    Don't you know? Obama is the worst president ever, Hillary is the most corrupt politician and soon to be the worst president ever. Before all this of course Bill was the worst president ever.

    The Clintons have gained over 100 million dollars in net worth since Bill left office....that's a TON of influence peddling. Anyway, I don't doubt that there are some that will refuse to see the obvious for partisan reasons, but the Clintons are the gold standard for corruption and being able to get away with it.

    NBA players are some of the best compensated employees in the world. You can't compare pretty much anything to them. Just ask yourself what services they are providing in order to pull in that kind of money....do you imagine those things are on the up and up?

    Again, the accepted standard by the American people is whoring, we re-elect the incumbent at about at the 90% rate. How is she worse or the most corrupt?

    What acts did she commit that are more egregious than the standard?

    Well, they are good at what they do and are popular. If making money is corruption, the 1% are all corrupted. Silliness and cynicism.

    LOL fair enough, I'm not here to shatter delusions. If you want to think that Hillary is a competent and pure politician that greatly sacrificed in her life for the good of the people then....well you are a special kind of person and I'd hate to take away that childlike wonder.

    Again, her skipping private sector work for public sector work was not part of a grand plan. She didn't run for office until 2000. Prior to that she was a public sector lawyer and wife of a politician. It isn't like early career Bill Clinton in Arkansas benefited from having a wife in the public sector working on children's issues and segregation lol.

    It has all certainly worked out in a way that has allowed her to cash in big time, but in the 1970s there was absolutely no reason to believe that her going public vs private was about wealth and power.

    Edit: Many politicians have wives who go private sector and make the big money while they earn government wages.

    Well, that opens the door up to challenge you to post a picture of yourslef and your wife so we can judge... :cool:

    Seriously, I think she is an attractive women. Even more attractive is her list of accomplishments. I am very proud of both my daughters; Bill and Hillary Clinton are rightfully proud of their daughter.
