Surprise! Politicians sometimes pose in pictures with people that they don't know
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 10:41 AM by Lirwin2
Other politicians sometimes have 17 year friendships with slumlords and engage in behaviour with them that borders on illegal.

2. So what would you say if you find out Rezko contributed to them?
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 10:41 AM by dkf
and its not just posing with a person they "don't know"?

I have a feeling the Clinton's are going to be exposed as the hypocrites they are.

4. How many thousands of people donate to candidates?
I don't expect them to KNOW every one of them. Do you?

6. Hillary is very thorough. I'm sure she knows who has the money and
who to ingratiate herself to.

We will see.

13. You are already defending her in anticipation that it will come out
Rezko is a Clinton contributor.

I'm the one laughing.

14. Who cares if he's a contributor? That's 100% legal.
What does it have to do with Obama?

5. unless Hillary landed him tax-payer funded contracts
(and lied about it later) and landed a sweet deal on a house (later admitting it was a "mistake" and a "boneheaded decision"), it's a non-issue.

3. and write letters for them landing them multi-million tax payer funded projects
to build low-income housing ... despite the fact they have no construction experience and the buildings end up falling apart five years later.

They also accept campaign contributions from them even though, at the time, said buildings are going without heat because they claim they have no money ... except, of course, to continue greasing the palm of the politician.

And they sometimes claim to have received "$50,000 to $60,000" from them even though it's nearly $200,000.

Politicians do a lot of crazy things and then claim otherwise, especially if they're trying desperately to escape the stench of past decisions made for political expediency which end up derailing one's Presidential Hopes.
