seems incapable of posting anything positive about any other candidate - just stupid smears against Clinton.

3. Lets see she was on the board of directors late 80's early 90's
Edited on Tue Apr-03-07 11:22 AM by William769
And the article is from a bitches blog that has had it in for her for over a decade. Sorry I'll stick with the winner, Mrs. Clinton.

4. Sigh. Not this myth again.
Yes, she was on the board of Wal-Mart--back in the 1980s, when it was owned and operated by Sam Walton, a guy whose goal was to sell only products made in the US. It wasn't until Walton's kids got ahold of the company in the early to mid 90s that it started fully going to hell. It's also worth noting that she was pretty much responsible for the company's employment diversity program at the time.

Tasini's completely distorting reality for the sake of his hit piece. I would have thought that there are enough genuine reasons to be upset with Hillary without having to completely lie in order to make up new ones.

6. This slamming of a democrat is getting sickening
What would happen if we all started slaming all the other dem candidates. The republican are doing a hell of a job swiftboating her already. If a democrat isn't man enought to accept a woman just say so and tell us that.

7. Besides if you live 40 miles from another store
you like to buy your groceries and supplies close by. Like we do.

12. LOL.
"I’ve raised the Wal-Mart relationship repeatedly in my current race against Clinton and it causes deep unease among voters"

You're right Johnny boy. They were so at unease they voted for her 80% to your piddling 20%.

13. Really? I used to work at Wal-Mart. And the ever corrupt McDonalds.
I guess I can never run for office, right?

15. Well I guess Hillary will get a lot of support here in Spokane, WA.
I have never been to town so enamored with shopping and supporting Wal Mart like Spokane. Almost the entire metropolitan area shops there! (About 400,000 people!) My sister and my Mom still shop at Wal Mart. No matter how many times I try to convince and give them info on how bad Wal Mart is, they ignore it. Me and my brother in law seem like the only ones around here that won't shop Wal Mart.

Now I have another reason why I won't back Hillary and shop Wal Mart!

You wouldn't back Hillary if she closed down every Walmart in the country and sent them packing to a remote corner of the world.

27. I never said I would back Hillary in my comment, did I?
Edited on Tue Apr-03-07 09:50 PM by Cascadian
I was referring to the popularity of Wal Mart here in the area where I live.

16. Oh no
I actually like Walmart, but don't care for Hillary much.

I guess that means I'll have to start shopping at Target to be consistent, huh?

25. Judging by the post count, I'd say 'yes.'
Might be new to the liberal blogosphere. Many of their evil traits are not well known outside our sphere.

26. Yes...
I am serious. I know that some wal-mart stores have broken laws, but overall wal-mart saves poor people a lot of money. Many families would suffer financial hardships if they could only shop at ma and pa stores.

23. What tripe.
She was on the board in the pre-evil days?
She received a trivial amount of money from them?

OMG TEH SCANDALZ!
